Default Ls1 for my girl?

So basically my girl wants a new car and is looking at 98-01 z28, a4, Right now she drives an 05 silverado, so she just wants something smaller and funner and after driving around in my car she wants one (newer of course) Is it a good car for a chick to drive ? reliable? safe? all that stuff. I only ask because i have no experience with lsx cars, only lt1's ?????

An LS1 auto is great for a girl and she will kill you if she can keep the gas pedel on the floor. But that is awesome good luck I think you should give her your car and take the LS1.

Depends on the chick, and how she drives. If shes already driving too fast, not paying attention... PROBABLY not a good idea.

My girl... not a good idea. Shes not a bad driver per-say, just timid. Having that much power is just not for her. Shes perfectly happy doing 5 under the speed limit or right at (drives me insane)... but thats where she is comfortable. The Camry is perfectly fine for her. lol

Besides... ONE of the cars has to be the parts runner... and fbodies although they can hold alot of little things, arent as good for big things. So we use her car. Great gas mileage too.

And im not a jealous person... but you know if i see a chick in a v8 fbody... especially M6, shes getting hit on! lol.

prepare for the leg humping any time you go somewhere. that ta that we now "share" was her car for a long time beforehand. we couldn't go anywhere (at the time i had an 00 z28) without 25 guys trying to make small talk about her car. haha. but she does make the black ws6 look good. ..really she makes anything look good.
