Default New Car

well i recently lost my z28 unfortunately but the good news is insurance fully covered it plus more. i got 9grand for the 97 and have been saving up since working this summer. I know most everyone on this forum is partiall towards f-bodies but i need to get a new car and am not sure as to what to get.

I would like something new (98 or above) and that will be a good daily but can eventually get into the 11s on street tires.

I would really like an SS and i have enough money but im not sure if i want the same interior etc over again. If anyone has any suggestions to a car that fits these guidelines or even if someone is sellin a car leave a comment.

ps i really want an SS but i need some reassurance.

Definitely go for an SS or WS6. You forget about the quality of the interior once you mash the gas pedal to the floor.

redo the interior, get some corvette seats, custom dash, roll cage, etc. to spruce it up a bit.

I used to think Camaros were ugly as hell, but I met a friend at school with a Z28 w/ SS hood, I like the way it looks a little more everyday. I think you'd be happy with a WS6 or an SS. Although pontiacs interiors are 10x better IMO

I'd go for a WS6, just because I prefer the looks over an SS.
