Yeah, everything improves with time... I have never been a fan of the "boxey" looking cars. Most in the 80's.. with the exception of the TTA just didn't suit my style. Now over time, I did grow to like the Foxbody look.. but my interest now in those is only that they are a very light platform to do some good racing in.

To this day, the 4th gen ws6 is one of the baddest looking factory cars ever made. IMHO of course...
This is one of the baddest looking factory cars ever made, IMO Too bad it is FWD and a wimp...lol

I think a clean Mach looks just as good as my car and other 4th gens, sometimes better
This man speaks the truth!

I'd be just as happy if I had an 01 Sunset Orange SS with center mount exhaust. That and a Firehawk are still some of my favorite cars.

Gn's are still the only inexpensive car you could easly do very low 11's with without even taking the valve covers off of. lol. Just mount the M&H's, Pour in the blue gas and Horrify the mustangs.

Grand Nationals are inexpensive? I'd like to know where you are shopping. Anyone that has one for sale thinks the whole interior is crafted from 24k gold.

WS.6's are waaay better looking than the SS Camero. I like center exhaust too, but I'd take my Jeep with center exhaust over the Camero with the optional cme.

Cobro>any f-body. /end

Picked mine up for 8500 4 years ago. You can find them reasonably. Most people on Ebay and CL are absolutely nuts. I can pick up a good car on turbobuick.com for a pretty good price. Most have the reliability mods already done too.

They were stout cars for their time. On par with the LT1 F-body's they competed with.
