Default Thinking about selling my 90 Vette for a 98 Trans Am

Hey guys! I've been thinking about this lately. I really love the Vette, but it's become my daily driver and I think I could use the extra space. The Vette is an auto, so for me the T/A would have to be a 6 speed. What do you guys think? Sell the 90 and get an LS1 Trans AM? Also, since were on the topic, how does it feel to drive an LS1? I've never driven one before, but I've driven/owned a couple LT1's before. Thanks fro any help!

Get an LS1 powered car or upgrade your current engine. Maybe get a DD sedan and mod the vette.
There are lots of options!

Thanks for the input guys, it's much appreciated. To be honest, I'm not in a financial position to buy a dd sedan and mod the vette. If I get a car, it's going to be staying stock for a bit, lol! And it's going to be my only one.

Sell and get a 99+ ls1 car. Be much happier. More room. More power, hopefully less miles.

Nothing wrong with a '98. Sure, it's a tad bit harder to tune the PCM but who cares? Any good shop could tune it all the same, and he plans to keep the car stock for now anyway.

Not to mention, '98s have some advantages as well.

Ive driven a friends '92 LT1 vette A4 a few times, fun car. The LS1 is a more rev happy engine, and pulls harder in the high RPMs than the LT1.
