I'd keep the Trans Ams until you can afford a Vette somewhat comfortably. No need to get too deep into debt, not be able to afford it, then have to sell it or worse, have it repoed. A 98 TA with under 38K?! That sounds pristine. Be happy with a clean, kick *** Trans Am. I'm assuming the 94 is a DD. Still a hella better DD then I have.

yea you dont wanna get yourself too much in debt but also remember that money isnt everything and you cant take it with you so you just have to enjoy yourself

If it was me I would keep the 98, sell the 94 and save up a bit before buying a vette.....so you don't go broke trying to afford it. Also, if you like to mod cars remember that vette parts are going to be significantly more expensive than TA parts. I have a buddy who got rid of his Z06 for a WS6 because it's cheaper to make obnoxiously fast. Clutches, suspension parts, diffs, etc. are all pricey things to break and upgrade
