since all 3 options had a "33.33%" i had to vote..... and i say go with "C". Thats what I did. I just saved a little and paid cash for a fairly low mileage 6 speed LT1, and just sold it a year later...and now i have two ls1's. my advise to you is invest a little in a nicer lt and save save save the rest.

The best choice is to save now and get what you really want later cause it will be worth it in the long run.

I vote roller so you can build it up from nothing. New, bad *** everything. Plus, you get to teach your kid about car stuff, when they get old enough.

You can build when you would be saving, and make the car of your dreams, with the peace of mind knowing that everything on the car is done right (unless you didn't do something right..)
