Default If you ordered your car......

new, would you order a Z28 instead of a SS, or a formy instead of a Firehawk/WS6 depending on the mods you have done currently?

The only difference is I would have ordered my Firehawk in Black. That's the ONLY thing I would change. Maybe I would have payed the extra for a 1LE car. But other than that one definate thing and the other possible thing that's it.

I've got all the stuff that came with the car. But I would have gotten the car brand new so that I could have avoided the one or two flaws I've found in my car.

Like the coke stains I had to clean off my carpet. I would have like to have avoided crap like that.

You can order a Portfolio from SLP if you want one. I know what you mean though. Once I bought mine, I was on eBay bidding on dealer Firehawk brochure and articles for my year...and I ordered new floormats from SLP just to have them (they were being discontinued).

If I could have it to over again??? Hmmmmm, I have three "if, ifs and butts were candy and nuts" options.

1. Order a purple 98 Formula 1LE
2. Order a 99 orange Camaro 1LE
3. Order a 2000 Formula 1LE

My mods are not really a consideration in my picks as I've kept everything I have removed or changed. I can put it back to stock anytime I want. I don't think that these cars will be anything like the 60s and 70s muscle cars as for as collectabiliy but I could be wrong. Look at the Bandit TAs right now, heck those cars are starting to go up and they were slugs. I just like having something that's somehow different.

As far as #3 is concerned- yea, yea,,, I know, there were no 2000 1LE cars made. I've heard that the option was open long enough in 99 {maybe even in the first few months of 00} that the car would have been considered a 2000 model. That way I would have had pretty much one of the rarest factory 4th Gen F-Bodies out there.

I really didn't address your question that well, maybe I sorta did in the 1st paragraph after my picks.

BTW, you have a PM.
