Well, thats a pretty broad question.
What are you looking for in your car?
What is your budget?
How long to you plan to keep this car for?

Sorry
Yeah as a teen i sometimes ask broad questions
well my budget is like $3,000 and under and i really want to get into drag racing but not sure how to start! i kinda want a classic just for the fact that my dad can help me work on them (56 thunderbird in the garage) but im not sure with the gas and price of parts if its worth it. looking to keep it for as long as it lasts!

why cant you damn 16 year olds decided for your self. I can understand looking for inspiration but all you have to do is: LURK MOAR!!!
But, anyway since your dad im guessing likes ford id get a notch. you can stil pick up a 5.0 for under 3k. G/L with that.

I could name a whole list of muscle cars....however, they are out of your price range. The chances of you getting a muscle car with 3K are very slim. I would say (this is MY opinion) go with a Honda civic.....you can buy them cheap and build them up VERY strong....now your probably thinking "Its a honda, fuck that!!!" well....yes, its a honda, but have you ever really looked at what they can do? I say go with a civic shell (one that has everything in it EXCEPT the engine and tranny) and do an engine swap. It would be kickshit if you could pick one up for 200 and spend the rest building it up.
