get a GT, you can find a good one with a 5K budget. then save up for the GT4 bumper and hood, and ST205 swap. put your location in too so we know where you are. if you are in So Cal i can help with everything

You will find that a 7GC GT and a 6GC GT are pretty much equally slow. The 6GC is alot more reliable tho - the 5S-FE is one of the most reliable engines ever made. As mentioned before - if you plan to swap get a '94-95.
Just look for a nice clean one - should be no problem with your budget


im actually going to go see this car this friday. if it runs good i think ill get it.
