damn college

[blueturtle]

ok i know this has nothing to do with camaro's but it does with cars i was gonna go to a place called port and chester in a year (since im taking a year off from school) but my friend was telling me how getting into cars is a dead end job and that if u wanna succeed you need hookups or have mad money??

can anyone else tell me otherwise

[Chevyracincamaro]

well, it depends on what aspects of automotive mechanics you get into. if you are just going to get ASE cert. and nothing else, then yes, it could be somewhat dead-end. however, as long as there are cars, there will be a need for a trained professional to work on them (as im sure 89IROC would agree). if you want to get into more specialized fields, like performance engine building or autobody, stuff like that, i think the opportunities are more abundant. it all depends on what you want and like to do, but i dont think that anything is dead-end...

im thinking of going into the mechanic field as well, and yes there will always be cars, and cars will always break down, so there is always a need for mechanics.

how man psi does that one have? i was thinking about buying a 03 GT
and throwing a roush body kit on it and a supercharger. i found a 03 GT for $15,000 with 6500 miles. do you think it would be worth it?

[NailZ69]

theres a convertable 03 GT in my neighborhood for $15,000

[tacoma man.]

thats a good price but can a GT be turned into a roush stang. i want side pipe exhaust, the works.
or should i not waist my time and money. i have a 94 supercharged z28 that will leave a zo6 vette setting in its tracks. its had a lt4 conversion as well and a hot cam put into it. i need me some headers for it.
