f-body cars
well...i didnt know where to post this...so i guess its going here
my friend is in the market for his first car. hes been driving for a long time tho...his dad tought him to drive stick when he was eight years old (lucky asian kids and their no needs for lisences in china). so he knows what hes doing and you shouldnt be decieved when i say its his first car. his parents gave him a budget of 25k (lucky asian bastard) so he wanted to know of a reasonabally priced car that responds well to mods. after reading all the praise from md..the f-body cars were the first that came to mind. i know they respond well to mods...but thats about it. so heres what im asking
are there any years i should be looking for? any specific models? and whats a reasonable asking price for all of this? also...is there a better option for what he needs (wants i guess)? he said hes willing to spend the 25k on the car alone but would rather get a 10k car and put 10k to mods and save the last 5k for gas and/or insurance needs.

RE: f-body cars
Formula is the no bs no extra crap ready to hall *** car. No fancy body cladding, no ram air, the lightest they could get away with car
The SS is more so a suspension and gearing package over the Z28 so really it is a Z28 with xxxx, xxxx, and xxxx added to it.

Definatly the 2002 Trans Am WS6. Saw a buddys for the first time(he just has a 99 regular trans am with the ls1) at a sound competition over the summer, my God that car was sexy. he is running 11.97 with cams and basic bolt ons. I have a video around here somewhere of him running a civic with a turboed gsr swap. Fast and look a hell of alot better than alot of cars on the road.
