anything would be better than a civic as a fun project...


Why do you say that? Are civics generally not fun/stressful to work with?

ofc a mustang/camaro/trans am is a good cheap base as they all come with v8s, but if you want something different you could go for a lincoln mark VIII lsc(4.6 32v) or lincoln mark VII (same as fox body mustang)
buy a buick regal with a 3800sc, slap a pulley/headers enjoy smoking all the other chars i posted

Out of curiosity: If Lincolns are such nice cards to mod, why are supras and the like so mainstream and common?
I guess my question is, why don't you come across Lincolns more often?

If you find that, much <3 will be given.
Any ideas on search terms? I'll start looking as well.

For the price of a civic, wouldn't a supra be a nicer/easier choice?



Car only please, forgot to mention that :(
