Approaching $30k in mods to a once-factory-v6 96 Firebird.....yeah, I'm attached to the car. There were a few times along the way that I though "Why not just buy a 'Vette?", but this car has been in the family since new....and NOBODY around where I live will have anything like it. It will always continue to receive refinements and evolve, but that's just part of owning a performance car. Not to mention, I will have a 'Vette eventually anyway! LOL And to to OP...no, it does not make me feel like a "rockstar" LOL ....but it will definitely be a whole lot of fun.

all i can say is if you have to ask, you probably dont get it.
my next fun car is probably going to be a porsche 911 but my bird isn't going anywhere.
ill probably be up for the most random car collection, a subaru legacy, T/A and a 911. the worst part is the legacy is probably going to be the most fun to drive too

My 2000 SS was my dad's. Never was much of a Camaro fan except for the 1st gens (had a 69, sold it to go back to college). But when my Dad gave me his Camaro, I was still kind of iffy, until I started working on it, now it's like, something I need to keep forever, in his memory (he still alive, but we don't know how much longer he has)

AWD burnouts...
my car is not your standard legacy. its about half way there to getting the drivetrain out of an wrx/STi into it. considering its lighter than a WRX/ STi, it should be one fun ride. it also handles amazing, now its going to have the power to match the brakes/ suspension, all while keeping the sleeper look i want. car has been paid off since 2002 and needed some engine work so i bought a wrecked wrx to swap everything over to give it abit more pep.
grandma never had it so good

mine isn't going anywhere. its one of the only things i enjoy in life. I don't drive it through the winter because up here cars get torn to **** by the salt they put down and mine is a 2 owner southern car (i'm no 2 that is) and had only seen a light dusting of snow in north carolina when the first owner had it. it came from hawaii and spent barely a year in NC and then the last 4 or 5 years before i bought it in S.FL where i bought it in 04. You don't see many nice 4th gens, especially LT1's around here.

Eh i've driven a C6, ridden in a C5 and sat in a '10 camaro and none were as comfortable as my T/A and i don't think any are as unique. C5/C6 vettes are everywhere and so are the new 10 camaros.
