i have a grand national but cant decide if i should sell it or night. i like the car but ive always wanted a trans am. id be getting an LS1 T/A with a six speed. the trans am seems like it would be a lot more fun then the GN. The gn is very fast but it kinda gets old just having to hit the gas and go straight.
what do you guys think?

 

KEEP the gn AND get a trans am. if i had one of those i would never let go of it. the couple of people that i know that did still regret it. why couldnt you have both?

 

Dont sell your car man. You will miss it. Its a really rare car and a collectors item. Especially if you have put a lot of work into it. Just save up for a while and try to find a nice 98 or so trans am. They can be had for well under 10k.

 

I'd keep the GN. Much more rare a car and it will probably always hold it's value. Save up if you can't get an fbody now. Prices on these are dropping all the time. Best time to buy an fbody is in the winter NOT the spring/summer anyway IMO.

 

swap in a t56! I LOVE those cars, but would never own one because of the automatic.

 

I say keep the GN. Save up some money, and buy a TA.
2 bad *** cars > 1 badass car.

 

Dude, you came to an LS1 sight and we're still telling you to keep your Grand National. Dont get rid of it, you'll regret it forever.

 

id have to say u can get that GN to handle pretty good so u dont go stright only. swap a t56 in it and thatll make the turbo more fun to drive and then get some 2" drop spring with some stiff shocks and stiffer sway bars. also get better control arms and all that kinda **** itll handle pretty well enought to have some fun with also some 17's will help for those wably tall tires

 

What are you looking to get for the GN? Who did all the work on it? Miles?

I've been looking into getting a GN. If I were you though, I'd keep the GN and pick up a cheap '98 LS1 T/A.

 

Another vote too keep it. Nothin quite like a GN.

 

I think you should sell it...........to my gf, she wants one real bad

 

Keep the GN..put in a T56...save for a T/A ....

seriously?...

i got a low-mod 98 ws6 with 56k miles. i'd work a deal with ya in a heartbeat if didnt still owe money on the darn thing. i love it to death, and pretty much stock its fun to drive, but i just feel like something a little different.

a t/a is cool and looks tough. but i'm with everybody else here on the board. keep the gn. i'm sure you can work that suspension to handle the turns just as good as a ws6 does.

 

Keep it! Keep it! And then buy a TA

 

keep the GN !!! a classic and rare car.. you dont see many of those around! and i forgot to say a bad *** car.

 

wow seriously dont get rid of it... TA's are a dime a dozen. Im sure you can pick one an older one for around 10k. Keep the GN and buy a TA

 

Guess I'm going to go against the grain here. Ditch the 1980's box on wheels and get yourself a nice LS1.

 

Word. That thing is u-g-l-y.

 

Don't sell the GN. Keep it and save up for a TA. Later on you'd hate it if you sold it.
