man if you have probs getting the kid out of the back seat it is only going to get worse with a lsx 
trust me...anyway, go with a good fam car and then rock the fbody in a couple years or the fbody you want a good price and beater on the same lot and finance for one

Well i'm getting rid of the 240 for a 4dr the f-body would just be a project-toy. It's alot easier for me to get something and fix it than to go out and drop all that cash at once.

im going to go against the grain and tell you if you want an f-body find a lt1 in decent shape if you find a good running one like i did thats pretty stock it wont be far off from a stock ls1 f-body
when my lt1 was stock stock ls1 cars would outrun me but not by very much my car was trapping about 101 when it was stock and at the same track the same day stock ls1 cars were only trapping about 103
the nice thing about the lt1 cars is that they are cheap!! and since they are already so cheap you could ****** one up and sell it down the road for not much less than you paid for it and they are still very fun cars, dont let the haters tell you the opti is a piece either as long as you dont expect a distributor to last the life of the car or the water pump to last forever you are good to go

Well if you have to have something to play with and work on, and have the time and ability to work on it, then you could pick up something that needs some work. Otherwise save $9k and it will buy ya a pretty decent ls1 if you look around some
I second that as long as it has an ls1 in it

get the 4 door, save for 2 years, and get the fbody as a weekend car. by the time 2 years go by and the new camaro comes out and all, the prices of ls1 f-bodies is going to decline.
word of advice: the backseat of a fbody is useless.
