Might Get a New Car!?

This summer I'm thinking about selling both of my cars and getting a 2002 Trans Am Ws6...What do you guys think, should I go for it? Also, if I do decide to do that, if anyone is interested in either of the cars, just let me know. I have a highly modded 1995 Camaro Z28, and a mostly stock 1996 Camaro Z28. I have tons of pics and info on both. If you want times and power/torque ratings, I'll have all of that on both cars no later than March 8, as I'll be going to the track and dyno numerous times over my spring break. Anyways, what do you guys think, sound like a good plan? Or any recomendations on something else I should get this summer? Nothing more than about $30k or so, and something relatively new.

I think ws6's are badass and you should get it http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/icons/icon14.gif

I think it's a good idea. I love the ram-air look. I plan on doin' the same thing in 2 years when my Eclipse is paid off.

sell those camaros, but instead buy a 93 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo

you wouldn't really need to sell both for a 93 Toyota Supra TT ... if they generate a large amount of revenue i'd try to get the newest supra i could find.


I like the idea of a WS6 i think you should go for it!

They are one powerful vehicle but they ride like a brick. If you want unrefined power - you can't make a better choice.

See, what are the last three words of my post?? "SOMETHING RELATIVELY NEW". I don't want a car that old. I'm not going to sell two never cars to get something old. That's asking for problems.

ok get a 98 supra TT

To be honest with you I'd wait for the new stangs to come out, but I'm a ford guy. Otherwise I'd keep the Z28, don't get me wrong I love supra's, but who here besides me thinks those things are complete agony to work on?

(finally selling that sled self? :devil: ;)

Not into waiting two more years or else I would consider it. Maybe around that time I'll be able to buy one of those AS WELL. But I'm really going to try and pick up a car this summer. And YES, Supra's are a headache and a half to do anything too. And YES, I'm finally selling "that sled":mad: :D
And plus, I can't afford a 1998 Supra, and even if I could, I want something NEW. A '98 is five years old, hardly new. I want something 2001, 2002, 2003ish. Something NEW.

2k4 Grand Prix GTP: 260 HP, 280 ft-lbs torque

Stratus R/T (coupe): 200 HP V6 with 5 speed tranny. Kinda the unexpected runner.

I need more help on what you're looking for here. I have brochures coming out of my ass on all the "new" models for 2k3. Do you want domestic? I'm guessing a powerful V6. Do you want passenger capacity??? Help a sister out. :p

ok, but i got a feeling that a supra would probably out run the WS6 or at least stay next to it!

As others have posted, the WS6 is badass, and would be a good choice, but personally, Id keep what you have and just work with that. The Z28 is a nice car! :)

Why not just get a Vette + 2 years, then?

get a cobra kit car! you can get a really nice one for 30 ish

you could get a Skyline R33 Gt-s with only 38,000 miles on it
but it is a 95

Other than it having to be new and <$30K, is there any other pieces of criteria? You seem to favour the Camaro/Firebird look and you you pretty ste on it, so I'd say stick with the plan to get a WS6.

How much do 35th Anniveraries run for?

That R33 GTS on motorRex is weak. Automatic non-turbo.

Besides MotoRex is the gay they overcharge for doing nothing. And its 1995

WS6 is baddass. I'd hit it.

Oh and a WS6 can be "tuned" easier than a Supra. Supras a nicer car IMHO but the WS6 requires less maitence, is newer, and is prob. cheaper to run.

Somebody's obviously caught up in the hype... :rolleyes:

Supra's are nice cars, but FAR overrated by too many people that know nothing about them or other cars...

Right now I want the Ws6 the most...But only because I haven't found anything else in that price range, with that power, and that I like the looks of that much.
To Saturn: I'm a sports car guy. Doesn't have to be domestic, don't really care, just has to be a two door sports car that can RUN, or be made to run. So yea, that's really my only criteria...New, sports carish, preferrably targa/ttop(NO CONVERTs), potential to be pretty quick, not a PITA to maintain...That's really it, I think.

And yea Supra's are nice and all, but not as great/perfect as everyone wants to believe they are. Just another car, nothing magical there.

You could get a stripped 350z or G35 sport coupe for under $30k. Both start around $27k or $28k and both are pretty sporty.

Get the 2004 Pontiac GTO :D:D:D:D:D:D Released in September


lol It looks so much better with a Pontiac Grille than with a Holden grille :D

If it were me, I would do a Vette, or keep the '95 Z28 and continue to mod the shit out of it!

Yeah, they're definately sporty, and definately sexy as hell.

I have a poster with the 2k4 Grand Prix GTP and the new GTO on my wall and it's FUN to drool at it for hours on end. ;)

Those are probably my best picks.

I like your taste in posters :eek: :D

I have one of the HSV GTS Coupe (Just a GTO wth an extremely ugly bodykit and a 300Kw Callaway-tuned LS1):D

:eek:

Wow where did you get that thing???? I LOOOOOVE Holdens!!!

Cant wait for GTO

I was thinking about the Vette idea, not sure though. Really really wanted a NEW car. And plus we already have a Vette in the family, my dad has a C5:D I'm still not sure though, not quite to the point where I HAVE to make a decision yet. And the '95 is pretty much as far as it's going to get modwise, without me dropping $5k+ into it. Something I'm DEFINITELY not doing. Anything more than where it is will be on the verge of making it a track-only car:)

I would also recommend a 2000 or so Vette Coupe, but since you want something new, and you already have a C5 in the family, I say either go for a Vette or WS6 anyways, or check out a 350Z or G35 Coupe.

In that case, I can easily see how you wouldn't want to drive the same car as one of your parents. Those Nissan coupes are then good ideas... and what is the damned status of the release of the Mitsubishi Evo?!?!?! :sun:

"2k4 Grand Prix GTP: 260 HP, 280 ft-lbs torque

WTF? Only car worth buying from GM is Camaro/Firebird! And the Stratus is a 3g Eclipse. Slow! Go Ws6! I've tried to buy one twice but I get screwed out of them. One time the guy sold it an hour before I got there cus a Dady bought it for his girl and payed 2k more than I would cus she wanted it. The other I was jsut to late to reply to the add. Go ws6

Yea, I'm definitely loving the G35 Coupe. Nissan 350Z is also nice...I was thinking about the Evo, but I personally don't think they look all that great. Definitely nice, just not a car I get very excited about seing. Hmm...Any other ideas people? Keep in mind that I'd like a car with some serious potential to go quick:D

Potiential to go quick eh?

I've got three letters for you...

O

Yeah... baby.

Why dont you get a Porsche?
BTW: Are your Camaros V8's?

Just so you know, the intercooler on the Peon (neon) SRT is visibly larger than the EVO intercooler. :o I was kinda disappointed.

I'd say "Go Nissan or Infiniti" not so much b/c of the fact that I'm biased, but even former AFer "Ric" loves the new G35 coupe and 350z. He's right... Nissan is ahead of its time with those two.

If you aren't partial to domestics, then I'd also tell you to take a look at a VDub Golf 1.8T. I can assure that it will MOVE. ;) Audi would be fun, too.

IMHO, MOST of GM rather sucks. Mopar is even more of a joke, but I was trying to make the best of the Domestics that I have brochures on. ;)

why not an SLK or a C-Class if you like Mercedes ? ;) It's better (except for the performances) than a Camaro. Did you think to Autodelta (Alfa Romeo's sold in North America), very exclusive an exciting drinving.

Without getting into a major debate, anything with a variation of the LS1 V8 underhood has a good thing going for it, no matter how much you don't care for the body style, ergonomics, or overall build quality. And in terms of price for performance, I'd take one over anything produced by VW/Audi.

How DARE you ask me that question!?:mad:
Haha, j/k, yes they're both Z28s:)

Disagree, most of them serve the purpose they're made to serve just fine. All of you can say that they break down so often and such, but I can most assuredly tell you that is NOT true. Maybe not the most bulletproof vehicles in the world, but they'll certainly get the job done with minimal problems if you just take care of them.

I was thinking about the Mercedes Benz C230 Coupe actually. It's a supercharged I4 producing 200hp. There is a pulley kit out to bring it to 230hp, and a supercharger swap being released soon that is estimated to push 260hp. That would be FUN. And plus it's a Mercedes so that's a great thing:D But then I was thinking again about already having one in the family. Not a C230 exactly, but my parents have TWO Mercedes' already:( So I'm not sure, but that's another one I was looking in to, and still am.

100% TRUE. Anything with an LS1 is going to be a gem, wonderful motor.

There are so many great cars coming out in the next two years... just wait and see what you like the most :D

A little while ago, I was looking at a WRX, and saw that it's engine is mounted longitudinally, so now it gets my thumbs up :flipa:

Yeah just like Cbass just mentioned if you wait until the fall you can get a Wrx Sti starting a $30,000
real nice
can't go wrong with all wheel drive

Not here anyways.

Not here anyways. Maybe he means like late-eighties Porsche. I saw an 87ish 911 Carrera in Austin once for 17 grand. Not too bad.
But anyways, Self say he wanted something newer, so that's out.
I still stand behind my position in saying he should go with the WS6. Can't beat the fear that shivers the spine of someone when they see those nostrils comin' up in the rear-view mirror.:D :D :D :D :D :D

Well Sheep, neither is a Nissan Sentra :finger:

Well he lives in Virginia- and The chances of an AutoDelta place being there are slim-nothing in fact I'm not even sure where the Autodelta dealers are myself :D

Wait for WRX STi? EVO8?

Yea, on that. Couldn't tell you where one was to save my life:(

Maybe on the STi, not that big of a fan of the Evo though. Love the car for what it is, but it's styling just doesn't do it for me, never get excited about seeing one(except for their rarity over here right now).

you should look into the RX8 when it comes out...very sleek

Ughh. We ran a pic of it in the paper today. The door handles are completely in the wrong place. Too low on the door and it looks Saturn-ish because of the half-door. The haunches are all off, too. A lot of the lines just don't seem to match up. It had some good bits and some really, really, bad bits.

i never said it was functional!!! :D i just said it looked sleek ;)

yeah.... respond when a mod says it.... there's nothing wrong with the rx8!! .... aside from it being a 4 door... and not a "sports car"... and having a trunk, not a glass hatch... ok.. i just love the rensis engine. but i agree, it does look "sleek"

Originally posted by SilverLotus340R

:confused: :confused: I never said anything about functional...a lot of it looks good but some of it definitely looks screwy. Maybe I'm not used to it but the fenders look bloated and and the rear just looks funny.

I have NO idea how it functions.

Stuff the RX8- Give me a Mazda6 with a RENESIS :D :D :D

that's indeed a real problem for Autodelta ! ;) (it it linked to Fiat Spa ?)

Another example of a gem prototype that was too heavily watered down to make it practical as a production model, and lost it's edge. Nissan did a much better job at keeping the new Z a lot closer to the concept vehicle.

Autodelta are not linked in anyway to us- we just let them tune some of our viechles and sell them off as different ones :D

I heard say that Alfa would come back in the USA arround 2005, do you confirm ? And what for Lancia ?
