Unexpected results, heh.

As of now, I my insurance is $208 a month, I have a good student discount which makes the grand total $108 a month. As of right now, my parents owe me some money, so they're paying half of it for a couple months.

im 19.. almost 20. i work full time at a hospital 40 hours a week. i own a 99 SS, that i pay 411 a month in car payments for... and 420 a month for insurance payment with the General. Then you add in gas, and its just a little bit north of 900 bucks a month just to drive that car! I was sad about losing my license at first, but now that ive lost it, i have so much extra money! my parents took over my insurance cuz i can no longer be insured... and im selling my car... but i got a girlfriend right before i lost my license, so im still broke!

GET IT MAN!!! Im a 22 yr old college student and before i started my own tmobile store i was broke most of the time but with a 99 TA, but when i ran out of cash i looked for a couple bucks everywhere i could, I put $2.38 unleaded,took the ttops off and just cruised and all my struggles were worth it. Dont get a 20k car but u can find a good deal for about 9k with 85k milesfor a z and trust me it will all be worth it, if you dont get it now u may never get it!!!Lifes full of surprises and its too short to have never owned a ls1. Yeah ull struggle sometimes but when ur older u may still struggle might as well do it for a good reason!

Don't put money into a car you don't want...and by looking at your gameplan, it seems that you don't really want your V6, but would rather have an LS1. With that said, just get the V6 safe and road-worthy, and put away your pennies for a LS1

Again, I can't see the hatred for the v6; it really annoys me. Half the people say the v6 is worthless, but its really not a bad deal. Anyone that says they get better gas mileage with the LS1 over the series II surely hasnt driven both cars the same distance more than once. I own both a v6 and v8. the v6 gets waaaaaaay more mpg than the v8, every time, no fail. You want to save a buck, then get the v6. The only drawback is that half the users on this site will rip you to shreds if you dont get the ls1. /rant

A thought I get about 220mi to the tank. If you where going to get a 3.8 think about a M90 supercharger. I was going to do the same thing but thought about it and really wanted a LS1. Im glad I did I think you will be beter off with an LS1. Or getting a 3.8 and then a drop in a ls1. But dont get a car that you will only wish you had somthing else. I really wanted a 6 speed found real good deals on autos. But knew that it would not be the same. If your going to speed the money on a car get whats going to make you happy not wishing you had somthing else.

its actually a 346...but we'll forgive you. it depends what you do with it. if you do any driving at all on the highway these things are actually great. dads auto got 27-28 on the highway and about 17 around town. if you keep your foot out of it they get as good of gas mileage and better on the highway than a v6. my 6spd...if i keep my foot out of it...it can get 18-20 around town and 33 at 80 mph on the highway but if i keep it around 60 itll get 29.

On an 600 mile stretch to Orlando, averaging 80 mph the entire way, I got 27 mpg(M6 99 SS)...with an engine with over 100,000 miles on it. With long tube headers and exhaust, these cars have seen 30 PLUS mpg on the highway. In the city, with 1,3,5 shifting, you can get 20mpg. these cars get just as good(and in many cases better) mileage than the current coupes and sedans out. im an enviromentalist of sorts and some of my love for these cars is how theyre so efficient for making so much power. Its the piece of **** rolling brick fucktard SUVs that are the problem these days.

I got too many tickets! Exhibition of Speed + >100 MPH speeding ticket = 1999 SS M6 FOR SALE

Joe00SS

i would definately go with the ls1 its so freaking awsome i get between 220 and 250 to a tank in my 2000 SS! Best choice

Z-Convert

Why are you even asking?

Delux247

Everytime I go on a road trip and put my TA in 6th gear I get 31 MPG... but that's on a road trip, 100% freeway driving at 75 MPH in 6th gear... I get complete **** for mileage around town because I have a tendency to beat on her, I think my last time I filled up with purely city miles it was something like 15 MPG.

BOTTOM LINE: Go for the LS1, there's no substitute.

V6 vs V8.. It's going to hurt you when you come up to a stop light, see a mustang next to you, he will think "ohh Im gonna get killed..." then suddenly he leaves you in the dust, and his girl is like "wow honey you finally won!!"

It'll crush you

Haha.

Ok reality If it is simply a gas mileage concern and a car to get you from pt a to pt b, then dont bother with either option Get a different car with great gas mileage

SImply take the v6 for a test drive or drive a friends, then go take the v8 out for a spin. Once you wipe the smile off your face, and when your hands stop sweating and foot stops tapping the pedals after your first WOT run. Then you decide which you want )

Buy the LS1.

ebear

I disagree completely, now is the PERFECT time to have an LS1. Nothing better than having a nice car and being young

thats right! although i spent a LOT of money driving my car... it was worth it! all the races, all the top speed runs, all the looks, all the diehard chevy guys, and the guys that just say 'that thang gota big block?', it makes it all worth it. and wouldnt you rather look good driving it when youre young, rather than be an old man and be seen as having a midlife crisis? no offense to the ol folks of course!

bottom line..
get it, have fun, and be careful! ...dont get it taken away from you like i did!
