Getting medical advice would be my advice as well. And comming from a GM guy.... ARE YOU NUTS... Trade a great car like a Trans AM in on a found on road dead Lighting????
You do need help.....
Maybe if you were trading for a Silverado... but only if you were trading in a Mustang

yea my neighbor has one, they are quick but right now he only gets 210 to the tank and it takes about $90 to fill up.... so to answer your question, if you want a slower car that gets worse gas milage.... then yes trade

I didn't mean to degrade the Camaro, so I edited the post and changed Camaro to say Mustang 
I'd trade a Mustang for a Silverado ANY DAY!!!!!!!

GO FOR IT! If its what you want then do it. Drive it and make sure its what you want. I really liked Lightnings until I drove one. They look awesome, but they are terrible in corners. Honestly this is the wrong place to ask for advice about buying a Ford.

Most have to be fully built with KB or Whipple S/C to beat a N/A F-body with boltons. Buts still its comparing apples to oranges.

I was a big fan of the Lightnings till i realized what it took to make them really go fast and not just dyno queens...i have a freind that has a lighting with exhaust/CAI/Tune and he raced my buddies stock Infiniti G35 and got waxed from a roll and couldnt hold him off in a 1/4 mile race from a dig...sorry but to me that pathetic....
