98-02 (preferably 99+) LS1 car.
Obvious answer is obvious... especially on a board that primarily caters to 4th gens. If budget is a problem, 3rd gen V8s have much more affordable options. Or if you get lucky, a late 2nd gen would be good too, but then you're looking at restoring other aspects.
FYI, it's "opinion". ;)'99 Camaro
'04 Saab 9-3 Aero
'90 Audi Coupe Quattro

Re: getting apenyen's on my next project car
I would look for a '99-'02 as well because they are starting to get affordable, you don't have to restore it like other generations(rust!), and if you get a hardtop more structurally rigid than any other gen w/ mods. Not to mention you will still have good gas mileage and drive-ability.

1st gen are lighter than 2nd, and more 'glass parts available. headers are diff, but collectors back is same. Birds look better, but comero's have more parts about them1978 Formula 461 in progress of being built :rock:

I think you're best bang for the buck would be an LS1 - LS2 car. IMO anything older is more trouble than its worth.
I've had a 1st & 3rd gen and I was more than happy to see them go.<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/sac2165\" target=\"_blank\"> CAMAROS</a>

Be a little different. There are a million 4th gens out there.
Go with a 2nd gen and put a 4th gen drivetrain in it. It'll turn heads and drive like a new car.
You can pick up a roller in decent shape under $2000.:tup:

If you go with a 4th gen, get an 02. Better cam, better pcm, no egr, better car. Of course that stuff can be changed on an older one... but just saying.#1:1999 pewter metallic y87 rs A4 camaro.check out the pics on the link below<br />#2:Bright red 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. Brand new 400 cubic inch Pontiac Motor.
