If I had to sell my LS1.... With the recent bouts Ive been having with this hawk of mine im starting to wonder if I should finaly give it up.
If you had to get rid of your F-body what would you get to replace it? Im thinking BMW M3 but for the $$$ im also thinking C5 Convertable.

What problems are you having with your car?
If you're considering a BMW, why not consider the GTO? I think the GTO is as close to a "sporty" BMW as GM gets, especially for the price (right now 0% for 72 months!). If you don't like that, I'd go for a 02-04 Z06 for sure.

I'd go for the C5 Vette. Z06 is going to be pricy, even after the new one's come out. Standard can be had at a steal though. Even now they aren't too bad. If I can't find my SOM M6 camaro hardtop, I'll probably go the C5 route.

I think Im just getting bored with the firehawk. Been driving an F-body for about 6 years now and I think its time to move on. Besides, Im already seeing that theres going to be problems getting parts in the future. Hell it took a month just to get a hood replacement.
My old man had a '00 C5 Convertable, and I LOVED that car. He sold two years later for a mustang. I havnt made up my mind yet. I'd like to get a BMW since its a bit more stylish, has more comfort items, and the engineering is top notch. However the I want to the power and speed so the M3 is the only way to go. But for the money I think I'd rather have a vette.
Definately not giving into the GTO. First of all I think it has no resemblence of the original. Second of all I think its pontiacs stab at the monte carlo on steroids ( a family sports car).

Also not to mention any of our cars will own an M3. My friend said he owned one in his Z28... I haven't found one that was willing to play yet
