Slap a turbo on the Solstice when it comes out. Quick convertable, low weight, good power to weight ratio, not an import.

I like the Solstice [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]
And if I am not mistaken, they are going to make a supercharged version of it.

wait about three more years until my dad retires ;)

They should do what they did in the late 60's.

Sell a stripped, basic F-bod type car for a really low MSRP and a gutless, 260hp V8.

Then have a wealth of GM go fast parts that dealers could install upon delivery of the car if the customer so desired.

I was about to buy an 02 v6 at classic chevy in Grapevine for 16,200. All the Z28s were like 28,000.

The rebate was down to $2,000 by then from $3,000 before, and the car had over $1,000 in options so a base Z28 would have been around $18,500 easily.

I shopped around for two brand new 2002s, so I know pretty well what they went for.

Also, I think the MSRP for Z28's was around 24k and the MSRP for TA's wwas around 30k.

That's not including rebates or anything.

compare the Z/28 to the Formula & SS to the T/A for accurate price comparisons please.

But I could pick and choose some stuff [img]tongue.gif[/img]
3.4 is right, I forgot its the Trans Am. You might have been able to get a firebird formula for slightly more than the Z28 (aren't they usually a little more expensive).
Trans Am was no where near 20k though.. I am guessing the SS wasn't either.

hahaha spell checker I guess.

To me the Supra was a well built/designed car. The turbo model had an engine built like a tank. 700HP with just a turbo upgrade. The in-line 6 is SOOOOO easy to work on and the car could handle the roads with the best of them. I still keep my eyes out for a Supra but when FF came out it became every ricers dream car and they turned it into a clown car like the honda's. When I see one for sale the damn things always have a double wing and ten different colors splashed all over the body. Big ol Folgers coffee fart can hanging off the back.

Its a shame what ricers do to cars. Let pray they don't go through a classic car fad and wreck every car from the 60's.
