plans for a new car....

[skorpion317]

After I get beat the hell out of my grandma's car, I'm going to be looking for a new car. Not "new" new, but a car to replace my soon-to-come pimpmobile. I want to hear your suggestions before I reveal what I'm thinking about getting. :D

91/92 formula :) can't go wrong with the banshee nose :)

[foff667]

98 ls1 powered fbody...300 to the wheels cant go wrong :)

[Little G]

Can't go wrong with a Porsche Carrera GT

[ar0ck]

1985 Trans Am! Limited time to purchase though :lol:

I second the early 90's 3rd gens. Especially them Formula 350's

[skorpion317]

for the suggestions, guys, let's keep it realistic. There's no LS1 f-body or Carrera GT in my future anytime soon.

[jims69camaro]

basket case '70 1/2 camaro (still affordable)
any year '71-'74, split bumper camaro
'67-'69 firebird (still affordable)
'82 camaro with an Iron Duke (be different)
any year pace car
'87 Iroc Z (350 TPI)
'92 camaro (anything but the dreaded V6)
'02 SS camaro (borrow from friends, family, take out a loan, become a for-hire hitman)

i tend to lean toward camaros except for the first gen firebirds. anything outside of f-bodies i wouldn't even consider, unless you were to take a step up and get a 'vette.

CHEVY PICKUP TRUCK !!! :headbang:

the carrera gt isnt realistic but ive seen ls1 cars go for $7k i would think that would be realistic for pretty much anyone that wanted one?

[skorpion317]

keep 'em coming guys!

[Squirrel]

northstar caddy....black seville/deville with 5% tint all around :hail:

[12secondv6]

3rd gen's are pretty cheap
2nd gen neons can go mid 15;s stock
high 14's with a bit of work and blasts through snow and rain
and CHEAP as hell to buy and insure!

the only neon i'd buy is the SRT4...after owning the camaro, i'm not a huge fan of FWD :D

[Ian]

you're gonna buy my GTA aren't you? I knew it!

[Untamed]

If I had $2k Ian I'd already own it. :-(

[79dizZy28]

well, here are some other nice options becides the obvious f-body
:hail: 86-87 Buick Grand National (or T-type):headbang:
1990 Nissan 300ZX (twin turbo if you like)
94-96 Chevy Impalla SS
Caddy STS (northstar of course)
Early 90's BMW 8-series (don't see too many of these)
92-94 Ford Taurus SHO (next on my list for a beater car)

But the insurance is the killer!

i always forget how age hurts you young guys...i was young once...when i had my 94 formy the insurance was like 3200 a year which i thought was puttin a hurtin on my pocket...my 98 was only 1700 a year though for full coverage.

I love how the guys in their mid twenties try to sound much older than everyone else. :?

hey buddy im 28 for your info ;) and the cutoff for decent insurance if im not mistaken is 25...so when your talking insurance im light years older then the people that are 18-24 :lol:

[Untamed]

Yeah, insurance and being able to rent a car. :)

My suggestion is to buy a beater, save your money, then buy whatever you want in 2-4 years, making it a project car at first, so you can get exactly what you want. Patience, grasshopper!

Go for anything first or second generation. They're rusting fast, are already worth money for the restored ones, with many of them needing to be rescued from Canada. :P

when i was looking for a beater, what, 3 years ago i came across an 89 formy for less then 2 grand...l98 ws6 car...had some slight issues some i fixed some tim found after i sold him the car but for a year or so it served me well...and was fun in the meantime...i was never a fan of the pos beater i couldnt live with myself.
