I like both, but I'm gonna go with the Mustang. Way more parts available, and you honestly just can't beat the sound of a Ford V8 engine.
 
Mustang for me. One of my favorite modern body styles. The reincorporation of the shaker hood scoop is also awesome.

Is that enough cars? :P
 
The answer is always Miata. Most of the other options seem to me like an expensive disaster waiting to happen, specially that Jaaaaaaaaaaag. I'd also feel tempted for the Mustang or the 300.

I almost didn't put the Miata in because I figured everyone would go for it, making it boring, but then I realized all the other cars have enough redeeming qualities for at least one person to choose them.

Pardon my boring-ness! Would I be less boring if I picked the 300ZX then? :D However, with three votes each for a different car I think you accomplished exactly what you wanted.
 
C4 Corvette, I love the looks of the facelifted C4 Corvettes very much.

oh, I just thought of a WYR:

GT3. Don't know why, just never liked RUF's. I hate to say it, but I think it was GT5 that made me not care for them. :lol:
 
I would take the Jag anytime. I just love those things so much I coundl't for a massive failiure. Other options would the 300ZX or the Porsche 928.

I'll go with the GT3. Never cared much for the RUF nor it isn't that name that would make me go "WOW!"

Budget Classics:

A few rules:

1. You may not modify these cars in any way, such as dropping in a Ford 302 or 460 or 351 etc. (this does not include maintenance)
2. You may not say "I'll have none of them" or anything of the sort. If you don't like the car selection, please skip this WYR.
3. This car must be your daily driver, no exceptions.
4. Assume that because you're looking for a budget classic car, you also have a tight budget for things like parts, gas, and insurance etc.
5. Have fun!(?)

I hope its a decent selection. :)👍
 
Damn you. I want the 280, The Mav, Firebird and Continental....WTF MAN

I'll go with the Maverick. Those 6 cylinders aren't too awful and sound close enough to a V8 for me I guess.
