Ford Mustang or Pontiac Trans Am

[QUOTE="GTA_dude"][QUOTE="Anti-Venom"]for GTA_Dude: Im talking about brand new, screw used and abused...Anti-Venom

[QUOTE="Anti-Venom"][QUOTE="GTA_dude"] They are discontinuing the S2000, so no point in buying a bran new one new, if its the last model....it'll just depreciate and be a waste of money, especially if there were no big design changes in the past couple years....GTA_dude

well your sarcasm is about as terrible as this...

Aw dude. I was going to agree with you then, but did you actually say mods?

Either buy a good car to start with or make do with what you have. Customisation is lame.

[QUOTE="footballa27"][QUOTE="Anti-Venom"] ok.....if thats terribleAnti-Venom

[QUOTE="smokingsbad"][QUOTE="Anti-Venom"] Many people would disagree with that....including myself...footballa27

The right work and a v4 can out run a v8 and vise versa. So, with that in mind....who cares?

If I were to pick between the Mustang and the Trans Am....well, I just don't like Pontiac and the last few vehicles I owned were Ford (got my mom's old car back in 96' - 1989 Ford Tempo and then bought in 2000 a 1995 Ford Ranger XTL) and I really enjoyed the fact that they were very easy to work on. Everything was accessable without too much hassle.

Ford has always impressed me with that aspect. Unlike my new car that's a pain in the rear to do work on because everything is so damn cramped, but I still love it - 2005 Mazda 3 hatch in Lava Orange.

My 3 sits so low that I can't even get my hydraulic jack under it....waste of $120. At least I got some use out of that jack when I still had my Ranger. Oh well, such is life.

My vote is for the Mustang, even though I don't really like them. I'd much rather be in a Mustang then I would a Trans Am.

[QUOTE="Anti-Venom"][QUOTE="footballa27"] that's why there are review systems, view some budfootballa27

your comments on the S2000 are exaggeratedAnti-Venom

Trans AM all the way. How could you say no to this?

The other great thing about these cars is they have a cool digital dashboards and many things can be customized.

[QUOTE="footballa27"][QUOTE="Anti-Venom"]How about a Honda S2000?Anti-Venom

HAHA!!!!!

My 08 Mustang GT with about 5k in mods will smoke that car and 99% of all other import cars on the market hands down! Buy American Muscle!!!!

I love bugging all the ricers out and about in my Mustang, there's nothing better then letting those owners hear what a V8 sounds like with a good exhaust tone rather then their 4 cyl fart cans!

And a chip upgrade will put me even with the S2000, at 150 ft.lbs.....

And Mustang/Firebird GT coupes are far more convenient commuter cars than a sports roadster.Anti-Venom

An S2000 only has 150 ft.lbs at 7500 (Although I'm sure you have to be wrong about the rpms)? Wow, thats not that much higher then my car, at 133 ft.lbs at 4300 rpm....

I wouldn't get either and here is why: both are extremely unreliable, both handle like a brick on wheels, and both lack many nice features that other cars at their price point have. I know you don't want to hear this, but American cars are ****, all of them. With 20k I could think of at least 10 different cars you could buy that you'd be way more satisfied with and could also outperform and outlast either of your current choices. Here are a few others you might want to consider. . .

Honda S2000

Mazdaspeed 6

Honda Accord V6

Subaru Impreza STI

Mitsubishi EVO

Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4

Audi S4 or S6

BMW M3

Infinite G35

Nissan 350Z

Mazda RX7

Mazda RX8

Acura NSX(older model)

Toyota Supra

Mercedez AMG C-class

[QUOTE="Anti-Venom"]yea well...thats your opinionfoxhound_fox

I had an 89 Trans AM GTA...man did I love that car. Cherry red and had t-tops, and was really fast.

Anyways, used to love smoking all those kids with the rice rockets :D Although this was years and years ago before the whole "tuner" thing got really popular and people started putting serious money into them.

[QUOTE="smokingsbad"][QUOTE="Anti-Venom"] Many people would disagree with that....including myself...footballa27

Honda are not crappy, their engineering is pure genius, they made ABS braking for motorcycles..

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"][QUOTE="Anti-Venom"]yea well...thats your opinionFUBAR24

Hmm yes that's true, I always judge vehicles on the track.
I remember seeing a video where it was a Lamborghini Gallardo vs Ducati 1098 on the track, it was very good. I think it made the guy in the Lambo try really at winning on the track because he don't wanna get beat by a bike. I was just wondering, do people try harder on the track if they're against a bike? Just one of those thoughts.
