Just wait man. DO NOT get an LT1 for that much. You'll be screwing yourself in the *** if you buy it.
Seriously look on here and autotrader. I bought my Formula and it was 500 miles away. Paid someone to deliver it to me and it was totally worth it. Screw settling for a car, especially a sports car.

Both are pretty close to you if I mapped them out right.

Ok just to give you some advice cuz i was kind of in the same boat.... I was 19 when i first bought my ls1, i was working 2 part time jobs and attending county college, i saved up every week to get the car i wanted, it took about a year, but it was worth it (also i sold my truck to help with the purchase of my camaro) . You just gotta be patient. Every day i was looking on autotrader, craigslist, ebay, until i found the right car. I drove 6 hours to get the car, and i couldn't be happier. Just save your money and buy when the time is right

I flew to Atlanta from Memphis to pick mine up. Asked the right questions, got better pictures, took the gamble and did it. Don't regret it one bit. If you're worried about not being able to personally inspect it, I'm sure someone from here would be more than happy to go check it out for you.
Don't settle. If you're going to do that, get a cheap *** beater and drive it until you find what you're looking for. Cherokees go for less than a grand all day.

Yea I agree with merv! The 5.3 is a stout motor with some tuning. my silverado pulled a 05' gtp from a dig awile back. The only mods are cai, 3.73(factory), base tune! I agree 100,000mi stock lt1 for 8k is excessive. Keep lookin for a ls1, I found mine two weeks ago in the lsx f/s section. Good luck!

yeah the 5.3 aint bad. my dad had it in his old sierra before he got an 08 diesel. it was pretty beastly for 8" of lift and 37's lol
i could imagine the 5.3 is even better in a light pickup like the colorado. imagine if they offered it in a single cab :O

But to the OP., dont go backwards. Wait for an LS1. LT1's are great and I love them but if you have had an ls1, you dont want an lt1.
