actually the only ls1 f-bodies that meet the criteria for the cash for clunkers is the a4. Since combined its makes 18mpg, and the m6 is combined for 19mpg.

Man this cash for clunkers is bullshit, On another level my mom an I went to a big chevrolet dealer today here in murfreesboro just to look at some of the new trucks id love to have, but cant afford There was a 89 Z28 white car in pretty good shape, thats going to be crushed. Tuned port 350 an all. So Sad. I was talking to them an they actually have a chemical that when they leave there they pour in the gas tanks an let it run for about 2 minutes an it locks up the engines an ruins the tanks, lines, an all. Its all bullshit

THey pour in a Silica Sand solution from what i understand, into the oil and then rev it until it seizes. Our government set this program up so that no one can make a judgement call on whether the engine should be saved and parted out. Just destroy it and lose money in the process. Honestly i think our government is no longer run by the countries most intelligent. It is run by the people who couldnt make it in big business and still wanted to make good money.

Oh, Get that hood and spoiler. Might be a Blackwing lid on there as well.

some A4 years will qualify. I tried a 98 LS1 with A4 and it qualifies becuase its rated at 18 mpg, the 2002 A4's dont qualify though because they are rated at 19. No M6 will qualify. Also, the 4500 is not on top of the trade, thats what they give you for the car. If your car is worth more than 4500, the CARS program does nothing for you.
