If you sold your car and had to buy a NON F-body what would it be. Think of working within your current budget.
I would like a late 80's BMW M3. With a 3.0 or 3.2 M3 engine. A Street Modified car. With flares and 245/17's. Or an E36 M3 for BSP. That one would depend on purchase price though. |

I'm actually planning on going back to an LT1/4 C4 Vette for a race car. The Z06 is nice, but too much money for a dedicated track car, plus I really just don't care for the Z06 as much as the C4s. The Z06 is fast, but it feels more like a sport sedan, whereas the C4 feels like a "true" sports car. I'll probably end up going with a 96 LT4 Vette, and then putting another $5K or so in it for mods. Considering my 92 Vette would outrun most non-Z06 C5s around our local road course with only about $1k in suspension mods, I think I'll be very happy with an LT4 C4 that's maxed out on mods. As for a true racecar, I'd rather go with something like a Vette so that I have the option of driving it on the street occassionally.
