Personally, had I not got my 5.0, I would have looked for a C5/C5 Z06 or a terminator

It was seriously fast, it was an auto so i really didnt get the full driving experience. I would want to test drive the others still, but hey, you never know.

-z06 c5 corvette
-6.0 gto
-ws6 trans am
-f body ss camaro
-03/04 Cobra

It saddens me to come to this conclusion but it is the best route.
The GTO, ws6 and older SS I wouldn't bother with. If you are getting them as a starting point it's only marginally faster starting point than what you have. And the SS and ws6 suck for getting in an out of, and for the passengers.

But the SS's are collector cars!! Love how a car that had its production stopped, is now somehow "rare" because no one bought them new.

Getting an estimate tuesday to have the roof of my car sprayed gloss black!
I have been dealing with the dreaded crystal white paint and the only super effected are is the roof.
If i decide ti keep my car i will definately have it painted some kind of pear white.

Yeah, but was it rusted under there or did it bubble up and start chipping away? Sorry I should have made myself more clear.
