If you're bored of the body style, you have to do option #1, IMO.

I know what your saying but if your sick of the car I would try and go with a vette or a firebird. Its not that big a change form your car to an SS cosmeticly.

Still cant stop stairring at that sig. 383lt1impala lol.

Full boltons? you still need heads and cam. then you will be satisfied if not throw some juice on that bitch. I wouldn't trade the car in unless you are going to de-mod your Z. why not just get a loan and get a ls1 SS and keep your Z s a daily driver?that's what I would do.

the only reason a having a true ws6 is good is for the resale value, back in the day the badges actually meant something, not in this case tho, either way, I hope you end up satisfied with you desision
