Miller Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Last weekend I was involved in a car accident when I was on my way to see my girl friend. Someone bumped my tail and threw me into a spin into someone else on an icey bridge, both guys left the scene without helping me or giving me insurance. The bird was declared totalled, the damage was far more then what it was worth I guess. So I'm hoping to present my receipts to insurance so I can atleast get some money back on them. I always liked to keep my car's mods kinda secret even though it was a slow v6, but there is no sense in hiding it now. It had: Cold Air intake KN Filter Injectors High Flow Waterpump Thermostat Fairly aggresive Cam ls1 Valve Springs Stage 2 clutch FlyWheel Rocker Arms QTEC Y Cutout Magnaflow Exhaust Ignition shit (Plugs Wires Coils) The point is I need a new car, and I was looking for something that would get me rolling fast for under 13k. I have a 2000 dollar set of rims that I loved sitting around so I was hoping for a 93-97 Transam or c4 corvette so I could transfer them. But I'm staying open minded here. Anyone got some ideas? Cliff notes: Help me choose a car for under 13k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 93 to 97 TA or Camaro isn't a bad choice. It's got the LT-1 motor, which is a firly good motor. But you could deffiently find a 1998 or newer with thr LS1, which hauls ass. But I don't know, do you want 8 or 4 cylinders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Yeah Derrick you can shoot me a pm with more details, I would appreciate that.
