Congrats - you gotta do what you gotta do. You'll love the LS2 and the better build quality of the goat.

How the hell did you get 10K for your car? Did you trade it in? Private sell?

At least you got another GM Performance car, its understandable, priorities change. If I couldnt keep my LT1 when I got a daily driver it would have been gone a very long time ago.

I think the LT1 cars are too much of a PITA. Mine's been giving me fits for more than 6 weeks. After two new optis, a new coil, and a new ICM. Now it won't even start, probably a fried PCM. Although I love the looks and handling of my TA, I wish I would have spent a little more money and bought an LS1 TA.

Certainly a nice car, but I bet a clean C6/LS2 would still be well over $10k more than the goat. It comes down to what you want to pay for IMO.
