Default Bought another F Body what should I do with it???

I traded my 06 r1 plus a little cash for a white 98 ws6 with 70k and t-tops just last week. Now im thinking of trading it for either a decent luxury car if i can, a nice truck, or keep it as a DD. What do you guys think? I already have a 99 nbm ss.

No real need for two fbody's. I say you sell the less attractive car. Unless your SS is heavily heavily modified, just DD that car.

I have a white T/A so I say keep the T/A. The white is pretty rare for the Ws6's. At least in my area.

Keep them both, nothing like having a F-body as a spare to your dd.

I have got a ton more looks and compliments with my Formula then i ever did with my Camaro, just throwing that out there. I also think the WS6 will hold its value better in the future, but do whatever makes you happy.

I would do what i plan to do as soon as my current SS is payed off. Make one a drag car and one a DD that can TEAR up the canyon/back roads. LS1 Z28's are getting pretty freaking cheap, and i have no doubt they will be even cheaper in a little less than 2yrs.

Idk a white T/A they don't make firebirds at all and they killed pontiac. Soo id say the t/a is worth way more un touched and with less then 100,000 k. That's a collecters car rite there.

T/As are always worth more than Camaros and White T/As are awesome.

I would definitely keep the WS6 man. If i could have done it all over again, i would have gone with a white SS or WS6 instead of my NBM..

well the SS is my baby, it's the first car I've ever bought so it's not going anywhere. Ill try to get some pics up of them together, but they're gonna be dirty lol I guess I'm keeping the TA unless a nice diesel truck comes along. I'm really starting to like it, i wasn't a big TA fan up until now really. I think its the ttops that really got me hahaa

Will the stock manifolds and all the smog equipment fit and work right from my 99ss to the 98TA? because the TA needs a smog and it has longtubes

Yes everything will swap over. But to me it's worth paying the ~150 for a smog than to swap out the complete exhaust.

If you are able to keep both, why not have both? I would love to have another T/A with a manual though. Possibly a 70-73.

Most people feel that way when they get their first TA. Once you have it for a while, a regular Camaro or Z28 looks very very plain. I still like SS's, but a badass WS6 is much meaner looking.

keep both, I daily drive my supercharged M6 Z, and eventually will finish my drag car, an nitrous swallowing A3, best of both worlds. I think i know which WS6 you got, it has black 20/19 wheels?
