^ I THINK he means compared to a GTO. A WS6 around here is nothing spectacular, but they are quite unique every day. I see one MAYBE once a month

The Trans Am would probably have the fewer of the miles of the two in twenty years since you don't drive it often:p consider that +It sounds like you just want a "fun" car to go along with your truck. I'd keep the TA. It would be a hell of a weekend cruiser. the gto.. meh I see enough cavaliers as it is.

No Brainer, in 20 years the WS6 will be worth insane dollars.

I would pick the WS6 too, but I have to disagree with this statement.

An average/higher mileage WS6 with lots of modifications, that the OP has valued currently at $8-10k in an earlier post, is not going to be worth anything even remotely close to "insane dollars" in 20 years.

Completely agreed. Most collectible vehicles lose a lot of long-term value once they are modded and exceed about 25K miles. The T/A wasn't exactly rare either.

Ok guys so the TA is gone. I don't own the GTO yet, but I am ready to buy when mom is ready to sell...I think. I asked for $9,800 and got $9,000. I think it was a fair price for both of us. To be honest, now that I have a bunch of cash in savings, I'm second guessing getting the GTO at all. I think I'm going to focus on getting air conditioning and a 5 speed in the superbee. After I sold the TA, I dusted off the superbee, charged the battery, and drove it around for the day. God I miss this car. Now that it can be in the garage at home, I will drive it more.

Thanks everybody for your responses. Only time will tell what and if another ride end up in my garage.
