Default Car buying advice..

Okay so as everyone knows I've been off of the forum since I sold my black 02 ws6, ever since I have regretted it. I bought a 04 acura rsx to help save gas because I moved further away from my job AND out on my own. This car is nice and I have owned a four cylinder before but man, it's just too much of a power loss. I want to get on the highway and I floor it and it just kinda hesitates and sits there and everyone passes me up and bullies me around. It has a little cool air intake on it, I think it's AEM which adds a little bit but barely noticeable of course. I have only made three payments on it and I am already thinking about what my next car will be.
I don't really want to go back to have a ls1, I dropped SO MUCH money into the last one to get a decent amount of power and I won't have that extra cash *or time* for endless mods. I like the older muscle cars from the 60s to 70s but from what I've found in my price range they seem to be massive motors with not a lot of horsepower. I am really needing advice and pros and cons on what I should go with next. I would rather stay with chevy/pontiac because that is all I have ever known really. My grandfather works at the general motors in arlington so I have to stay loyal! lol
Any thoughts or suggestions?

OH and by the way, I never got a ticket while I had my 83 z28, my 00 z28, my 99 ws6 or my 02 ws6...but I just got a ticket yesterday for speeding in my rsx! hahaha..

I say get what you love. If you love GM and you love LSx cars... get another one. No matter what, if you need your fix, you need your fix. Either that or you'll keep buying other stuff and wanting to come back like you are now. Go with what you know dude.

I don't care for the "new" gtos they remind me too much of the g6, my grandparents have one and I really don't like that car. I don't want a v6...
I would buy another ls1 if mods had already been done on it, but the problem is ya never know when someone has done them right or totally botched it...
