Need some advice Ok so Im looking to purchase my first sports car and I have always been a fan of the ls1 but im really looking for a low mileage car for around 13,000. So my question is what cars can I afford with low mileage that are close to the performance of a ls1?
You can afford a good LS1 for that price fairly easy, just be patient and wait for the right one to come along with all of the amenities your looking for. I bought my 1998 Firebird Formula with 64k miles and 6-speed for only 8,000. But i looked for almost a year for the right one

Thanks I've been looking for months and im trying to get a car with less than 40 k its got to last. I really love the ls1 trans am but the lt1 corvette also grabs my attention. So how does a lt1 vette stack up against an ls1 fbody?
A lt1 vette? Seriously?

If you want a vette, get a 97 and up ... There's some cheap C5's out there these days. If I could go back I think I might have bought one instead of my WS6, not sure though... woulda made it difficult in college without the back seat.
