Need opinions:fix my 98 TA or a 91 LS1 Mustang
Need opinions:fix my 98 TA or a 91 LS1 Mustang I would like some opinions on a dilema I have. I have a 98 Trans Am and a 91 Mustang LX hatchback. I'm stuck on which one to put back together. Both cars are in nice shape. I have a 6.0 that i'm building and have got a built 4L60E that has the best of eveything in it that will be going into either car. The thing is, I build some control arms, subframe connectors, and some other chassis stuff on the side. Whichever car I build will be a showcase for some of my parts. I build parts for both cars. I've always messed with the Fbodies and my cousin and our friends mess with the Mustangs. I work at a fabrication shop, so that is how I came about building this stuff. The Mustang would be lighter, therefore faster, and has the cheapest and easiest rear end to build. Whichever car is built is also going to be sold afterwards. Give me some opinions as to which way to go. Thanks
Man I'm torn between the two and I don't even own them. I like both also, but I guess if I were to build something to sell, I would go with the T/A. If I were to build something to keep and take to the track, definately the Mustang. IDK man, good luck at whichever you decide.

Thanks for the opinions. I think i'm gonna build the Mustang. It can be faster and E.T.'s and MPH sell's parts. I also need to build an anti-roll bar for the Mustang, i've had quite a few people wanting one. The car is going to be streetable. It's not gonna be an all out race car. Not many want just a race car, but something they can drive and enjoy. But at around 3000lbs., between 450-500 rwhp, and a small shot of spray, i'm confident it will put out some very impressive numbers. And with an A4 should get decent gas mileage even though i'll probably go carbed. Since time and funds won't allow for both to be built right now, I may look for a Southern member or two with a Camaro or Trans Am to try out and test some parts and for some R&D work to. I'd like ta have a fast car but also a street car to test for wear, tear, and ride quality. Again THANKS for the opinions. I'll try and get some pics of the Mustang up soon. I'll probably also post in the Conversions and Hybrids forum too.
