Should I get a third gen trans am/camaro or an early 00s ws6? I like the speed of the latter but the style and DEM ANGLES of the third gen just looks so Eunice compared to the bathtubs on the road today. I'm just worried about maintenance. I only make $14 hour and I need to spend money on school.
How about not getting a GM shitbox?

Those cars attract white trash like flies to shit. Just reading you makes me never ever want to go near one, unless paid to.

Which one do you prefer? Anyone?
>>17584179
get over yourself
>an old piece of shit thats awful in every way
>one of the worlds ugliest cars thats less old with a half decent engine surrounded by shit
wew
get a Civic since youre still in school
turd gens are cooler, fourth gens are better
Turd gen.
If you like the style I say go for what you like looks wise. If you keep it long term you can always build it up.
I really like turd gen Camaros. I just wish I could justify spending 5000 euros on a base model 305 autotragic in poor condition. An IROC-Z in decent condition is over 10k.

I went through this exact same process op. Wanted a third gen for looks but wanted a fourth gen for power. Definitely buy a third gen if you like the looks. Get one with a 350, years 87-92 had them. Then you can fix up the motor and the end result is the best of both worlds.
>>17584145
Do you want a piece of shit with less than 200 stock HP or more modern car pushing 400?
Even not factoring in how bad the 3rd gens are, keep in mind they're up to 35 years old at this point.

I think buying a 302 with a manual is better. Swapping the engine is easier than manual swapping.
>>17584599
Yeah that's definitely the way to go if you want a manual
>>17584583
>keeping a car stock
>>17584648
OP says he makes $14 an hour. I don't see him dropping a blueprinted 350 into his new shitbox.
>>17584145
These shit heaps don't even have port fuel injection let alone DIRECT INJECTION. do not waste your sheckles on it.
>>17584769
With the money he'd save not buying a 4th gen he could do cam, heads, full exhaust, and still have thousands left
>>17584775
They did have fuel injection though. Try again
>>17584952
throttle body injection is for pleebs
>so Eunice
>Eunice
>>17584956
All 350s came with tuned port injection. Fuel injection in general is for plebs though
>>17584145
They're small block Chevys, everything is cheap. It's an old car though, anything that age is going to have problems. You'll probably want to buy a clean one, then drive your current shitbox for a while longer while you go through the suspension, brakes, tires, etc that's all a million years old before you daily it or take it on any long trips.
>>17584956
85+ IROC-Zs had a 305 with TPI, and 87+ had an optional 350 with TPI as well. It literally says it on the badge on the rear bumper and on the side skirts.

>should I buy this ugly as fuck and unreliable old car because MUHHH OLD CARS IS BETTAH
>or a later model shitty GM?

Wrong turd gen bud
>>17585685
>>17585695
One of those was up for grabs near me a week ago
>>17584599
you do realize the t5 cant even take the power the 5.7 makes? and that its a 305
>>17585714
Yup, that's the sole reason 350s were all autos
3rd gen are literally the V8s with a reputation for being slower than civics stock.
>>17585736
>stock
Aaaaand there's your problem. These things are garbage stock but they're cheap as fuck. Throw a grand at heads and a cam and it'll move
