Dont want to lose my 91 firebird LO3!!!

I have this problem on my hands. I have the oppurtunity to purchase a 90k 94 Formula Firebird for $3500, but in order for this to happen, I need to sell my 91 LO3. On one hand, I really want to buy the 94, but on the other hand, I want to keep the LO3 and see where I can take it performance wise. What would you do in this situation?

Take out a small loan from my bank (say the differance your firebird would make +/- some) and go that route. It won't technicly be a car loan just a 100 bucks give or take every month for a year or so. Then you can have both. I did this to get my RS (1500) so that i could keep money in my account and have more to start off with when i got to school.

Do not forget the gas too! Though the 94 would probably get better mileage than the L03 you have.
