what about an 89 mustang, camaro, firebird, corvet, bronco, low rider truck, supra or rx7. there are lot you can do to an 89 car or truck. i know 87-93 mustangs that are sold for around 13,000. it all depends on the eye of the beholder. to each his own. thast the point he has trying to get accross through like 4 posts. and just cause teh car is newer, dosent mean its going to last long. i know there have abeen a few predictions that the newer cars arent going to last as long as the 80's ones. my car is 16 years old, and could prolly chew you up on the strip, do you think your car will be able to run that good when it is 16 years old. ok so you new car has a warinty. what do you do when the warinty is gone, and you just dumped a whole lot of money into moding it. you could buy a newer car, but then you are loosing a lot of money. and have to start from scratch again. the problem with the new cars is that they are using lighter weight material that isnt as strong. also the new engins are based off the nascar engins. yeah they have a lot of power at first, and have a high rpm, but they dont last long at all. they are always having to replace engins. one of the reasons why it is like that is because the stroke of the piston in the block is veary short. so when you take it to the higher rpm's there is a lot more movement which in turn creats more friction, which creats heat. hot spots are not a good thing. it causes things to bend and brake. so have fun with your newer cars now, cause chances are there going to be a real bitch in the future. like when they are 16 years old
