I currently own a 2003 Evo 8 that runs low 12's. Which isn't bad for a 4 cylinder but I'm wanting a 2 door car now. So I started looking at Camaros, Fire Birds, and Mustangs. I just can't decide what to go with. I'm pretty handy with cars but I know nothing about v8's.

I want a car that handels well and is good for mainly street and a few trips to the track.

Any input would be appreciated.

Also How does the camaro motor stand up to be turbo'd

 

there is no replacment for displacement. the motto to live by. the camaro and firebirds are better forget the rustang. v8s are alot easier to work on ESPECIALLY a chevy. neways go through the forums and look at some stuff, itll help in ur discision. welcome

 

Welcome to the forum, either one of those will fit the bill for what you're looking for. The chevy V8's will stand a turbo in stock form, not to much psi, up to 6 I think. But the difficult part is fitting a turbo in the car. Not a prebuilt kit that I know of for one yet. There are some guys that I know of that started building some setups but none that went past the original. So would pretty much have to be a custom setup.

 

theres kits out there. the problem is the high compression. ur better off doing an NA build for the money

 

I'd look into the 03/04 Mustang Cobra, seems to fit the bill exactly as to what you want They're supercharged stock, and have forged factory internals. They can also be turbo'd quite easily...

 

Lots of aftermarket parts for the Mustang and the engines can handle the extra boost, it's the stock clutch & drive shaft that will let go first.
