I am 15 and have a POS Jeep wrangler that barely runs. I dont know if i should get a m6 Z28 or a m6 ws6. Should i just save my money to get a ws6 or should I buy a Z28 and then later on get a ws6. I have my eye on a white camaro with ground effects or a SOM ws6...both with t-tops. Would insurance be higher on one than another, and about how high would insurance be?

I'd go with the WS6. SOM is a great color, and if you have your heart on a WS6 but get something else as 'filler', you'll probably lose more money swapping cars again later. Hold the Jeep together for a couple years while you save up, and in the meantime you'll have it to get more experienced at driving with, plus your insurance will be less expensive the older you are when you get the f-body. A Formula/TA would be higher on insurance than a baseline Camaro, but I doubt the difference would be very much.
