Default Hmmm the Ideas

Ok so here it is tax time is coming up and I will be moving out of my apartment into a house with two firends around april ish. My idea is either get some fun parts like LT's and ORY maybe go on the bottle with my 00 Z28. Or..... I have been looking and found a 75 camaro with a 350 c.i and th350 tranny for $800. Now my question is should I get the second gen and dump my money into that? Or put money into my daily driver LS1?

ohhh the second gen I am going for a 383 stroker hoping for close to 500 rwhp I was shooting for 600 but I am thinking 500rwhp should be fine and still maintain some great tq numbers and get some good times.

I am going to guess you probably wont get much for $800. Buy parts for the car you already have.

Thats what Im thinking and well nothing beats the feel and smell of an old car. I still have to do my taxes and get my return from federal. they took out $2,200 since august last year so hopefully i get just about everything back. crosses fingers.

I want to do more to my car but smog is keeping me away. So I was thinking first gen camaro, then i can do whatever I want to it.
I am sure laws will prob get worst here and I wont be able to smog it at all. Plus its your daily driver, but some lt and nitrous would be cool too.

I say get the 75, but what you SHOULD do is just save money. The economy is going to get worse, no job is secure anymore.

Yeah I understand that I do have a government contracted job we do support for the counties that use our software for well fare. We just got 35 more counties this year to total 39 and the state passed a bill saying that all counties must be using this software in the next couple years, so.... we are not short on work we are getting busier.
