engine go boom?
 
my engine took a dive today, dunno what happen'd... doesnt matter...

buying a new car... the choices are...

92 corvette
http://www.performance-motorsports.c...s/92_vette.jpg

88 ish corvette
http://www.cars2nv.net/cars4sale/88corvette1.jpg

95 Camaro Z28
http://www.crucialmindz.com/members/...z/robert01.JPG

87 ish IROC Z Camaro
http://www.iroczone.com/images/spotters/87iroc.jpg

those are the ones i want, but i might settle for an old cobra mustang or maybe a gt... or i saw a dodge stealth r/t twin turbo for like 5k... might get that... something around 4k-5k

Of your choices I would go with the 95 Z28. I love those cars. I also love 88ish Mustangs(GT of course). I'd have to flip a coin because they are both good candidates for a 800whp TT setup.

good luck finding a 92 vette for 4-5k. Ive owned the newer camaro and a 3000gt vr4, i think i would take the camaro if i had a choice again.

92 Vette. Badass cars.

Id roll the Z28. Not good looking, but fast, and easy to make faster.
But dam, rolling around in an 87' Iroc would be hilarious.

Haha, no ----. My room mate loves those old Camaros for some reason. ??? He doesn't even have a mullet.

You don't like the looks of the Z28? I love the body style. Steves mom has a super sexy black Z28. :o

I'd get the 95 civic hatchback. 8)

definately the 92' vette. the 88' ish is second choice, this of coarse is with the vettes looking in good shape. vettes are just the rawest, baddest, sports cars you can buy for the least amount of money. everything, suspension, brakes, engine, all top notch.

i agree, i want a cheap quick good handling car that rides awesome and has leather interior... 92 vette if i can find one! id consider an 80s for the right price... they're kinda doggish though...

Re:engine go boom?
 
for the look it have to be a Z28
for the guts it have to be the cOrvette

but i`d still take a Jagra XJR over any of them 8)

that 92 corvette looks sexy :o i would rock that any day. If you do get that sexy bitch twin turbo it like that one corvette video you posted a while back ago. If you cant find that go with the Z28 they aren't that hard to find here in Ohio and there pretty cheap too.

You're not kidding, these cars go for real cheap around here. Heck, my cousin Chris got a Z28 for $500. Sure it had some problems but it ran quite fine :P

I still say go with the '92 Vette. And if not, get an 80's Camaro RS and drop a 454 in it 8)

No doubt. Lots of room, looks decent, and the speed density system would be easier to boost. IMHO.
