i say buy a 8-9k GT then once you learn the car, start modding.
when did you buy it? and also 57k miles doubt it was mint. harder and harder to find clean machs/cobras these days. only mach near us has 75,000 miles and asking $15k for it. used car market has changed man

about a year or so ago. no rock chips, no swirl marks or scratches in the black paint. ive owned 4 mustangs i have a little idea of what mint is. I could find you 3 mach 1's in great shape for 11-13k right now if you'd like

When I bought my old mach it was clean as could be with 42k miles and I got it for $11k. You can find a clean mach for $10-13k easily.

To the op I would personally look for a decent mileage clean mach 1 or if you don't care about mileage a higher mileage completely stock 03-04 cobra is possible to find for between $13-16k

Hey check it out. If you get a Mach1 (and we're talking the one from this millenium!) or an 03/4 Cobra, you'll be really happy. Just take your time and find one in good condition and probably have it checked over by a mechanic.

Don't waste your time "learning" on a V6. You can get a fantastic ride that you'll look back on for many years after you finally break it racing with your friends. But you'll have a great time up until you do

And don't get yourself killed. These cars are powerful and will kill you if you drive like a dummy.
