Default What should I buy

Hey, my name is Mark, I live in PA and I'm new to the forums. I'm in the market for a mustang and I figure what better place to go to get some opinions, right? Anyway, I'm in the market for a mustang, I have some ideas on either a 79-93 fox type or the 99-04 sn95 type Mustang.

First, the 79-93 I would get one, redo the interior in black vinyl (like an oldschool muscle car), paint the body black, 15x8 magnum 500s, and maybe one of those new boss blocks from Ford. So basically having a modern take on a classic mustang.

For the 99-04, I'd basically do the same thing in terms of modern iteration of a classic, 17inch magnum 500s, heavily cammed motor, hurst shifter the whole 9.

What do you guys think I should do? Option A or option B? I wanna know what you guys think and what would be the better choice, The Car will not be a daily driver and will have really steep gears, basically a stoplight terror is what I want not an autocrosser or a 9 second drag car or any of that, just a decent performing street car with an oldschool vibe. Oh and just incase anyone brings this up, I'd buy oldschool but I'd be too paranoid it'd get boosted or messed with when I take it places.

This thread will start a flame war, but anway:

Fox bodies are much easier and cheaper to make faster, but they are much older, and IDK how hard it would be to find one in nice shape.

Now, for the sn95, are you looking at the non-PI or PI cars?

If you like that body style much more, I'd say go with the 99-04, otherwise, find a decent fox and build the crap out of it.

I say you go with option C. Get a "Terminator", 03-04 COBRA. Slap a KB supercharger with all the suporting goodies. Pull the IRS and go with a solid rear. Throw 100 shot of NOS at it. Then..........................................dest roy everything you want on the streets. Or, you could just go with option B.
