5-6000, but I have connections so I can get cars wholesale. I do have one consern with the car though, reliablilty. How relaible is the trans am? This could be the deciding factor between it, and the BMW. I would miss that engine though.

to each their own yes, but i personally detest them. powerful or not, f-bodies are heavy and have poor suspensions. just my two cents, but i will agree that an absurd amount of bhp can be enthralling, but to each their own.

I prefer the motor over the actual F-Body chassis and the LS1 is quite a hude leap in small block technology and efficiency...most put 320whp down

I dont like the weak rear ends, I dont like the 3400lbs of mass, I dont like the solid rear axle and I definitely dont like not being able to see over the hood (5'7") and I really really dislike GM for A not redesigning an IRS version...B for not lowering the price and C because they still manage to make the cheapest looking plastic hardware in the auto industry

For cheap thrills the LS1 is about as good as it gets when talking horrible resale value for a car with 320whp......tragic to say the least

However I dont hold that against the owners and regualry have discussions with the civilized ones...the others I just visit at the drag strip and deflate their ego's [hihi] 5.7L vs 1.8L....sounds fair right?

have u seen the interior on those cars? oh yeah lets not forget they have poopy suspensions and oh yeah its american. LOL why would anyone ever buy an american car? lmao. u drive that guy off the lot and poof at least 25% of the price is gone, but since u're going used, then it won't be too much of a problem...just don't buy from anyone with a mullet =]

"check engine"

Short of the hennesy viper and the Z06, the only decent american cars were built before 1972. Even those were only good for one thing.

Actually they were good for 2 things:

1. Going fast in a straight line.
2. Big back seats for Friday night dates!!!!!![rofl]

The corvette actually has a ok interior

And gm makes ok interiors in the new cadillacs.

Remember the word ( ok )= not the best but not the worst

i thought my firebird handled good for how long it was...And yes the front end sux its like over 5 feet of hood infront of you that you cant see LOL
