If it’s just a weekend car, I would skip on buying something factory, and instead go with a swapped car. Just about anything is cool with an LS1 under the hood. That 240Z that was posted up here, Z3 with LS1, i’m sure there are plenty of FD LS1 swapped cars available for purchase. Supra’s are badass too.

Vette, hands down.

If you can’t swing a Z06 just get a base with the Z51 performance package.

Tough to beat an old school car with a modern driveline for a summer ride to cruise in…for $35K there are some fantastic options out there. When I say old, I’m talking 50’s restomods:tup:

Thanks for maintaining your post to a 5% trolling content.

Supra’s are too old for my liking and to get anything decent, I’d have to drop big $$$$. 20 year old sports cars aren’t really my thing.

I really don’t want a project car or somebody else’s project.

I kind of really want something that I can get in and cruise around in, do normal maintenance and drive around without a front plate on and not get hassled.

Yeah, I think this is the route I want to go, but I might hold off to get a Z06. Between the house and whatnot, holding off a year might not be a bad idea anyways.

I want to dick swing. I’ve went through over 2500 WHP in cars in the past 2 years. Boom

Why not just buy a super nice C5?

I know a guy selling siq nice blue 2002 zo6 ~40K miles, forged ls3, 6 speed built with a 150hp shot for 24K.

Maybe save the money for your wedding or the baby’s college or diapers or something cute! LoL 😛

When you’re not driving old man cars and trucks we have very similar car tastes. You had a GTO, I have a GTO. I’m planning on trading the GTO in a Vette when the Murano is paid off, you have a Vette.
