Default Thinking About Buying this... (VIDEO)

I know it's an F-Body, but it looks sweet, and an LS1. I'll keep the Stang too

What do you think this cars worth in this condition?

WS-6 T/A is one sweet car.

Before buying my 05 GT i was looking at a 2002 Firehawk.

Was in great condition, but the dealer wanted a crack smoking deal of $31k (cad) for it
hardly worth it as i knew the previous owner who sold it for only $23K.

I love my Stang, but deep down i wish i had a small block 5.7L.

I say buy both!

Too funny. I was looking at the Trans Am's on ebay today and saw this one as well. My girlfriend is wanting one. I found one and placed a bid and was considering bidding on this one as well.

This is a sweet ride!

I know the feeling of wanting a 5.7L.

I have an '89 5.0 LX that I ordered new and then I purchased used '94 z/28 5.7L in 2000.

So then the other day the wife and I go out and purchase an '06 Torch Red GT.

Each car is very unique in the way they drive, and a blast.

"Hmm, what shall I drive today??"

l own 5.7 small blcok chevy LT1 and l own 4.6 SOHC ford.. they are both great engines.. but l can make LT1 damn fast (450rwhp) with just 2 grand! but 4.6 you gotta get blower or these cars cant go faster..

l love my mustang but l will love f-bodies always a lot more than mustangs.. l just love f-bodies.. l think they are VERY respectable cars.. and still faster than new stang GTs..

if that car goes more than 10k DO NOT BUY IT! before l bought my stang, l have looked for an LS1 3 months and l know you get get a good deal on an LS1 around 12k less than 50k miles!

that depends on where you are. That car would cost you at least $15K here in Toronto.....which would translate to somewhere around $13K USD.

Gotta figure though that in another year of driving you'll be approaching or exceeding 100,000 miles. I'd check to see if it was ever in an accident and sat around for awhile being repaired-once these get in the front they are never the same. They are very fast right out of box though mid to low 13's stock. It's going to have some wear and tear in another year, especially if it hasnt been meticulously maintained. Not as practical as a new mustang gt .

Ugliest car i have ever seen, yes respectable engine, but you can never out run ugly! Put the money into your stang, or get a 2004 Cobra Special Edition forget ugly.-just my opinion
