get a VX ls1 clubsport for like 5k no worries.

Catfish camaro

>>17700104
Seriously? I'm not a big fan of land yachts but that sounds like some damn good value...

I picked up my L98 VZ Thunder with 120,000 for 9k so it's not far off, needs a bit of work especially aesthetic wise, but the engine is healthy
was close to buying a VZ R8 Clubsport rolling shell and swapping my engine/box
but she agreed on 5k, then some boomer told her the prices on literally everything (facebook market)
and she tried to renegotiate to 10k

told her to get fucked

No thanks, an LS1 clubsport for 5k was appealing (and unrealistic), but all these other commodores are just about the what you'd expect in terms of value for money - nothing for me to get excited about.

Hi Calypso

Hi

>>17700652
I want to buy a 93 SS catfish with the LT4, how is the handling on the earlier cars? I'm used to my little shitbox, and I'm wondering how how the handling compared to say, a foxbody

>>17701706
ive had foxes and a lt1 camaro. the camaro feels more boat like than the foxes, but handles better and you can notice how much stiffer the chassis is

>>17701738
Interesting, I wonder how far I can take the handling for a low price
Here's the ad http://www.autotrader.ca/result/AdDetailInfo.aspx?srcID=19&frnID=10209153 , $3200 USD doesn't seem to bad for a manual LT1 and T56

It's easier to stiffen up a fox than it is to shorten and lighten a turd. All superlatives aside, it's definitely easier to work on a fox.

>>17700734

That's because it is an Opel Omega. Commodores and Cadillac Cateras are rebadged Omegas.

>>17701960
I want to, but first she's getting some motor work and a manual trans. And probably a suspension and steering rack refresh because it steers hard if you hit a small dip with one wheel.

Yeah mine needs a bit too... engine needs work, new transmission probably, the suspension is pretty much all original... still I bought a couple cans of factory matched paint. That way when I'm sick of mechanical work I can kick back and just paint some

Mines the factory engine with a superchip, full exhaust and a k&n meme filter that someone epoxied in to the bracket so I cant replace it without getting a whole new bracket. Shreds tires pretty good but she needs an alignment and has some unidentified rattles
