I like the look of the FB but have to wonder if the coupe is near as heavy? been told the FB weights well past 4000 lbs. that's heavy!
price under $6000 I figure. be great to own the fastest and meanest but don't need that, just fun factor. who knows , I might just pick up a V6 car and putt around!???
The Coupes are generally lighter than the hatchbacks and GTs, but I'm sure it's not by much. I've owned an '87 DPS coupe that I put a lot of money into. I think it just depends on the style you prefer. The 87-92 5.0 motors had forged pistons and are darned near indestructible until you really push the limits of the block. I had a good friend that had a '91 GT, 2.95 T-5, basically a stock motor with a B-cam, 70MM throttle body and exhaust, 4.10s & 125 shot of nitrous. I personally saw him regularly run 12 teens on slicks, pulling the front wheels in 1st and 2nd gear. This car was driven to the track with A/C on. You can get a WELL built nice 87-93 for under $8K. I would avoid an AOD car, they just aren't as much fun, the AOD is weak in factory trim, and the 5.0 needs 5 or 6 gears, IMO.
