I was thinking, and as much as I LOVE J-bodies, I think I want something I can do a little more with. Sure a J-body is good, but do I want to dump my money into a car that I will max at 260 horse? I can make a fast Grand-Am or Eclipse/Talon. I can sell my Jbody for 3x more than I bought it for and be realy happy with that deal.
I really want a car that I can make to keep up with my cousin, and a J-body can never do that.
Give me some suggestions.
If I do sell my J-body I will still drop in for some chat and maybe offer some of the advice i actually have on electronics.

I picked my j-body because it's something people don't expect to have some quickness to it. Everyone usually goes honda or acura or you know the deal. The J-body to me is a break from the mold. True if you want super high horsepowered car, a j-body isn't quite the way to go, but it's something different from the norm to me at least.

I decided to keep the J and not do everything I thought I would. I will just buy a second car this summer.

I didn't know what I wanted when I got back to Canada in Oct. I wanted to avoid a domestic. I was really into getting a VW Passat G60 Synchro! 1.8 Supercharged and AWD!!!! How sick! but only 300 were made and they were very hard to find!
170hp std and that could easily be upped! I almost got a g60 Synchro wagon! Ultimate sleeper! Was considereing Golf Gti's etc I looked at a talon a 95 but it was fooked! the inner fenders were shot! I left after loking at for 2 mins! VW were out in front and then a local dealer got this nice red Zed in and I looked at it, drove it, scared that sales guy and fell in Love! If you want speed for not much dough then maybe you should think lightweight!

If you love something you let it go. if it comes back it's yours, if it doesn't it wasn't meant to be >.> Personally I like my little domestic.
