Well gave away my RS and my Z28 is going into storage and I will be buying a new car.

Looking for a GTO, WS6, or a Silver/White with tan interior Camaro... has to be a T56. Know anyone let me know. Thanks everyone. I will still be around.

 

well i did a similar thing but im kepping my t/a so i can finish it and i just bought a 98 camaro white with tan interior its my daily driver my 3rdgen is now going to be done how i want it not how it would be done to still be able to be driven everyday and set up for best comfort and fuel mileage. now it will be the weekend cruiser only

 

white with tan interior droooool.

 

lol and a posi

 

I dont get it.

whats makes you want a 4th gen now? remember you dont like how all those 4th gens show up at meets? I swear everyone just drops a 3rd gen off the end of the earth and goes to 4th gens lol.

whatever makes ya happy i guess.

 

Because I dont have a choice. Got any other car choices for me in the 16,000 price range thats arnt dogs... didnt think so...

 

Wow Mike, why the sudden change?

Whatever you get, don't forget to bring it to a cruise one night. Temporarily, they will be at the Burger King on 543 at the Rt 1 bi-pass. I was there this past Friday night.

I hear possible replacement cruise venues are the Home Depot lot at Beards Hill in Aberdeen or the Target Lot in Abingdon, back where the Walmart and Regal Theater is.

 

im not forgeting my thirdgen i just needed a DD and that doesnt require high test and suck the tank dry in 2days or less!!! oh and also to alow me to finsh her!

 

Um stock i assume?

PLENTY of highly modified cars for 16k that can pretty much beat anything offered new, in a straight line of course.

 

w/ 16k, man i'd just spend 1k on a beater dd and the other 15k on the z. i didn't though, but i need a decent truck to tow so... anyway, you get a gas sipper to save extra $$$ while your finishing your z. and if you have 15k at your disposal........that can lead to lots of mods and lots of fun!! to each his own though!

 

I dont want highly modified because you loose reliablity...
----------
Also you guys think maybe after driving 5 third gens and working on them maybe I am sick of them? Maybe I need stop buying them and move up.


I am picking up a 99 Z28 M6 on Wed.

 

2004 GTO's are probably the best bang for the buck you can get right now. Still under warranty and have a very nice leather interior. If you shop around, you can probably pick one up with about 20K miles for 20g or less. I was looking at 02 SS's for around 16g. I then saw GTO's go for a few thousand more, so I did that instead.

How much did you get the 99 z28 for?

 

Well say that up front that your sick of third gens...**** Mike i just didnt understand your reasoning here. People dont just make sudden decisions like this and i wanna know whats up. Go ahead move up...hope your still around.

 

o man...got any spare third gen parts lying around
o well, fourth gens are ok, id rather have the t/a ram air though. i would have gotten like a mid 90s civic or corolla for a couple grand and saved the rest. to each his own, good luck with the 99.

 

What?

 

Well can't get that Z28 till sunday now...sucks waiting.

I really need to sell my Z28 still.

 

Well I know how ya feel. trust me. I have had a few thirds and you just get tired of constantly working on them every weekend(or every few days). My last one I had the motor/trans out 3 times in 6 months... that deffinately gets old.
I got it cause I wanted a nicer cruise car. It ended up being a real POS that was constantly getting on my nerves.
Now it is gone, and I truely doubt I will ever get another third... I might get a 4th but even that is doubtful. I am looking more and more into AWD platforms now.

 

GTO ;-)

I wanted a GTO but there about 6k out my price range right now.

 

if you decide to put some aftermarket parts on the 4th gen firechicken wait till you start working on it and you will miss that third gen. a firend of mine has a 4th gen and i hate working on it you cant get to anything. i remember you rpost about long tubes on 3rd gens huh wait till that idea comes up on that 4th gen good luck my friend. i will give you this atleast its not a mustang.

 

Im not working on it lol... I will probaly install the intake and short throw... and have a shop dyno tune it and do the full exhaust... and I am not doing anything else.

 

you will probably be very happy with it as is now but after you start its like anything else you will not wanna stop modifying it!!! lol

 

I promise I wont go past bolt ons.

 

Heres a pic. Not a very good one but its a pic.


O an I got it for 9100$

 

I've had both fourth gens and third gens in the past Although the fourth gens are nice and faster stock they are a bitch to work on with the engine set back that far. That reason alone is enough for me to stick with third gens. The LT1 is almost impossible to tune up, LS1 is better but still far back and diff to work on.
That being said I do love the feeling of a well tuned LT1 w/ 6speed cuz they do pull like hell.

 

Lookin good! How much mileage on it?

 

highs 80s

 

crrllmich thats realy nice i got my 98 for 5k with 65k on the clock its a v6 yes but i thought it was a hell of a deal. well good luck with it. i too will hope to have one as my next car to add to my collection

 

That's not a bad price for a '98 V6. Those 3.8L fourth gens are quick cars. Also, that's a great engine for reliability. They held their value better than the older v6s because of that. My brother had a '97 automatic with just an aftermarket exhaust he ran low 15s with best time of 15.1 which I thought was pretty good for a v6 auto.

 

its alright i dont care for the 112 speed limiter but its not like i go that fast on a regular basis but it saves gas and cheaper on insurance than a ls1 would be thats one thing that drew me to it so i could finish my 3rd gen. i do like the posi disc rear in it thats another big + that got my attention
