Fact: The LS1 Fbodies are probably the cheapest, fastest and most reliable car you can get for your money.

Even if you dislike GM, you have to admire how good looking and aerodynamic they look.

I dunno about any car in its price range, but you are right that "lolcantturn" is just an ebik may-may for anything American and V8-powered. Only foxbodies and old barges really deserve that.
>>
>>14301500
but the 4th gen IS an old barge

>>14301504
No, an old barge is a Chevelle or a 442. The 4th-gen F-body is fairly recent and relatively small, it just looks a bit bigger than it is because of the huge overhangs.

clean mr2's without a heavy rice tax are impossible to find in the north east

>>14301290
Eh if we're looking at a price:speed:reliability ratio am SN95 Mustang is probably at parity. Slightly slower, but far cheaper and more reliable. In fact you can skew it any way you want. Really slow but cheap and reliable? Really fast an reliable but expensive? I don't think you can really say beyond any question that the F bodies are the best at anything, especially since they're not even that cheap anymore unless you get a V6.

Certainly worth consideration though.

i always liked 4th gens.
very fast even by today's standards.
when people realized they were faster than the new GTs and SS, the prices went up

This has to be bait.

These cars can't be obtained for less than 5-7k USD

Try again

>>14301716
I'm was talking price range when they first came out. Base STIs were 31k, which is about where the top trim Firebirds were.
>>
>>14301731
Also I don't think we got the STI and EVO until well after the Fbodies ended production. We got the WRX in 2001 and they costed more than the base Z28.
>>
>>14301500
>>14301586

The 4th Gens aren't really excepted. The problem isn't that they can't turn. Its that they're not communicative and you don't know what the car is doing at the limit until you're pretty much driving at its limits. And on top it feels bigger than it really is because it has such a long profile. So yeah, it'll corner stupid fast. You'll just be doing close to illegal speeds and not really feel it. They rely more on wide sticky rubber than good chassis/suspension tuning.

That said I still kinda wanna get a 4th Gen 6 speed LT1 as a drift car. You can find them all day long for $3-5k.

That was my first car, I dagumied the shit out of it.

No one here's talking about when they came out. I was under the assumption OP was talking about current running prices.

They're more fun than they look
>>
>>14301290
All else aside, I think both of those cars are absolutely horrendous. The firebird and camaro are the worst looking of the usual american V8 RWD sports cars, and the year models that you posted are the worst of the worst.
>>
>>14301316

They're like $10k-$20k in Canada depending on condition. You could get 2 FD RX7s, 3 Z32 300ZX TTs, 1 R32 or R33 GT-R, 2 E36 M3s, 2 944 Turbos, or a decent C5 for the same price.

the only thing worse is the abomination that was the GTO reboot they did ~2005

I can find them for under $2k pretty easily here in Vegas. $5k will get you a pretty damn clean Miata with mahds.

ive been wanting one of those since my fbody z28 got stolen

i know their essentially the same but what minor differences are there in relation to reliability?

Its literally the same car.
>>
>>14302430
Well the plastic headlight motor gears tend to go bad. That is about the only reliability thing that would be different from a Camaro.
>>
>>14302430
Except the T/A weighs more and has softer suspensIon. But they're basically the same.
>>
>>14302412
>>14302513
If you have to replace the headlight motor don't get the plastic OEM get the brass aftermarket one. they're a lot better,
