why would you buy a LT4 firehawk and sit it in the garage for 9 years? I can't image paying tons of money for that car for it to just sit there under a car cover.

Because people are morons. I can't stand when people get Vipers and **** and drive it like 100 miles. Cars are meant to be driven, if you don't want to take it out, then don't buy it. That is a beautiful *** car though. Paint is BEAUTIFUL. 30,000 is still a little bit much.

Yeah, who would buy that car for $30000 when they can get a brand new LS2 GTO for just a couple thousand more? Or any other newer performance car. People dont realize that as engine technology comes along the older engines become less and less "bad ***" because there is so many more better cars and engines that are out on the market.

I undersand that, but you have to also look at the supply and demand of this type of vehicle. Only 29 made makes it very desirable, and will only fetch high dollars. Look at some of the rare Camaros or Cudas, they are fetching ridicluous dollars.

Yeah, it all depends on the purpose of the person buying it. If you are a collector or something and buy cars just for the **** of it so they can sit in your garage, this would be a badass car. But for the person who is going to buy the car to drive it, there are way better options for the price.

Dear 94greencamaro why spend a couple thousand more for a LS2 GTO when this LT4
Firehawk would smoke the **** of the GTO? Plus the Firehawk looks better anyways.

Yeah, some of them go for 160,000 if it's completely unrestored in factory condition, mint. Some of the prices are ****** crazy.

B/C that car will probably be worth a lot of money one day. Any car collector should look at that car to keep. Different strokes for different folks I guess?

I'd rather spend 30 grand on a used ZR-1 than a 97 car that's sat around drying out for 9+ years.
