Transmarobird ownership quirks...

Hi

I just totalled out my daily driver (07 aveo) and am looking for a daily driver. I've noticed the bottom has fallen out of the car market and was thinking of picking up a LS1-T56 powered camaro or firebird. i'm young, gotta live it up before I get tied down with kids and all that, right?

Anyway, I see alot of these camaros for $9000 bucks with around 85K on them. I see a few with 40-50 for 10-11K as well.

If I get a camaro with 80 or so thousand miles on it, what kind of reliability can I expect out of it? I understand the LS1 drivetrain is pretty tough, and I only do highway driving too. What kinds of things do go wrong? I don't beat on my cars and will change the oil on time, every time, I won't be racing this car or modding it. Also, with the car in general, what else goes wrong? Are t-tops very leak prone?

I've got a 95, but its a circle track car and never has seen the street so It not helping me out here!!

If this isn't the right place for this post, could a mod move it?

thanks

yet Another noob...

hi

I joined up last week after hearing some glowing recommendations from other FBody owners, so I thought I'd introduce myself!

I race 1/2 mile oval tracks and just moved up to a real racing class from the quasi-demo derby class I used to be in. I thought I'd do something different and used a 4th gen FBody. Getting this car setup has been a challenge, since noone else races a car even kind of like mine at our track, so I've had to forge my own way with the setup. Anyway, heres a pic of the car:

and check the link in my sig for more pictures of that car and my other cars (even the jump car gets a page!)



I look forward to contributing what little I know about 4th gens and absorbing all I can!

btw, any other circle track racers on here?
