few cars

hey, what do ou all think of these cars. im plannnin to get one. im looking at mustang 5.0, ford probe gt 93 and up. mx-6 ls, tauras SHO, or bmw 3 series form the late 80's. im looking to get some decent performance out of them. loos really dont matter, cuz i plan to make them look clean. i would say 5.0 no porblem, only problem is im looking down more into the 1500 range.

Re: few cars

The only thing I could think of for SHO performance is www.shoshop.com

I'm sure there's more out there. I'm gonna say 5.0 though, so much more power, and it's engine is a little bit easier to find than an SHO motor (if you need to replace it).

Re: few cars

The reason I placed the SHO dead last is because almost every single review for it on Edmunds said that it had tons of problems, especially after 100K. Parts for it are also supposedly very hard to find.

ive owned a 91 mx6 ls manual tranny, and it was extremely reliable and pretty peppie. it had 252,xxxmls. on it before the clutch went out. i bought a new clutch and its still running fine.
my freind has a 94 probe v6 and i dont know about relibilty. but it seemed very torquey! its alot faster! not sure if its faster than the 5.0 but it might be.
