'94-'96 Impala SS! Do I really need to explain? Wel I will just for S&G. GM has been very disapointing with its car offerings as of late. There are NO V8 rear wheel drive Cars (Corvette not withstanding). In order to get a rear wheel drive car with an LS1 I either have to goto Austraila for a Holden(nice cars) or spend 50 Grand on the new CTS with the LS1 that makes 400hp. I'm 27yrs old and in the Army . My pay check cannot support a $50,000 car. Now an all new REAR WHEEL DRIVE IMPALA SS would be nice. At around $30,000 I could do that. Or better yet since I'm a pontiac man, a REAR WHEEL DRIVE BONNIE with an LS1 Would be right on the money. They Tried with an under powered 4.3(6?) DOHC Caddy engine, but its still a front driver( and overweight mind you). I understand GM has to make its money, but how many of us would buy an Impala with an LS1. I'd say about everyone who ownes a Camaro, Corvette, or Firebird. Thats a HELL of a lot of people. If they could import a 30,000 holdens and slap an arrow on it and call it a gto(what sacrelige), they can do the same right here at home. Any way, I don't like driving a car that isn't ***** to the wall fast. When I come home(from Iraq) I'll be building a baddass T/A and an Imp. Ricers and Blue Ovals Beware.

For me, would be a lightly wrecked 01/02 TransAm to build into a dedicated drag car. However life(wife & kids) requires a more family friendly ride. So I would have to go with another Chrysler Minivan. My old 92 Town & Country has 164,000+ and still going, but it will be the next likely candidate for replacement.

Going to be getting a new car for the fiance to replace the '02 Santa Fe...a WRX or maybe an SRT-4. She wants a car and I say we need a 4 door w/ a turbo.

Well I just bought a new 400 EX in May, but I'm planning on selling it to get either the new 450R or the new 600RR from Honda. I really wanted the bike before the 400EX but Ins. was to much. Or if I could find one for the right price I wouldn't mind restoring a 66 Chevelle SS I will more than likely end up with the new 450R and lots more mods to the SS.

My next vehicle will probably be a 20k daily driver. I'm leaning towards the SRT-4 although with the Cobalt SS coming out, that might prove to be a nice alternative

If I had the money, I'd love to get a GTO or a CTS as a daily driver.

'04 Dodge Durango w/HEMI
or
'05 Chrysler 300 w/HEMI

Why? HEMI power, family friendly, and Employee Discount.

I'm looking to replace my 95 S10 beater. I've been test driving the new Colorado's & Canyon's, due to not being sure of their reliability yet. I will probably end up with an 04 RCSB stripper with a 5.3.

My next car (though won't be for a long time since I just got the GTP) will most likely be an avalanche... they look sweet and have awesome towing power to boot...

Sad to say but my next vehicle may be a ford. If GM doesn't step up the plate. GM perf is not keeping up right now.

But more likely will be a GMC dually to pull my boat/

My next purchase will most likely be a used 95-00 Blazer. These Fbodys are great cars, but they don't like the snow very much up here in the North! So I will be getting the 4x4 for winter use, and probably rainy weather too. Keep the T/A garaged in the nasty stuff.

My next new purchase will be either a GTO or the next Fbody.

My next purchase will be a truck. I need something that I can haul stuff around in and not have to be borrowing one or putting plastic down in the back of my SUV.
