I'm still looking at cars, trying to find something interesting to drive. I found two 2002 Camaro Convertibles today. Both are automatics (sad), one has 46k miles on it and is $13,500-ish, the other looks to be an SS and has under 8k miles...for about $20k? I'm a little surprised at the prices they are asking for lowly F cars these days. I was looking through the classifieds and I realized that I have front and rear sway bars, a T56 and some other bits left....maybe I just need a 3rd gen? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (and any third gens I find these days are ROUGH....).

I keep wondering if I should just keep the T56 to go with the engine that's coming out of the Corvette. Give it a freshening up and find something to stuff it in. My GF was pushing for an L98 powered Miata. Tons of torque and no real weight to push around...sounds fun, but I don't think it's going to fit. I thought about a truck (maybe even an older one) and doing an EFI conversion. Sadly most of those have rusted beyond recognition and the rest are expensive.

No real point to this post other than to say that for the first time in my life, I can't find a car I want to buy and drive??? This is unusual.

Edit:

Is it sad that I want to go buy this?

Well I was going to direct you to a link to show u what one looks like but I did not realize how rare they are. None on eBay or autotrader. 1999 was the last year of them and had a different body. Only the vr4 had the turbos and rear wing . the other models were non turbo and front wheel drive. The link above is my wife's car that I listed for sale for her. I am not trying to sell it to you that was just the only one I could find. I have autox it one time and won beginner class and had 2 nd fastest time of regular class. My wife is wanting a viper is why it is for sale in first place. I prefer the vr4 but its her car.

I drove one of those years ago...but I think it was "broken". It wasn't fast and didn't seem to be running as I expected. It was more of a high speed all weather grand touring car, but it was a neat concept (until they got super heavy).

Ultimately, I bought a 70th anniversary Jeep Liberty. It's pretty loaded and has 1.5 years/10k on the bumper to bumper and 5.5 years and 75k on the power train warranty. I was really looking at the 4 door Wrangler, but this seems far less likely to turn into another project vehicle. I think I'm going to add a Detroit Tru Trac to the rear axle and drive it.
