I've found a 93 Z28 for a real good price, If I can get a decent sell on my car I'm going to go get it. I know that the 93 was kinda a bad year, but its a steeping stone to a ls1. besides it has a lt1 and a six speed, I'll enjoy having a low 14 second car that I'll take into the 13s, maybe 12s. I wish I could hold on to the rs forever, but it just isn't as fast as I want, and its cheaper to get a newer one than to mod it

 

How much for your car??

 

I'm gonna put it in the paper for $6250, then maybe I'll get 5000 for it , everyone says rs aren't worth that much, but they are thinking from a dragracing point of veiw, not a total package. otherwise everyone would own 350s or higher, and no one would one a v6 monte carlo, which are twice as easy to sell

 

Hahaa...you did what I did. Cool, hope it all works out.

My RS is on eBay.

mayn, people are droppin like flies from this board. Does everyone know something thats going on which i don't? I cant even afford decent mods right now, and everyone's buying 4th gens, or at least droppin new engine's into their current ones. Hmm, pity on me right??? LOL j/k. Good luck with your car!

I am trying to post more.

Hey, good luck with the LT1, I am sure u will have a blast with it.

 

Yeah 93 was the only year of the MPFI batch fire. In 94 they went to the SFI which would be a much better step up. I would wait for a '94 up.

 

dont worry ill be here for along time....i finally paid my 3rd gen TBI off so im not even considering a newer car...why? insurance will be much higher and if something does break itll be alot harder to fix...anyways id like to get my TBI into the 13's itll be done by summer i hope...

 

Everyone wants a fast car, me...I just want a tinker toy. That's why I love my TBI.

 

Eh, tinkering with a motor that already has 300+ HP stock appeals to me a little more.

 

$4,800 and the rs is yours, that is as low as I can go, I came out and told you that because I know that a member here would give it a good home.

 

2 opinion on the matter of getting a 4th gen: Better from the factory, that's about all. The all have 350's so that's a plus but everything else about them I'm not crazy about. They definatly have the advantage of technology but it comes at a price.
I for one am just glad I can still use a cherry picker to remove my engine in a weekend. Good luck tinkering on an Lt1 or Ls1. Only ticker you can do is add a power adder which has been done to death for a good reason :-)
If I had my way I would keep my car and just add all the 4th gen goodies to it.
It's funny that I actually get MORE compliments about how my car looks than most 4th gens that I know of. It's probably because a good condition 3rd gen is hard to come by nowadays.
I will say the new Ls1 firebirds look great but I'd still rather have either a 1st or 3rd gen. For less than $3000 ANY car on this board could have a mid to high 13 second car with a 350 and tons of potential. I guess engine swaps are a thing of the past :-( sad sad day.
The most fun I ever had with my car was my engine swap. Even though I had mega bugs to work out it was worth the $3000 (that includes price of new engine and new parts).
BTW, I got my car a few years back for $3750, he was asking $4800 ;-) Just thought I would through that out at ya. He was an idiot that wanted more speed and a way to make some payments on his new death....sorry....."sports bike"

 

nevermind. a car's a car...

 

id like to have a 4th gen but insurance would kill me since im only 17 and id have to spend at least 7000$ to get a nice one...i got my 88 for 2000$ and its in pretty good condition...just a torn drivers seat and the clear coat is coming off the bumper..other than that its pretty nice. from 10 or more feet away it looks mint and i get alot of looks in it...just about everyother 3rd gen around here is a real eyesore its sad to see
