I love cars that handle well. But I love my ls1 also. My trans am is a fun car, very sexy and quick. But it handles like **** so im in the market for another vehicle to fill that role. Won't get rid of my TA though. So I have to say 8

I give my car a 10.... thousand. It has had a lot of problems but you know what? It took the beating and still does what I really want in a car. The car has a lot of fun factor, gets some attention, and is comfortable on the drive to work. Plus, it is so easy to show off when I want to. I am taking the good with the bad.

How much do I love this car?

Wiper motor died, AC compressor died, clockwork spring froze and broke, taillights deformed, clutch worn out, new fuel pump, tires coming and going all in 40K miles.

I vote a 10. Ya know I got myself in trouble one time with the now fiance. I was with some friends and we were talking about love and my big mouth(encouraged by Jose and Jack) stated that I only have one love in my life and that is somthing my girlfriend would have to deal with. haha

I'd say a 6, which I know is low...but the car still has some front end issues, and some cosmetic issues. Once all the kinks are worked out, I'm sure it'll be a 10!

I say 8 untill I get my bodykit re-taped, my other two wheels PC'd and my headlight cover thingy repainted. Then it'll be a 10 for sure.

I have had a 96 Z28, 98 Z28, 01 Z28 and Currently own a 00 WS6 and 94 Z28.
I gave it 10, small stuff dosen't bother me, although the WS6 headlights are pissing me of. I beat the crap out of all them and they take it without a complaint.

I went with a 10 because this car was a present to me from my parents a few months after I was diagnosed with cancer. Still Drives as well as it did then, and even though its had a few problems here and there its taken my abuse with a grin and a that sound that only an LS1 can make. I am one of those people who will park in the back of the walmart parking lot to keep from getting scratched, yet i'll drive the thing up to 150mph!

This car has always had a special place in my heart, and serves as a constant example that good things can come from bad situations, and that a little patience often pays off in the end. Its also served me with a number of life lessons, and has taken so much of my money that I can't afford to go and do many of the stupid things that my friends do (100 dollar a night bar tabs). In many ways it keeps me out of trouble! lol

Most of the time I can't believe how much I love this car ... I've had five 68-70 GTO's and two LT1 Formula's, but this car blows them all away. On a beautiful night like tonight with the t-tops off, it's pure joy to drive. I agree with all the usual pluses about these cars, and in addition, as the driver, I find the interior completely comfortable and I love the layout of it (on Firebirds). But I can only give it an eight out of ten because of power window motors, headlight motors, t-tops flying off, rattles, and sometimes the ride feels rough to me. But those are minor inconveniences compared to the pleasure I experience every day driving this car.

It's a love/hate relationship. I hate the fact that everytime I turn around I have to fix something, don't have the money to put buy any mods, but then I love it.

i honestly can say i love/hate the car as well. I love the car for the fact that its the fastest thing i've ever had lightly modified i went 13.3 at 104 with a 2.00 60ft. I also love it for the fact that its the sexiest thing that was created. but i hate it for the fact that i got arrested becuz of it. its everything i've wanted but its the devil at the same time.

I give mine a 10. It was always my dream car. Yeah it had its share of problems (delay switch sometimes works, cat went bad on 11,000mi, power window motor went bad) but all my 5 cars from gm had problems during their years. The bang for the buck can't be beat when I paid 18,000 for my 1st car (98z24) and was slow and cheaply made. Then vettes are twice the price with the same engine (i know someone will flame me but im not putting vettes down). To me fbodys couldnt be beat for the price.

I gave mine an 8. I don't like the fact that everytime I do a modification it causes problems. The exhaust hits on the bottom of the car, the SES light won't go away, and the clutch doesn't hold at high RPM's. Simply put; I love my car, but my car hates me. So it gets an 8.

I would give it a 10, but it breaks too much, so that drops it to a 9.

Look at your mods. You've obviously significantly modified the car for drag racing. The more mods you do, the more chance you have of breaking things, having problems, ect.

If your car was bone stock, or just had a few bolt-ons, I'm sure you wouldn't think that.

If you wanna play, you gotta pay
