Default First car!

whats goin on guys, im sorta new here but not really. anyways im 16 and have been driving a camry for over a year and am gearing up to buy my own first car (yes with my money, not my parents' money) and have decided it'll either be a 03 gt, mach 1, or 05-06 gt, all with manual tranny's. my question is what do you think is best for me? ive driven power before and know what its like, have a clean record and straight A's =D im also wondering whats best for the long haul and what will hold up better. im open to all advice and criticism and am greatful for any replies, thanks! - Mig

Out of the three, go for the cleanest and lowest mileage your budget will allow for. You'll love any one of them, the Mach and the '05+ will be the best performers right out of the box.

Alright, and honestly I like the looks of all of them, but the mach 1 probably looks best, and the 2v gt sounds nicer than the 3v, but like you said, it all comes down to budget and id like to stay under 10k so a mach isnt really in the qiestion unless its a salvage title, which is a lot of risk. also as a side note, how much does a borla exhaust setup cost? I simply love the sound they make!

I think you meant z28, but, shop around, I bought My Magnaflo cat back street series, and fu---ng love it for $550.00, delivered I got lucky, axles backs will run anywhere from $299- 499, sometimes a little more-- Good luck

Okay, and I hear the names magnaflo and flow masters quite a bit. ill look into them, although my first priorities are a sound system and installing a remote start security system.
