BustedS13 · 09-21-2009, 06:49 PM

i've been driving a CL for a couple years now as my daily, and i'm tired of it. it's about to roll over 100k, so i'm trying to sell it before that happens.
as for what i want to get for a daily.. i'm not dead-set, but i haven't had a daily 'vert in quite some time (my first car was a lolbaron, i own a '67 Galaxie but it's not a daily, and i had a '92 M30 'vert for a while), and with winter approaching, they're going to be loading up craigslist soon. i also haven't daily'd a manual since i daily drove the 240, and that's been years.

so anyway, i'm thinking 87-93 5.0 Mustang 'vert, stick, preferably LX model, but i could deal with a GT and its excess cladding. anybody have one/admire these cars? the fox is my second favorite generation of Mustang next to the first gen. my roommate has a lightly modded new edge GT, and it's a lot of fun to beat on, although he's constantly whining about fit and finish. but he's a pussy about that sort of thing, and the new edge really isn't the same as what i'd be getting into.
anybody have one of these hillbilly shoeboxes? i know i'm asking on the wrong forum because you're all track-star hipster californians with glass-smooth mountain passes so you need something that "can turn", but maybe, just maybe, somebody on here likes classic american fun.

get a fox you wont regret it.... and get yourself some gt40 heads and intake some gears, basic mods and youll be happy with the results. i sold all my 240s to get a fox...

and here is some inspiration for you...jba DOMINATOR fox....

JVD · 09-21-2009, 07:47 PM

^^^^UGH^^^^

WTF. How can you sell all of your 240S and end up with that?

And that widebody thing is fucking gross.

EDIT: Also, Busted... verts are pretty gay.

turboboost12004 · 09-21-2009, 07:53 PM

its a piece of american history so you know....its not called the dominator for nothing... my 240s were getting me no where, plus i needed real power so i got a v8....

ryguy · 09-21-2009, 07:54 PM

Cmon dude, a foxbody? At least get a pre-99 fourth gen. Still cheap to mod, and they look 100x better, a little like an S14.

Or you could just man up and get an F-body camaro.

*!Zar!* · 09-21-2009, 07:55 PM

I've NEVER called a foxbody a, "dominator". Honestly, those cars are shit and are only seen by fat dudes who think they are the hottest/fastest shit on the road.

Here is a widebody pic of another foxbody that you missed.

lol that mustang is called a dominator........and no..not all dudes driving around in foxes are white, some asian peeps i know are realizing how much money they are wasting tryig to get their 4cyl engine put out as much hp as a stock mustang does. you should try one....maybe youll like it...

meteorite_flo · 09-21-2009, 08:08 PM

Now sir, you are stereotyping.

I thought the Dominator was a trim level of the foxbody, like a step above a GT, and was limited edition. A foxbody is not automatically a Dominator.

My white trash neighbor has a foxbody.... ughhh. Don't do it Busted.

Uhhh... as much as a stock mustang? How much is that btw. I'm willing to bet like 200hp.

two points: first, the only generation of stang worse than the mid 90's one is the 70's one
second, yes, a 4th gen camaro is not out of the question

225hp/300tq in the fox.

lyrical struggle · 09-21-2009, 08:23 PM

fox bodies suspension sucks ass. It will take alot of money to get it "right" to make it a fun driving car other then going straight. New Edge are getting cheaper now adays and it may be a better buy with options available for it.

I have an 08 GT and i love it.

BustedS13 · 09-21-2009, 08:30 PM

i have no interest in "tracking" it. it'd be a daily driver/straight line fun car. and my roommate has a new ege. i find their styling excessive/uninspired.
the 05+ are nice looking, but out of my price range

SexPanda · 09-21-2009, 08:45 PM

Ok, this is what you do. 5.0 LX, ditch the 5.0, drop in a 5.7. Or, get the Mustang SVO with the 2.3 turbo. Those engines are damn near indestructable.

enough to piss off any redneck with a hardon for v8s, yet still sexy to those who are into bastard swaps and small powerful engines... like myself.

I love foxbody's though, I think they just epitomize everything about the 80s lol.

ESmorz · 09-21-2009, 08:46 PM

Or be straight awesome with the t-tops.

what the, that doesn't have t-tops.
but this does. FOX BALLIN'

SexPanda · 09-21-2009, 08:55 PM

Then get a fuckin SBC 350! Maybe even 400... Good engines, cheap, easy.

At least try to get a notchback. I don't dig the hatches. But I love foxbodies. I'd rock one no matter what the engine or body was as a daily.

No that exact one, but certain trims do.

DeathMetal · 09-21-2009, 08:58 PM

I seriously hate mustangs. I probably shouldn't say much considering but I have never liked their looks, their engines, the whole front-mount distributor thing, and I have never really liked the 5.0.

Maybe reconsider for an LS1 vehicle? Try and find an 01-02 Camaro, a Vette (if you can afford), or one of the LS1 firebirds?

Would be about the same gas mileage (kind of a general estimate) based on the mustangs size (small, semi-lightweight) vs. the LS1's efficiency (even in the heavier f-bodies and vettes...well...i dunno how much vettes weigh vs. mustangs but....i'm talking outta my ass.../facepalm ;p).

Just putting it out there honestly. Don't want any shit for it ;p

murda-c · 09-21-2009, 08:59 PM

I kinda want one too...dunno why

Cheesy Doriftos · 09-21-2009, 09:05 PM

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 09-21-2009, 09:10 PM

ack, mustangs. buy an f-body. camaro and trans am/firebird. yes! more t-tops than david hasselhoff chest hairs. serious.

vs.

why be a knight ricer (another case in point, the "dominator", lol) when you can be a knight rider?

SexPanda · 09-21-2009, 09:10 PM

^^wtf man... wtf.

new knight rider=epic fail. And it has nothing to do with the fact they used a ford. It just blew.
