How long do you plan on keeping your F-body? As each day passes, I wonder how long i will keep mine, and if its worth it?
It's my weekend car, so I'd like that car to be quick.
I could keep it, and turn it into a nice 1,000 hp street car ($$$), or sell it and get something in the future- C6 Z06, Nissan GT-R. But they are expensive and wouldn't be able to mod them much.
Also the new Camaro is coming out, and who knows, maybe a new Firebird in 2011-2012.

I voted 3-5 years , that is how long I kept my 98 white SS. I had done a bunch of work to it then decided I wanted a c5 Z06. So I sold the SS and got a MY Z06, then after a couple of years I decided that it was not big enough and didn't have a back seat, and wanted something that was more luxury. So I opted for a CTS-V, which rarely gets driven, but when I do it makes me know the reason why I have it. This car I will probably pay off and then get the new camaro in 09.. I really like the new z06, but I can wait and get the camaro and have both the V and camaro in a couple years.

I voted forever, i'll soon have the cam i want in it and once i get it tuned right, i'm gonna do true duals and then quit modding it for a while. It's already paid off so i dont think i'll sell it anytime soon. I'll prolly keep it unless it gets totaled. Then i'd try to get a C6

Well I voted forever. That will be for my next 4th Gen F-body though. I had to sell my 01 Z28 because my wife is going to school 2 hours away. Needed a 4 banger that was good on gas.

Bought my car new in 01-WS6. Has 26000 miles on her and she stays in the garage. Will NEVER get rid of her. I`m planning to buy a new Camaro or the Firebird when they come out. I will have both!! You can see in my sig what I have done. She flys!!

Unfortunately, I just got rid of mine....
. I was planning on keeping it, but could no longer afford two car payments. I did a 2 for 1 swap and picked up the truck in my sig. I'm going to miss my Z though.
