Not to get into a pissing/flame match, but maybe when the new Camaro came out and it wasn't quite what they thought it would be (I'm one of those people) folks may have started buying GTOs = more demand = price increase. Dollar for dollar, unless you're just a diehard Camaro fanatic (like me), I'd take a GTO over a 2010 Camaro.

i was in your shoes a couple of times and i totally understand the "thinking of selling" feeling. Truth is, as badass as your car is, you may not get what you desire for your car.
Many people will just take your car as a 95Z with high mileage... Also, speaking from experience, you will definitely regret of letting go of your car.
Even though i have a z06 now, If i could do it all over again, i wouldnt get rid of my factory freak 2k2 t/a which dynoed 370 rwhp 385 tq with full bolt ons + tune... should have slept on that thought... but thats just my opinion
Whatever you decide to do, i wish you best of luck.

I wasnt talking exact dollars and cents...what I meant was if I was going to spend around what figures you guys are talking about Id grab a C5 or a Termi over a GTO in a heartbeat...All the cars in dicussion are generally the same cost. Im picking up the parts for the front end swap today, and hopefully Ill beable to swing something power wise before the weather gets good.

Performance can always be upgraded. IMO you look at the car more than the times you go WOT.
Before you do the ls1 front swap, look into 6LE's products for 98-02 fbodies.
There's things like Targa Top(replaces ttops with a single top, its up to you if you want to get rid of the center bar or not).
Wide Body conversion for rear fenders, Its still under construction (think Dick harrel camaro)
Front Bumper
Rear Bumper with CME (think the 35th anni SS exhaust). Or Just buy the CME Lip that molds to your existing bumper.
All of these can be bought as separately so its easy on the dough too.
There's interior mods: a double din radio brings our cars into the current decade.
Racing Seats or just different leather for seats.
If you are feeling brave after that (and don't blame me for making you spend your year's salary on these ideas
) new wheels and custom paint.

...ive already found 90% of the parts I need for the front end conv. dirt cheap from some local members. As for the interior ive upgraded the stereo, and got nice seat covers...Only thing that ill need to do is fix the sagging headliner and the crack in the dash and the interior will be straight.
