that looks like your standard Street Brawler Red GT 
There is a guy that works for USA(NASA sub) that has a car just like that.

I want a car that's in good condition when I buy it, but I do want to work on it.
As for deciding between AutoXing and Drag Racing, I'm still working on that. The list of cars there I feel are one's that could handle both fairly easily (I know the SVO can do both, at least). Just trying to get a feel for what's out there and what I can do.

The reason I asked about 1/4 or AutoX is the suspension setup.
I know I can adjust my shocks for 1/4 just by making front real soft and rear real tight (no wheel hop) so the weight will transfer better.
Then stiffin up the front and loosen the rear for AutoX.
I asked about the turnkey because so many people usually tear the whole car down and redo it including the engine.
Why not get one that need work and save a couple of thou.
I am one of the stupid ones
I pay a fortune for a car then drop another fortune into it.
I had a $900 TurboII and sold it and bought this one for over 7K.
Then dumped a but load of money into it improving it.
Should have done up the $900 car it would have been faster too.
Good luck on your choices. You can still take mine for a spin although its de-tuned right now. I 'll explain my headaches at the AutoX. Nothing ever comes together as planned. I am waiting till after the AutoX to finish my engine upgrades.
BTW - I think I said this already but both cars will be there.

Thanks for all the info, man. See, I'm not too mechanically inclined, so I wouldn't want to buy a something that needs a lot of fixing up, otherwise I'll loose inspiration real fast. I suppose for as long as the engine runs good, I'd be happy. Otherwise, whatever I get, I'm gutting the interior, and replacing everything necessary with lightweight componants. But I got a while to decide.

Have you thought about a fox body? Like a GT/Hatchback/Coupe? Just something else to keep in mind.
My first choice is an SVO. Just trying to make some backups, in case I can't find one when I need it.
Off-topic? How dare you post something off topic in the Melbourne area stangs thread?
No, I've heard nothing. Then agian, I haven't watched the news all day.

I dont know how old you guys are but do you remember William Cruise??? Killed I think 5 cops and a bunch of civillians on a shooting spree in Palm Bay.
I think I might know what you're talking about, but I think it happened before my time (only 18, ya know.) Was it at a Win-Dixie or something?
Hey guys, remember that idea that we had a couple of months ago, about making a club, but we killed it off? I think we should go back and reconsider doing it again. I mean, baglock1 is starting to make a name for himself at Palm Bay, and once I get a autoX specific car, one that I won't baby, I should start doing well, too (I hope). We do also make up a fair amount of the cars out there. I think its still a cool idea. Anyone else support me on this one?
Yeah, me and a friend went to see a movie in Melbourne and I noticed helicopters in the air and found it unusual(since I wasn't at home, it'd be normal), then I noticed a higher amount of cop cars(once again, normal at my house), then when I got home I found out that some guy was shot and killed behind a Gateway Country(where my friend used to work).
yeah i remember that psycho! im only 19 now but at the time i was in preschool and i still remember not being able to go. and my mom also worked in the same shopping plaza as a travel agent! so she didnt get to go to work that day! he was definatley a loose cannon!!!!!!
yeah thats cool if we want to try and start this again! i was looking at work today and i can get 2 turbos for under 1100 dollars!
maybe its time for a twin turbo setup on the little 4 banger!!!! nothing better then the ultimate sleeper car!!!!
Can anyone think of a good name? Maybe not a club, but something Racing. Maybe, Calvary Racing? (horse theme) I dunno, maybe something like that would be cool. Any other ideas?
