3800 and w-bodies are dying.
Why not head over to the f-body world? Dumping money there actually seems more satisfying with its returns.
Do a nice daily with the GP (1.9, 3.4, headers, tune), let it rust to pieces. Then buy an F-body, or 3rd gen or anything with an LS, a manual and RWD, you will just be much happier and nothing saying you have to use to cookie cutter stuff, you can do whatever you want to break the mold if that is what you are after.
