what year and model to buy?

Do I dare buck the trend and tell you to buy a speed density car? Regardless get a 5spd car.

In stock form a speed density car will show an MAF car tailights, and about 2-3 car lengths in the quarter. Modded properly, you can get them into the low 12's with traction for less money than an MAF car. They are harder to get "right" though.

MAF is newer, you'll probably find a better car, in better shape after 1989. Personally, if I was looking GT or LX, I'd go 1991-1992. Upgraded fenderwells, upgraded wheels and tires.

For mods:
Hi flow H pipe
2.5" exhaust
Cold air induction
76-77mm MAF sensor (if you go this route)
65mm T/B
TFS Track Heat Intake
24lb/hr injectors
B303 cam
1.7:1 roller rockers
TFS Twisted Wedge heads
1 5/8" long tube headers
3.55 rear gears
3 core radiator
electic fans
underdrive pullies
G3 alternator
custom chip
upper/lower control arms
drag radials

Cheaper alternative
Sub Explorer intake for Track Heat
Twisted Wedge for GT-40p heads
with p heads - long tubes, have to get MAC GT-40p headers

Savings $700
HP loss 75
