save up some more money and in a few months get a nice Ls1 camaro or trans-am with low miles and in good condition. I wish i did that but then again im off to college in year and that wouldn't work out to well...but still ls1 get one

[3.4 slow to go]

buy a third gen & swap in an ls2 w/6spd. looks & power.

do it.

do it.

no ls1 i have school starting back next mon. i have been out since rita and i have no car that is not an option...trust me this lt1 is faster than an ls1

[shenanigans]

If I had to do it again...

lt1 6-speed. I bought this car thinking, newer won't have to put any money into it but I learned when you race and run cars hard they break no matter what.
