Any good high torque and high HP used vehicles? I like Pontiac gto, but they're out of my budget/price range.

I wouldn't buy an out of production vehicle for a daily driver that's supposed to be a budget car. Those are more hobby cars for people who like working on cars or have plenty of money.

How about a Mustang, Charger, Challenger, or Camaro?

High torque high HP cars are colloquially known as muscle cars btw.

I'm thinking of a mustang. I'll get one once I have a job. I contacted my job coach today,as I haven't heard from him since the 17th April. I dunno if he received my text, as it's raining today, but I'll email him on Thursday in case I dont hear back from him by then.

I get wanting a powerful car especially as a young person, had a BMW myself -- that absolutely killed me on maintenance which is the reason I don't recommend them, but it was a helluva fun car to drive.

But in case you want to consider utility, it's hard to beat crossovers. MPG of a car with the luggage capacity of a SUV. Higher up than cars too, being low to the ground kinda sucks. And some of the newer models are quite affordable. The bells and whistles of modern cars are fuckin nice. Collision detection / avoidance, lane detection, keyless entry are all very convienient. Older cars won't even have backup cameras, although that's easy to add after market.

I also think it's a huge perk if the car is sleepable, if you can completely stretch out and take a nap if need be. Although that's more useful for a guy bc of security issues, it gives you options to be able to skip a hotel room if need be.
