ahem. check sig.

 

Cool dude.
Sad to see her go, but sounds like she was pretty used up.
How much $ ?

 

$5200.

exactly what i need to build my monster thirdgen

 

Sweet,sad to see the 4th gen go?Did you buy the other iroc yet?

 

yeah a little sad. but oh well. you know i've looked EVERYWHERE and cant find one single 5-speed V8 thirdgen worth buying

 

What's your limit for the car itself?Camaro or t/a?

 

y u get rid of the 4th gen?

 

I got rid of it because with the money i got I can go much faster in a thirdgen. probably will hit low 12s but maybe i can save up for some n2o to hit 11s.

That depends steve. I'm either looking for a low miles 5-speed car that I can slap a heads/cam/intake on even if it's a 305. I'll just wait and build a 383 to put under there. Or I'm looking for a 5-speed car with a blown tranny or engine someone is selling cheap. The most I'll spend on a non-runner is maybe $800 bucks.

For a low miles car I'd spend up to $3500. I realize I won't get the sickest car out there but I'll get a nice one for that.

 

Have you checked autotrader?I have founf 3 of my cars from there.You could buy a sweet thirdgen for 3,500.I'll keep an eye out.

 

yeah i was lookin at autotrader, everyone wanted too much.

I emailed a guy though with an 83 with a new crate motor 350 with a t-5. With the 1500 or so I have after i buy that I can do heads/cam/intake and sell the parts I take off.

I thought you were asking about the Republican ranting on your sig. No one wants to see that on a car forum.

Sorry to hear about the girl (I forgot her name). I saw this car in San Mateo the other day and snapped this for her (and you). Very nice example of a 25th..

My advice about the next car is that you should strictly define what it is that you want (and are willing to pay) and then know the ranges from there higher or lower.

It will come.

 

'Cuz they suck.

~ducks and runs~

 

lol. well i had mine for 4 months and its been on jackstands for almost a month

 

Sorry guys... I've tasted many Ferzziwigs tonight and am bored:

Clone GTA - $2250 - Needs a tranny, you can give the engine to me. How far away is mine from a 'clone'?



Sounds like a pissed off girl. Don't call this one. Well, at your age? Maybe a long shot. Wait a minute. this girl IS mad. Notice the caps?

Actually you are right... . there are not many good examples for sale in the Bay Area. I know a certain Firebird on the peninsula that the price just went up on.

 

I know how you feel but your car is a night stalker. It's everything I want in a 4th gen. If Del's car was a stick, it would be ideal and third gen. In the meantime, the convertible will do for me.

Grass is always greener, eh?

 

About time you sold that POS

 

Pretty! I want another one someday.

Yeah im very strict about what I'm going to buy. I won't just buy the first thing I come across.

 

Let me know if you'd like to look at my '91RS. Minus engine and tranny $500

 

It has an edelbrock intake and a comp cam.

 

Yeah, but im using vortecs

See you tommorow mike!

 

here's some of my favorite pics of my ex

 

I still have the drivetrain in the car so you can take her for a spin to see how it handles.

 

Nah mike thats okay, I'm looking at two cars tonight and hopefully (the other) mike's car tommorow. They're all 5.7L 5-speed cars. I think I'm going to go with a car that's all set for a heads and cam.

Thanks though

 

Not an issue, good luck in your quest.

I could toss in a IROC hood and a set of '91/'92 blisters in need of some repair...

 

haha.
if you ever come up mike, or we go down, i'll take you for a ride to appreciate a firm shifting 700r4.
the 2400 stall and trans-go shift kit mate perfectly and feel great shifting manually.
i'd take it over a stick anyday, my unique pref. of course.

 

I wanna ride too.I am thinking of a shift kit and stall but don't know how it'll feel.

 

Rockin'.

You know it's all a matter of taste. I just like shifting and clutching. Never ridden in a setup like yours though.

I could be swayed...

 

I like shifting too but it's nice to have a quik shifting auto too.

 

sweet, we'll do it, just remind me.
yeah, it's not a true replacement if you're really that into smashin' clutch and pullin' gears.
i just much rather focus on other things, plus it's precise, hits hard and pulls accordingly.

a shift kit and the stall are a must for racing, but i'd be careful on your stall choice, combo depending.

 

a stalled and kitted auto is a nice thing to have, but im just dead sick of autos. I wanna bang me some gears

driving an auto is just so boring, even a stalled one. I actually passed up alot of fast cars because they were autos. Mostly old 60's/70's cars. Almost every single one had a TH350 or TH400.

 

yeah i try to steer away from the auto vs manual debate.
those who have one don't usually want the other or just have their set preference.
to each their own, but i'm 110% happy with my setup and if i bought another would do just the same.

 

yeah, i understand completely an auto will usually be faster/more consistant in the 1/4, but i just want something fun lol

 

i wanna bang me something too, but it ain't gears.

 

I would probably be okay with my auto if it had a stall and a nice shift kit in it because I don't really enjoy having my transmission sliding into gear after it warms up, no fun I like to feel the shift. Maybe having a shift kit would make me appreciate my auto more. and after seeing Eric slow down with his manual, I would say choosing a manual would almost certainly slow me down as well.

 

eric just can't launch/shift/drive in general

 

i went faster when i was stock witht he 6 speed i gained 3mph

 

just the swap and nothing else gained you 3mph? Shows how much the autos take in parasitic loss!!

 

Auto's suck.

ESPECIALLY stock autos in a thirdgen jeez do they shift so soft...

Hey Ton' come next week I might be selling T5 swap kit #2 haha

This time it's a World Class too

 

pm vinny

 

back at'cha

 

psht. that's probably because you were spinnin' your wheels and not going anywhere.
get a good launch and i bet you don't net quite as high a mph.
read my post in the Track Wed/Sat thread again.
most folks would agree.

 

Driving to Mike's in a few minutes, if I like the Berli I'll be bringing her home today.

 

Berly?

 

Berlinetta? haha.

 

Does it have the didgi dash? (i hope its not a 305 :P )

 

Yeah. An '83. No digi dash.

I'm making another thread about this in a few minutes

 

gross

 

cool gotta check it out
