Don't make us feel bad guy's. Some of us bought these cars in our 20's with jack **** for credit and being impatient.

I was recently 21 when I got mine. Very impatient, and score was awful. All the paperwork on the '02 GT being sold wasn't even done, yet.

sorry boys trying to get rid of mine currently 29xxx miles warranty till nov 2012 new tires asking 17k

i will miss it though i have to attribute most of what i know about cars to you guys and that car.

would keep it but i just cant justify having two v8 summer machines

i do have to say this part of ls1 tech is the most creative at problem solving because we have obstacles to work around. and i never would have guessed i would be seeing some of these mods a few years back.

It's the last one made so it's already a classic. I'll have it until I put historic plates on it. If fuel gets too expensive I'll brew my own ethanol.

I'm in it for the loooong haul. 2006 GXP paid off, 80,000 on the clock, used replacement motor with 20k and a rebult trans 5k ago. I'll never get out what I have in. Now I have a long commute and bought another car so it's not getting hardly any miles put on. Still have the origional motor with spun bearing just in case.

I can't see myself getting rid of it. I want another MC... a 70-72. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Yes, it is

I could probably sell my car for profit right now based on what used SS's are currently going for. But how could I sell it after doing all this work to it!

Sticking with it for the time being.
I initially leased the car and went waaay over my mileage... Purchased it a few months ago

It has been a good DD car overall. A few annoying things, but I do like the car.

I am in it for a few more years. I need to pay mine off and then think about a family SUV or truck to buy for me and the fiance. I still want to keep the Monte and mod the **** out of it (just because people don't expect a modded fwd v8 car). I will say this though, the 3.29's are my best mod next to the headers. I would recommend them anytime someone's tranny goes out. Dave gave me all the right parts to really waken up my car.

I just recently purchased mine, and haven't done anything other than a CAI yet. Planning on going full boltons, new tires and wheels, a tune, and possibly an intake swap... The car was purchased for for weekends and for driving when going out. Fact is Diesel Fuel is too expensive these days. Not mention it's too hard to keep the truck clean when I live and work on a farm, amongst working in construction too.
