    My issue with the V8 is that I really won't need all that power. The more I think about it, the more i think I need less of something that's crazy fast, and more of something that's just fun to drive. Both coincide, but hopefully you know what I mean.

    I don't do any racing, of any kind. I just drive around, and this is more of an effort to get me back into my garage than anything.

    So let's say I buy a 99 Trans Am(there's one down the corner!). I put a cam in it, do a block back exhaust, all the bolt ons. I should be in the low 12's-high 11's by then from what I've read with the LS1(going from LS1tech). Now I have nothing else to do because that's one fast freaking car.

    With something that makes less power to begin with I have to do a lot of playing/tinkering/work to get it where I'd want it.

    It's a hard decision to make. The LS1 doesn't seem like a project. IT's almost PERFECT, lol. If I could find a solid 3rd gen f-body shell I'd be SOLD. But they are few and far between where I live and my searches over the past month have come up with a lot in the $5-6K range. Hell, even civics are stupid expensive. 93, 245K miles, 4500 FIRM. , you gotta be kidding me.

    So I have to toy around with ideas(hence the thread). A Grand national would be sick, but damn they're hard to find, expensive when you do find them too.

    Bluegtp91: Actually I found a 1G GS-T for $500. It needs motor work but runs. Body looks straight and all that. My first car was a 94 Eclipse GS :P. I wish I had a facebook account so I could see that video.
