Starting to Plan Ahead

[firemandan1700]

Alrighty so I have finiancially planned myself through july/august of this year. Well of course when you plan something nothing usually goes to plan anyways. lol

I wanted opinions on what I should do. If come july/august if I should invest into a 98-02 LS1 camaro or trans am, or save through next spring and buy a 98-02 vette.

Of course I would love a vette but, its cheaper to go faster in a camaro or t/a.

If I buy this year I do not want to spend more than 8k, but im not opposed upto 10k.

I would like to make this car a nice day/weekend warrior. I would like to beef it up for the track as well.


Im looking at all options and I am not opposed to any opinions.
If there is a better or different car I should buy, speak up!

you know my thoughts, manual c5 vette, heck might even be able to get an early c5z06

Do what is gonna make you happy.......Cant go wrong with a vette.....I love them, just dont want to pay for one Ill just ride shotty in a fast one

What do you truely want out of it......straight drag race road kind or fast with class?

F-body.

Id say F-body for cheap fast HP.

Well obviously I wanna go fast lol. All three cars are nice. The vette is a bit pricey, but... They are niceee. I do like the idea of cheap fast hp. Handling is optional. Although a smooth riding car would be acceptable

Take what you save and wait til about this time next yr and pick up a 05 C6 and payments on it would be cheap.....can be had for high 20's low 30's now....

of course im gonna say c5 ..u can get a 01 z06 with the 385hp LS6..but theres a good amount that have the oil burning issue which u would have to re-ring its a hit or miss issue..u can get a 02 z06 with 405hp for low 20s also just gotta find what u want..

a car is a liability not an investment...

aren't any c5 vettes, even non-z06, going to run more than 10k? i didn't think any were that cheap, esp z06. i am looking for a tracky/weekend car now too, although it is race track not drag strip. e36 m3s are well within that price range though.

 

[firemandan1700]

I'm also not apposed to a g8 gt either

and I know cars are not an investment lol

I never really thought about getting a non-z vette... Could that be a good choice too?
