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 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.

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.

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?

Honestly, he could probally get a 02' WS6 cheaper than a 98' Supra. F&F shot the retail on those skyhigh.

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"
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.

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!
