looking in to ls1 - insurance and more well im looking at some ls1's .. just looking at insurance rates and more but i had my dad call in and check the rates and it would be around 150 a month for insurance on an ls1 and 140 for a svt lightning - im leaning more towards an ls1 plus better gas mileage on the ls. is that a pretty good price for insurance a month? considering im 18 years old?

$150 a month for full coverage?! How old are you dude? That's a pretty sweet deal, I'm 25 and I paid State Farm $146 for full coverage (accident free) before I switched to Progressive. I pay a lot less than that now, but that's not for full coverage anymore... that's for 50,000/100,000 with limited tort and $500 deductible.

thats for a 2002 firebird formula - do you think it would be slightly cheaper if i went with a lesser year - like 99-00?
oh ya edit - i was looking in to country insurance / progressive / allstate

Im 24 and pay just under a hundred a month for my 99 SS with a 250 deductible on everything. Its classified as my secondary car though since my trucks my regular driver. My last ticket was a speeder 18 over, about 4 years ago. You can actually save $ on insurance putting a second car on as your primary car with liability only sometimes.
Talk your dad into putting it in his name as a secondary car fopr him with you as a driver. Rates will plummet and if anything did happen you can say you asked to borrow the car for the day and he let you.

This is the real reason they stopped making these cars. The guys that they appeal to the most can not afford the insurance.
I'm an old dude, full coverage, good driver record, married and live in the boonies, 55 dollars a month with Allstate.
I would be willing to pay more if I could be young again!

I'm 33/single with no accidents ever and no tickets in 14 years and I pay $100 a month for my 2000 Z. Which I think is ridiculous. I only paid $75 for my last vehicle (a brand new 3/4 ton crew cab gmc) and it was worth 3 times what my z28 is.

LOL, get married and it really goes down. I have three vehicles on my insurance. New Honda CRV, 01 Dodge ram 4x4, and my 2000 S10. Including my homeowners insurance I pay about $250 a month. 
Not too bad I would say. 27 years old. No at fault accidents in last 10 years and no speeding tickets in last 4. Wife is the same. Oh $250 ductable on comp and collision. Midgrade coverage for liability ect ect. Oh rental reimbursements also
