RPM WS6

ZO6 is a sports car, not a muscle car.


Not really. High mileage, decent condition LS1 Camaros can be had for the same price as a decent fox body these days. And the Camaro starts off quite a bit quicker. As for the price of mods, the LS1 is still more expensive to make fast, for the most part. N2O being the exception.

Factory assmebly line shocks were orange colored DeCarbons. Can't remember what color the SLP Bilsteins were though.... they may have been yellow. But that would only have come on a Firehawk or SS with SLP suspension options.

the SLP bilsteins are yellow and an aqua blue or blue green color.

the only way these cars are overpriced is depending on your location. out here its pretty hard to come up on something from the 98-02 years for 5k-8k.

Z ROADSTER

If you get a Stang the early fox bodies with 5.0 were pretty light especially the LX version. Personally I like the 94-95 years because that was the last years for the infamous 5.0 which can be modified to the hilt. 96-98 were the real turds unless you got a Cobra.99-2004 were low 14.0 second cars again except the Cobra. I think a nice clean 98 Cobra convertible with an 04 blown Cobra motor would be the " tit's " ! It would easily sucker punch a bolt-on SS or Z/28 . But your talkin big bucks . If your talkin close to stock DD the Z/28 simply cannot be beat for the money . You could always do a Cobra clone though .

It all depends what you want, I paid 18,000 for a 2000 Camaro SS (loaded) that was an auto (A4) with a HARDTOP. I looked for 6 months and before finding the color an options I wanted. Didn't think I would ever come across it without traveling half way across the country. The car had 2800 miles and was bone stock and still had the new car smell in it. Had to drive 8 hrs.

For the color option I wanted and the fact I wouldn't settle for anything but a Hardtop it was worth it IMO. I don't plan on selling it anytime soon either.

After spending over 20k in mods and professionally installing everyone one of them, detailing, painting, no cobbled up nothing I wouldn't take much less than I have in it. 40k will buy alot of car - no argument there. But it has to be what you want. And right now I am into LS powered, late model straightline performance (1/4) style with A/C. IMO, it is a better chassis/driveline to drag race compared to a Vette or GTO.

These cars are expensive to build, but having a low 10 second car you can drive with comfort, looks and A/C is not something you can have for much less than 40k anyway. It all depends what you want. This car looks better than showroom NEW today, and runs a hell of alot better.

Black on Black M6 WS6 Trans Am, 2000. Bought it a few months ago, 14,5. Worth every penny, I mean, find me a faster car for the price.

Damn i pad 14.5 for my 2000 TA a few years back and it was in mint condition.

I don't classify the Z06 as a musclecar at all. It's a sports car. Never was a musclecar. Never will be. Musclecars have four seats and a trunk.

I'm not looking to blow money on a Stang right now, so I think I'm going to go with what people here are advising and get a dd till middwinter and then pick up a car.

I will still look for one till then, but with less interest as I hope to now pick up a 4th gen Maxima and use it to get around and collect the abuse till I get my desired car.

TheRealSpdFreak

The coupe is my main consern. As for what I'll be using the car for, I like to just know I could own the road if I have to, and be able to take it to the 1/4 track and once or twice a year to roadracing, to gain skill for the highway and twisties (I know the car wasn't meant for that).

TheRealSpdFreak

You got a great deal!

I would like a black car, but being in the used car market means that you sometimes have to settle for something you might not like on first glance and have it grow on you. I'll take a peuter, but thats it for my color choice.

i think you get alot for the price of a camaro. granted on websites like this, people tend to overprice their cars, because they feel it is MORE special than the next guys.

Around here F-bodies don't seem to bad to me. 98-99's can be had quite cheap actually. But I do tend to notice 01-02's are the most over priced since they are newer and have the better intake along with other little things. Although that still doesn't justify the huge price gap I see between the two groups at times. But eh....I really don't look that much. So I bet that there are deals on newer F-bodies you just have to check constantly and catch em before everyone else does.

64k miles when I bought it, very good condition and unmodded except for a flowmaster muffler and a electric cutout I had to finish installing (he left it open all the time). Not at all how I'd go about doing exhaust, but eh.

Considering what I wanted, a black on black WS6 with a T56, I didn't do too bad. It was pretty specific and the car was really worth less (market value-wise), but I don't mind. It was worth it, I wouldn't settle for anything else. Lots of friends were saying buy a TA and get the WS9 hood, or a WS6 one, but I can't STAND clones (no offence to any of you out there ). I have no T/C, didn't notice when I bought it and sure don't care . But it was a pretty specific car, I wasn't going to go too far (I drove from Atlanta to mid-Virginia and back in a day to get it), and I'd looked for almost a year.

Y'know, you get what you pay for. It's exactly the car I wanted, and I make enough at my job to make payments and mod it, too. Not doin' bad for a 16 year old, eh?

i think they are one of the best deals...i bought my 99 TA for 6k with 120k on the clock. thats a real good deal i think but i think you can get a camaro or trans am around 8k. For what these cars have and how good they respond to mods, you cant go wrong. What do i know tho im just a carpenter

The best performance per dollar ratio of any car on the road, as they were new and used. Overpriced? Hell no.
