What should I do? I am in the market for a different viechle. I dont have an F-body but it is one of the viechles Im thinking about.
Route 1. Im thinking about getting a fairly new pickup work on getting that paid for and then get a drag car. I live in South Dakota so I like to hunt and fish and stuff so pickup would be very handy plus sometimes the winters suck.
Or
Route 2. Get a LS1 F-body and mod it and have fun with it in the Summer months. If I go this route I will need a different viechle anyway since you cant drive a Muscle car in snow. The second one would probaly be an older pick up or something similar since I like to hunt and fish.
Im leaning toward the Route 1 just because the car sceane in SD kind of sucks and no one like to have fun on the street anyway, they all want to race on the track. So why not just have drag only car?
But I have no idea. It seams like I change my mind as much as I change my underwear.

Try to get a used vette or something.

I like option #1. Get a truck, but nothing toooo expensive and save for a drag car. A nice truck will probably last you for years and it's more practical for where you live.

Okay as a former SD resident (Rapid City 12+yrs) I will totally agree with you about the lack of a car scene, as well as driving a f-body in the snow.... HELL NO!!! Either choice is good I have a 99 TA and would never drive it during the winter months there, that's why I also had a 79 full size 4X4.
Got to have a fun car for the summer months, I personally don't think I would go for the straight up drag car, probably more strip-street.

Hell yea thats the route to take. I would love to have a list like yours (except 6" lift and 35" tires on the Z71). But I am just getting done with school this year and dont expect to be making that much money.

I plan on selling my Tahoe in the spring and getting a 91+ Cherokee for $1,000<. That'll be cheap, kinda easy on gas, and old enough I can pound the guys out of it and not feel bad.
This way I can spend the money on either another Camaro or GTO in the spring. After having a 4x4 this winter, I know I will always want one - but I love my cars, and they are more important. So a beater 4x4 is good enough so I can have a nice fast car and still get around in the winter.

i know exactly what you are going through i live by canton... its like 20 minutes from sioux falls, i love hunting and fishing but i love camaros/fbodies, but i bought a nice camaro then just get a beater 4x4 to take hunting, it works, and you dont care if you throw a bloody deer in back and go in the mud and hit a rock with it you just keep going thats my perspective on it

If you're getting out of school, I wouldnt jump that overboard with 2 vehicles.
Pickup the beater or a semi-beater and hold onto that for awhile. See how your finances go and then worry about getting your "fun" car in the summer. The GT500s are gonna be out sooner than you think, and Im sure there's gonna be some people getting rid of their LS1s for 'em. Might be able to find a better deal then, and at least then you'll have more of a steady cash flow for mods
Just another option
