Default New here. Hoping to learn

Hey guys, just wanted to say hello, and thanks for having me.

I'm joined because I'm looking to purchase another mustang. I don't currently own one, but my first car was a '94 v-6 and then I graduated to a '95 cobra. they have always remained my favorite cars, I joined here with the hopes of finding a new vehicle in the classifieds section, or at least running the specs on any car I may purchase past you guys...the experts. As my screen name suggests I don't know much about the mechanics behind what makes these cars so great, I just know I LOVE them. If anyone has a good idea for where to turn it'd be great. I'm looking to spend around 10K with performance being the key motivating factor behind my purchase.

Well, thank you very much guys, imma keep looking for a built up mustang on this forum as well as any other classified section I can find. If anyone has some idea's for a good classifieds site for a built mustang, I'd appreciate it. I wish I could search craigslist on a nationwide level.

Well, like the thread title says, I'm looking to learn some things while I'm here so...first question:

I am looking at a few cars on autotrader.com right now, and when people start throwing around at the stats and figures of the performance parts that are on the car, it's like reading a foreign language to be quite honest. DAUNTING! But, I'm a blue collar guy and I work as a machinist just outside of Detroit, so I really ought to start learning some of these things. If anyone would be kind enough to go through a couple cars all priced the same and tell me if they are all near the same value or if one of them is crazy on his asking price. They all seem very similar to me, but that's not saying much. So, here are links to three different cars I'm looking at purchasing right now.
