Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh right. You say that now. Besides in the long run you’ll save $ on not replacing the opti every year and other busted-ass LT-fun parts.

My buddy’s '98 LS1 has 140k+ and so far the most major engine part he’s put into it is a water pump, LoL. Oh, and it has been AutoXed all season (which in Cali means about 10 months of the year) since it was bought new every year along w/ track days etc. He did heat the brakes bad 'nough to (literaly) weld the pistons to the clalipers once before he did the 996TT brakes though, and he runs it on 315 R compound at all 4 corners so he ain’t babying it. Not a oil or water leak on the thing. Been through a few clutches, lots of brakes and pleny of susp. mods. But the engine is bone stock from TB to exhaust manifolds. Every LT1 I see leaks oil at the back of the intake manifold, kills optis regularly and is a general PITA.

I dont know if I can afford an LS1. Funds are very limited. With the bitch leaving bills are now all doubled. Plus my credit sucks balls so Im sure I wont get a good rate. I dont want this car for forever, probably just to last until next fall. Then I’ll have a lot more room to play around.

Their’s a 98 Trans Am M6 with 65K in Tampa FL for only $7,500. Check it out on Autotrader.com
If your gonna spend around 8K I would try to find a LS1 TA before you spend close to that on the older body style with the LT1. Just a thought.

Im not driving to Florida to buy a damn car. Especially not a friggin Firechicken.

And if 8K will get me a lower mileage, better conditioned LT1, I’d rather have that then a higher mileage, more beat up LS1. Like I said I dont want the car for balls to the wall performance. And besides, I think the LT1 body style looks much cooler.

Your bills just doubled… why take on a car payment right now? Give yourself a few months to maybe find a house-mate and get used to your new budget. Just because you can make it happen doesn’t mean you should. Wait a bit, find a roomie (hot russian from the hotel perhaps?), finish payin’ off the Maxipad (this will greatly help your interest rate on your next loan, they’d rather see a paid off car loan on your history then one you’re still making payments on) and theeeeeeen get a LS1.

And don’t give me this “it has more balls than the Maxi I don’t care if it’s really fast” bullshit. I know you. Shut the fuck up. You want a fast car. Now get back to licking Rustang Jim’s taint for spare change.

1. Im not getting a roomie. I have 2 roomates already and theres no way I’m sharing my actual bedroom with another person. Fuck that shit.

2. I already have a hot chick from the hotel lined up. :naughty:

3. The Maxipad has 2 years till its paid off.

4. Im not planning on increasing my car payment by much, if at all. My loan is for $5000 and my payments are like $158/mo. I have $2K paid off. So If i can get $6,000 out of the Maxi on the private market I can pay off my loan and have $3,000 cash. Borrow another $5K and that gives me $8,000 to play with without increasing my payments.

5. You’re right, I do ultimately want a fast car. Im just trying to find a cheap car with a little muscle and some open air over my head to last me until I have the funds to go after what I really want, which may be an LS1. Who knows. If I can swimg it, then great. If not, then no biggie either. Its not a huge priority, but Im bored as shit with the Maxima. The only reason I got it was because it was a good, solid, economical car for me and the woman. The woman is now gone, so I want to get back to my roots.

1. Didn’t realize you already had the extra bedrooms taken. Scratch that.

2. TITTYWOP

3. I had 2 years making the base payment. If you can’t pay off 2k in 6 months you certainly don’t need to be buying a Fbody.

4. Your numbers make sense… accept you need to sell the Maxi to swing the Fbody. So what happens if you either find the Fbody you want first and have no money to put down and have 2 car payments for a while. Or you find the right buyer for the Maxi and sell it b4 you find the Fbody and have no car.

5. See, you know I’m right. You’re gonna hate gettin’ beat in your pig-heavy LT1 'vert all the damn time. Stock it’ll be like mid to high 14s.
