What would you trade your thirdgen for?
I know we all have our limits. If someone offered to trade you straight up for your thirdgen, what is the cheapest vehicle that you would take the offer on?
I'm sure some of you could guess what I would trade on, so let's hear what you have to say.

Viper for you?
I can't just get straight cash?
My car is probably not worth what I'd accept a trade only for.
Cars that I'd be interested in, would go for a lot more.
There's nothing I can think of off the bat worth around 10K, which is about what I'd consider for the GTA.

You got it right, The cheapest car I would take a trade for is , yes, a Viper. What about you Del? this is not a serious question, just a 'what if'.

I was going to say C5, but then I decided that I'm not sure I'd want a stock C5 in place of my car. And it's not like anyone in their right mind would trade a modded Vette for my car, but that would be the bare minimum it would take I think.

Cheater!
I wouldnt trade my thirdgen for a c5 or c6. but a c6-z06, probably but they are about the same price range as a viper

Being a Chevrolet fan, the Z06 was the 1st thing that came to my mind. I've always been fond of '64 Impalas too.

Being a total chevy head it's hard to think outside the box (like an authentic YENKO or ZO6), but since it's just for kicks, i wouldn't mind trying a turbo charged "EVO", the handling in those cars is just superb, i know i'm gonna get some laughs going but oh well
than again if it's just for kicks i would give a away my keys for an ENZO

A new Z06 in a heartbeat !!!! I have actually been thinking about selling a few of my cars and buying one, but 70K average is hard to stomach on another toy.... I may do it anyways in 6 months or so...

The C6 Z06 is an awesome car. I too would want one of those. Maybe I'll trade my ZR1 someday but I rather have an FE GTS Viper at any given day.
As for my Camaro trade........I rather keep it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.........ho.ho.ho.ho.ho.ho and a HAPPY NEW YEAR..see you guys at the track. Hopefully it will not rain.

Watch this Google Video
This guy is a jerk but if any of what he says is even close to accurate, I'll take a Audi.
EDIT: Not a Jag. An Audi A6.

Re: What would you trade your thirdgen for?
The power output is the same as the 89+ 3rd gen Supras, 232hp.
The 91-92 had some minor styling changes, rims, etc. before the generation change in '93.
Most people would prefer the uber-popular 4th gens, twin-turbo, etc.
I like my '89 Supra, but wouldn't have minded the later years of the MKIII instead either.

Re: What would you trade your thirdgen for?
I wouldn't trade my 87' IROC for anything. I've owned it since 1992. I've had many cars in my life time including a new 98 Z28 LS1. But the only 2 cars I'll never get rid of is my IROC and my 67' camaro. I've personally driven it for over 250,000 miles!
I use it like a truck sometimes hauling lumber up to 12' long, and plywood.
It takes a lickin and keeps on tickin.
It can literally kick the crap out of most cars on the road too.!!!
