02 t/a ws6 ftw
06-11-2012
In about 2 years time I plan on getting a 5 year loan hopefully and buying a C5 Corvette. I know the LS1 engines can take a lot of abuse and are very dependable even with quiet a few miles on them. Been looking in the mid 15k range. I think a C5 Corvette would provide more fun while still looking much better than a GTO.

ls1 fbody, gto, corvette, all win imo lol
06-11-2012
honestly most muscle cars win in my book

i'll probably need an SUV of some sort. i like too many things that require being able to tow tons of gear.

I'm lookin for anything V8 with Pontiac lol. For some reason I cant get away from Pontiac but if that caprice comes on the market before I drop some money on a used car I might have to jump on that

Looking at a 2001 C5 Z06. Time to dd the GP and move on up.
06-11-2012
set for next year though

dont get the 2001 c5 corvette. the 2002-2004 had the ls2 which made 50 more horsepower. I mean the zo6 did, plus it had a different styling package and weighed a lot less then typical corvettes. also the z06's came stock with a 6 speed manual. if you look hard you can find these in the 17000+ range.

If you dont want to settle, get an ls3 vette. Best of everything but youll pay twice as much as you would for a c5.

Which is why Davis said...C5 Z06...'01-'04, and it was slated with the LS6. Also, no C5 had the LS2, it was an LS1 car...until '05-'07...which was then replaced by the LS3 in the C6.Originally Posted by johntremell
I'm not a fan of the Pontiac Cavalier. It's a heavy boat. You want an arrowhead car with the V8? Track down a G8 GT and save your money in the meantime. Drive the Grand Prix until it explodes. Seriously.

C5 with the LS1 is a potent car. Especially if you start to mod it.
06-12-2012
threads with you in them speaking about muscle cars and V8s make me want to punch myself in the face.
06-12-2012
def be looking into the g8 gt over the gto, both are nice tho, considered the ls6 (correct me if im wrong) older CTS-V, thats the route id be going
06-12-2012
Ls6 or ls2.
06-12-2012
I still like gto's but the G8 would be alot more practical if you had the change.
06-13-2012
my bad on the ls2, all I remembered was the 400 hp. I thought they started putting the ls6 in the z06 in 2002 but I could be wrong again. yes the ls1 is a potent engine but the ls6 is even more potent.
06-13-2012
...and then put a new engine in and scan for knock this time
06-13-2012
Since I will probably have a need for 4 doors, I will likely be looking for a G8 GT or LS6/LS2 CTS-V. Hopefully the prices can come down when the Chevy SS comes out.
06-13-2012
you can assume the G8 is going to fall more slowly since it is a 'dead' platform. just look at all the LS camaros and trans ams that are still commanding $15k.
there's too many cars for me to choose from to pick one new car that i want. i am going to have to test drive a bunch of them. a short list:
- G8
- G37
- WRX
- EVO
- regal GS (new ones, turbo ecotec)
- audi A4
