New car

[Fbody3400]

So my little brother is looking for a car. Its gonna be his first. He wants a 5.0 Mustang, 88-93 GT. I told him he'd be better off with an LT1 camaro/formula/trans am. What do you guys think? Or do you have any other suggestions?

I never recomend a V8 for a kids first car. I would however recomend a v6 fbody.

5.0 aftermarket is flooded... i think they have a section for them at walmart. if he wants to mod, that's the way to go.

but let him wreck something else, honestly.

You could get him a "5.0" and put a flathead Ford V8 in it. V8 sound with 100 horsepower! [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

VERY true.

Get a simple FWD car for him to learn on.

i learned on a 3100 powered 95 lumina and im glad i did. if i had gotten even the slowest 5.0 mustang i probably would be dead... so maybe you should tell him to get a 5.0.

i have a 3800 as my first car. i learned how to drive on my mom's minivan and my dad's tahoe. v6 camaros are good because they are fast but not too fast, and look cool to boot. i would be scarred for life if i had to drive to school in a jetta or civic. [img]graemlins/barf.gif[/img]

so u want him to die??? ur sick

justkiddin...i know what you mean
my firebird was and is my first car. ive got into some trouble in the old girl within the year and an half or so ive had her. (which will happen w/ a 16 y/o in any car) If he's an American high school guy im sure he'll also like an F-body for its girl grabbing capabilities :D

^ i totally agree, my camaro is my first car, but i started out learning on my moms exploder [img]smile.gif[/img] ive 'only' got 2 tickets, and a few other pull overs (caugh damstreetracing caugh) but i was lucky and the cops were cool. i think he should go with (drum roll)................AN F-BODY!!!!!

my friends first car is a 1998 mustang v6. its hilarious to talk with him b/c he thinks his car is so fast and it really sucks hard. especially since he sucks at manual. he doesnt understand that his car does 0-60 in like 10 seconds and always is trying to race everyone.

Man the 5.0's are slow ;) Better off with a real V8 Lt1 350 ;)

[GreenDragon]

Or better yet,a Civic [img]smile.gif[/img]

get him to get an el camino. then when you need to you can use him as your ***** to go get stuff from home depot. or better yet a ford rancharo!

Get the 5.0 or better yet, get a responsible car.

5.0 advantage - cheap to buy, cheap and easy to fix. Break as much as the older LT1's do anyway and they don't have that annoying optispark.
