what would you do if you could afford to buy a new 4th gen POLL

i didnot know where to post this so i though this would be as good a place as any so dont close me of move me please Ed Maher, Kevin G, tpi_roc

i have an opporunity to go and buy a leftover 2002 trans am with 0%apr for 5 years but i will only get it if i was able to get the exact car i want and dont worry i will not be getting rid of my baby

i will only get it if they can find me a bright red,WS6 ram air, 6 speed trans am with black leather and t-tops

i would be keeping the thirdgen also and build it up so latter on i could have both cars on the road

so i want to know how many other people would do the same if they had the funds to do so?

i love the ram air car but i also love my baby right now
i could make my car run 12 seconds for alot less money then buying a new 4thgen

Honestly if it were me i'd buy the 4th gen. Esp the ram air bird's. Damn they look awesome! But I would still keep the 3rd gen cause they are awesome in their own way. I kinda have a similar dilemma of wanting to maybe get rid of mine and buy another f-bod later. But it's hard to part ways with it.

I'd build up my thirdgen. My car could be pretty quick with that much money.
