Default Fox body questions

obviously I don't have a Mustang...yet. I've always loved the fox body Mustangs though, and if I decide to sell my car, I'd probably end up getting an early '90's Mustang. I won't sell the del Sol unless I get around $7K for it, so I'd probably put all that into the Mustang. I'd like be able to hit mid 13's and handle well. any help in any of these departments would be awesome since I'm a Honda guy.

You being a Honda guy...you probably like your streetracing driving styles and all that mess. I can honestly tell you right now that if you get a fox...you're not going to be happy. Not that they dont handle well or anything like that...because they do. It's going to be one hell of a change going from that car to a fox. The first time I drove my fox after trading my old civic for it I thought something was seriously wrong with the steering/suspension. You'll understand. But yea dude get rid of that ricer and get the fox!

I see LX notches with S/C, clean, and everything for 7k, you should just search for a good notch, if you want a h/b then you only need to spend 3k on the car itself to get one, then 4k in mods. Really simple with 7k.
