2000 Firebird gets my vote, huge aftermarket and can be had very reasonable. Big fan of the Firebird Formula's.Not sure why you are just considering 2000, look at the 2002's also and don't forget the Firehawk too. If you are getting rid of the truck then I would get the Silverado, and with the incentives they are offering now consider the GMC as well.

Just wondering... what would the value be of getting a ford focus rs?

by the way that is a really strange list... are you looking for a car to modify? Making a 1/4 mile car or what?

one more vote for the bird from that list, but if you are willing to spend around 35K, I would look at a C6 Z06 or a C5 +some mods.

From everything I have seen, you couldn't be upset with a 2016SS

Would I personally get one? Not until it says 1LE

Wow 37400 is dirt cheap as far as they go, you wont for sure get a final year close to that as more than likely most will be built to order so they don't get stuck with inventory. They are nice looking cars, haven't seen any at delaerships here drop under 41.

When you started being able to get A/C in 1LE cars, it kind of lost its clout.
