| saying goodbye to my first car it is going to be tough because i have a lot of time, money, and fun into my car. it has been a blast but when a cavalier beat me on the highway i said that's enough. i am upgrading to this, although it will never have the looks of a 3rd gen, it is close. http://hartford.craigslist.org/car/729587044.html |

JUST so everyone knows, i am not selling it because i got beat. i just said that, but that is not the reason. i mainly want a manual. also, i thought i'd try the newer style. |

nothing wrong with an LT1 either, but you're already at a disadvantage compared to an LSX when it comes time to mod.

Car: 1983 Z28 White/T-tops Engine: LG4 5.0 | Re: saying goodbye to my first car I can't hate on you for wanting to go faster but your 3rd gen is nice (exept the hood IMHO). Hey at least you're gonna get another Camaro so its ok.
Hell in the end as long as you're happy with it, it's all that matters.
Still, hope there was a way you could both. Good luck with the SS.

Car: 1989 Iroc-Z Engine: 350TPI swap Transmission: WCT5 Axle/Gears: 3.08 | Re: saying goodbye to my first car first off i suggest keeping the 3rd.
second, if you want a 4th, that one is way overpriced. At least in my eyes. I see good LS1 cars for only $500 - $1000 more around here  |

| Re: saying goodbye to my first car it is as underpriced as a 4th gen can get. it is a 1 of 2499 made ss. 1st year of the ss in 24 years. it has the even rarer option of factory slp exhaust. it's got leather, t tops, power everything, etc. the average book value for it is 11,500.
but i agree, overpriced.

Car: 87 GTA Engine: L98 Transmission: 700R4 Axle/Gears: Dana M78 3.27 posi | Re: saying goodbye to my first car IMO, just get a LT1/T56 & put those in your 3rd gen. 4th gens have power, stock, but traded in styling/looks for the extra power.
Pretty simple swap. WAY wasier than a LS1 swap. |

You have the $6000 to buy the SS, but not the $2000 for a LT1/T56?
Yeah....You can sell your car...You gonna get $6000 for it? No. |

| Re: saying goodbye to my first car here you go http://nashville.craigslist.org/car/732359485.html buy this and get a new motor and trans and save $2500 there are good deals out there.
And what the hell man your car is sweet i love the hood (i wouldnt put it on my car cause of the way it looks straight on) you have obviously put a lot of time and money into your car, just dont race anybody for a little bit save and get a 6 speed

Car: 88 IROC Engine: LB9 Transmission: T-5 Axle/Gears: 9 bolt 3.45 | Re: saying goodbye to my first car I agree with everyone, and Stephen. Your 3rd gen looks much nicer and you're not going to get $6,000 out of it, so with the difference you'd have to pay for the SS, you could do the LT1/T56 swap. Better decision, IMHO. It's up to you though. |
