Because you're young and drive a v-8 mustang doesnt mean you're gonna die. It depends on the person, I've had my car since I was 15, am now 21 and I've never been in one accident. You have to learn to respect the car though or it'll take you for a ride.
been there done that point is respect the mustang if you dont want to poop in your pants
ohh yea i will definetly respect the mustang there is no way i couldnt. i have been wanting one for a few years now that i am actually able to get one i wouldnt want to ruin it.
Actually the Corvette is a better car and more balanced made to handle and for speed in stock condition straight from factory.
Takes Mercedez over his knee and prepares the stick...
I paid less money for my Vette than I did for my Stang.
The Vette is definitely faster and handles MUCH better. BUT my Stang is way more reliable, practical, and comfortable (especially for a DD). I've also had a lot of problems with the Vette mostly electrical and a surging idle problem that wont go away. Also, the plastics used for the interior are cheap and crack VERY easily.
Mercedez did you say Corvette??!! ... eww how could you? pfftppffptpfffft and i was thinking you were so cool. /sigh
I just got back from the shop, put a new front left fender on my 5.0L..and no i didnt wreck it, just more previous owners "shnanigans" i had to fix.
but i love my 5.0
yea im sure its true, but the fact that vettes cost a ton of money and im just a teen i dont think i need a vette lol also i love ethe way mustang engines sound both the 5.0 and definetly the 4.6 they just sound better then other v8's to me i dont know why lol.
I don't think the age of the car necessarily reflects its value. Blue Book wise, an 85 Vette should be about equal (if not more) than a 92 Stang. In the end, I think I paid more for the Stang because Foxes are more popular than early C4s.
Tell me something I don't know. However, I think most of the electrical problems in the Vette have to do with the hack job wiring from the previous owner.
I'm sure the new vettes are superior in handling and ride quality but then again, they wouldn't be in the same price range as an 85 Vette or 92 Stang.
Maintenance and parts: Yes. Insurance: No. Insurance rates are based largely on the value of the car. Seeing as both cars have a similar value they should have similar rates. Throw in the fact 99% of Vette owners are driven by older people (50-60s) makes the insurance cheaper. I'm only 22 but I still pay less insurance on my Vette.
In my area its just as easy to find a Fox Body for sale as it is a C4 Vette (although finding a CLEAN fox is a different story).
In general, the C4 (84-91) is not a very popular car. I have yet to see anyone remotely in the same age range as me driving a C4. The aftermarket support is also very poor for the early C4s so it is not really popular among tuners as well. Pretty much the only people in the market for these cars are older retirees looking for a cheap fun car.
As for the fox, I think it is slowly becoming a classic and even though they are still relatively dirt cheap, the value of these cars bottomed out years ago and is SLOWLY increasing. This is pretty much due to the fact that Foxes had a very large impact among the public during the 80s and early 90s. Many people (including myself) remember these cars at an early age.
As for an 88 GT, I don't see anything about it that would make it harder to find than other year GTs unless you're talking about an '88 T-Top. If you're looking for a Fox I would suggest extending your search to the LA area. There are plenty of Foxes for sale here.
