Would you trade a 96 V6 camaro for a 89 corvette?

Camaro is in great condition, 60K miles
Corvette needs seat covers and a rear speaker.
Assuming there is nothing wrong with either car, is it a fair trade?

goodness no. you know the camaro, it's in good shape and 3.8L V6's are VERY strong engines that last and last. you're gonna buy an old car that needs work done to it just to be made acceptable. it's likely high mileage and not only is the engine, transmission and everything else in worse shape than the V6's, you don't even know its history. you're gonna lose fuel economy, longevity and reliability for the sake of a few hp that won't even take you too much faster. keep what you have and if you want power, save up for an LS1 or even an LT1 car.

Yeah I was under the impression that the 89 vette had an lt1 engine. I looked it up when I got home and it didn't, I think I will stick to my camaro.
Thanks everyone for their input.

3.8 good
3.4 not

V-8 or bust in F-Bodies. I know some people enjoy modding them, but V-6s worthless IMO
I would make that trade in a damn second.

The Corvette is still a C4, and they have very nice suspension parts underneath. Just do some engine mods on it and put some ZR1/SS wheels on it. They make nice cruisers.

Haha yup i tell the same thing to my buddy with his v6 mustang, and muscle car is supposed to have a v8 in it. Not ragging on the V6's as I know there are guys out there that have made them fast but a muscle car should have a v8, get the vette!
