I agree. These cars can perform at a supercar level and can be had for low teens these days. Fbodies are cheaper, but the LS6 powered Z06 is a bottom 12/high 11 second car out of the box that handles with the likes of Porsche and Ferrari. Not the cheapest, but I feel the bang for the buck is incredible. They say insurance is also cheaper.

Back a few years when a nice reasonble-mile Fox 5.0 could be had for $3K, I'd tend to dissagree. Now that a clean Fox is $5K+, it is crazy to not buy a LS1 unless you are a die-hard Ford guy.
I've owned two Fox GTs, so I can speak from experience.

LS1 F-Body = 340ish HP factory, decent handling factory, good braking factory, modern amenities and still doesn't look dated. Plus the aftermarket is ridiculously huge, so the sky is the limit for performance. All for under $10K? Nothing else is close...

It seems to be becoming pretty popular what about the fox body mustangs with lq4 and such swaps. Plus all the other parts for the car are cheap because they were so damn popular

Even with the 7.5 10-bolt, I think LS1 F-bodys are currently the best performance bargain out there. C5s aren't that far behind if the initial buy-in price is less of a factor.
