Hey everone, im 15 and i plan on getting a mach1 next year there are to many tuner cars in my town, They think they are so cool, god i feel like i am in japan. Mustang Pride:D

How are you going to affor one of them at you age?

Nothing against being young, I just remember my first car was a 15 year old beater, and I could barely afford that.

Well i have about 15,000 in the bank from saved up funds.Hope to have a lot more in a year,I think i will have enough for a used 03-04,Me of all people i wont beat on it.Will have no car if it breaks,:(

Just remember just cause you can afford the car doesn't mean you can afford the maintaince. Insurance alone will kill you. 16+Mach 1= $$$$$ for insurance companies. Also gas (a V8 isn't cheap on gas) and the other fees you have to pay. Well I don't mean to smash you. Good luck on the mach. And welcome to the forums, Have fun.

Ya hope to keep it in tip top shape, Hopefully my parent will put the car under there name and will help me with insurance but im gunna work really hard to make some money to put into it ill probley have to find a 2003 a 04 is to much,


*Only Girls drive v6s*:D lol there are some sweet v6s though!

Take ur pick ;) i found these on eBay 4 ya their r prob. more colors

Sweet Thanks alot 99gt , i still dont no what color to pick the black on black is nice but its not noticble. What would u pick?

yeah black is ok, but what i hate about black is that gets dirty so quickly. it looks the best when its washed and waxed but the uglyest when dirty[:'(] i would get a car that wouldnt show the dirt too much ;)

Ya your right about that, But black looks sweet on a Mustang,(like yours)The silver is nice but its hard to find in a automatic, Yellow stands out to much,
Which color would you get?
HELP~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when do u plan on buying ur stang? in 06? I think all Mach 1s r stick shift. why do u want auto anyway? red w/ tint isnt that bad unless u think it is kinda girly :D Ya c Mach 1s have very bright colors. no grays, silvers, etc. Just really bright colors. the pics i posted r nt the only colors avaible either ;)

Ya see i live in NewYork, long island, and there are so many lights and traffic it would be a pain shifting everytime and the mach1 come auto its an option but on the cobras its alll manual.Ya red is nice but its gunna be high insurance cause its red. I was thinking either the white or blue there are really no other good colors or there hard to find in manual.

Yellow is my favorite color, but you gata love the azure blue.

They have automatic mach1s, but I think they came standard with manuals... so it'll probably be hard to get an auto unless someone ordered it that way.

I think the only stang that doesn't have auto as an option is obviously the cobra.

Maybe I'm wrong though, I dunno.

In the sunny state of Florida, the color of your car no longer applies for insurance rates.
I have a red car. V8 95 GT. I'm only 22... and my insurance is only $175 / month.

Only $25 higher than when I had a piece of **** Toyota Corolla (first car)..
Not to mention I'm also on my own insurance plan now... which normally makes it higher, but it's still affordable.


Oh, and welcome to the forum!
Glad there's other young kids here too :D

Ya your lucky, but im preety postive that insurance is a couple hundred or more for a red sports car in Newyork, I live on long island and ever since 9/11 alot of the city people moved out here, And its really over populated its light after light and the traffic on the parkway is crazy the cars dont move. Manual is nice and everthing but i think it will be a pain in the @ss. There is hardly anywere to go fast[sm=smiley24.gif]

[sm=wtf.gif] r u sayin that im not COOL [sm=icon_rock.gif][sm=icon_rock.gif] J/K ...J/K :D LOL

that svcks. if u cant go fast then why r u getting a mach 1? I know one thing for sure that if i didnt get a stick shift i would have sold my stang already. a mustang w/ 300 hp is a lot more fun to drive w/ stick and power in demand. trust me.

lol not you DVS your the COOLEST, lol

Ya well i wanted the car because when i get older i wanna hook it up preety good, i was thinking about getting manual but the thing is im not to good at using it i mean i no how to, but not that good. The cars at drivers ed are all automatics and my parents have all autos also, So i have noway to train, Unless i rent a manual car first?

yeah i know what ur sayin but my stang is the first car i ever drove using stick shift. I remember last winter when i was lookin at buyin a stang i was so iffy about buying stick cuz i dont know how to drive stick[&:] it just so happened that i got a great deal on a stick shift and couldnt pass it up. and now i am so happy that i got stick cuz they r so much more fun to drive plus a lot faster. I wouldnt not buy a stang just b/c its stick. if its other reasons like u said traffic ok, but yll learn to drive it good. its not that hard;)

Ya my dad told me the same thing, Its preety easy, i guess i should just look for what ever is a good deal i guess then. But the truth is, Next year probley i think i would be able to get a better deal on a auto because everone is looking for a manual, Thats the only reason i thought auto first,Besides the fact that the traffic is horrible here.

The Power is the same between auto- manual?

NO. ya see in order for the automatic tranny to work power needs to be give to the tranny box so it can shift gears, therefore power is taken from the engine to do so. w/ manual tranny ur doing the work of shifting gears so the engine can put more power too the wheels. u dont loose that much hp u do loose a good amount;)

Plus with auto their is only 4 spds w/ manunal there are 5 spds

with manual u get to shift at red line w/ auto it shift b4 red line (so it can give u better gas milage) there4 you dont get the most out of every gear. U cant have good gas milage and performace at the same time. so ford cuts it in the middle

Auto weighs a lot more than manual which can slow u down

Ahh i see thanks alot DVS, i didnt no that, So really manual is better and faster, You have manual do you ever get tired of shifting all the time,

only if i have to sit in traffic a lot more than 15-20mins. other than that i love to shift esp. w/ a V8. if u were gettin the v6 then it really wouldnt matter, but w/ a v8 i couldnt imagine not having a manual thats just me. However if u think ur goin to be sitting in traffic everyday for long periods of time then u might want to consider an auto.[&:]
