Default RE: HEY GUYS!!!! my 1st post!

Welcome to the forum! I'm glad to see someone else from the Bay on here. .. But anyway. In my opinion, just as others will say, get the Stang. I say this for two reasons: 1.) I'm pretty sure the Stang is the cheapest. Am I right? 2.) Even if the EVO is modded, I think its safe to say that the Mustang is still the fastest car out of the three. 436RWHP is NO JOKE! .. I know you had fun driving that after driving a less than 200HP Integra. Lol.

As far as a "professional" look, I think the Stang is all-purpose. You just couldn't go wrong with it. But I'd say the S200 probably captures the "professional" look more than the Stang and EVO. EVO's are fast cars, and I respect them. But when I hear the term "grocery getter", I picture an EVO in my mind. But they're still fast cars and handle real well.

All in all, I'd say the stang is your best bet. But is is Supercharged and I'm sure has taken some abuse. Also, you're pretty much maxed out with 436RWHP with stock internals. That's something to think about.

I dont know where your from, but out here in SoCal you see evos EVERYWHERE!! At the local dealership there are at least +9 evo mrs there and endless base evos. My best friend picked one up a few months back and just the other day had it broken in to.

I think that most people here will say Mustang... you are in the lion's den, so to speak.

Ford leaves a lot of leeway for owners to Mod their Mustangs, and parts are easy to find and install.

Best of all, which of the three cars will still be on the road 30 years from now as a collectible, and which ones will be in the junk yard rusting? I'd say the Mustang is the wise choice.

Oh and BTW EVOS ARE EXPENSIVE TO FIX OR UPGRADE!! My friend with the Evo got it back with just a f'd up bumper and broken tail light. STOCK FRONT BUMPER FROM DEALER= 500ish bucks!!! He had the JDM headlights but those are 800bucks for a pair, the USDM headlights are around 500!!! Ridiculous huh? Just thought that u would like to know that....id agree with everyone else on going with the terminator!!

Out of the choices you listed...definately the EVO MR or the S/C Mustang. S2000's are ****ing gay.
+1 you can make an evo f*** fast and the stangs would be fast and muscular, the s2000 screams GAY ALL OVER if you want a two seater get a 350z vert

yea man the fords are very good quality cars... you wont be dissapointed

But they arnt a ferrari or have build lines and tolerances like them so dont expect that - the japs build better cars - fit and finish - the americans build more durable cars with longer lives.. american cars take real abuse - japs cars - step on it for a week and your check engine is on - they both have theyre adavantages - but the mustang is gonna be faster cheaper and just is good in every other department for our purposes. the asian cars are too expensive to mod and unreliable once done so - I will never buy another forgien car and mod it and abuse it like i would my mustang

but the asians cars are safer too..

but if your talkin 05+ ford - there is no difference between jap and american build - other than the american is faster and can be abused with out much consequence

u cant be anymore right..my sentra had constant problems everytime i got on it...i personally think though american cars are made better than jap cars.
