Confused

so as most of you know i have a v6 well lately ive been wanting to do alot to it. But ive been thinking that i might not do to much more to it and start saving up for a v8 for after i turn 18. maybe just get the bodykit and exhaust on any maybe tires and wheels since i can switch them to the v8 and than just minor things. Because i still have 2600$ to pay off. I dont want to put to much more into this car. I wish v6-v8 swaps were less expensive..i might as well start saving and hopefully i can find a 1998-2002v8 in black with ttops for under 7 grand in a year or so

Yep. Pretty much. If you want to go fast, buy a v8.

I think its more worth it to buy with a v8, and there are always good deals online on z28's so im sure you will be able to find one under 7 grand in a year. Look like on other forums for people selling cars, and on autotrader

I wantED one, but being my DD, I get great gas mileage. And every time I take one of the vettes to homecoming or prom or whatever, I get to carried away, there so easy to speed in, like accidentally. I couldn't have 300 hp all the time in a car, dont mind it in my truck, it weighs like 3 times as much, but having that much power in a lighter car, I would probably end up in trouble. Thus my recent thinking of giggle gas.........

x 2. I contemplated doing a V8 swap into my V6 but when I looked at the cost, I just decided I'd buy a Z-28 instead. I'm much happier for it now. With the cost of gas going up daily, it's nice to have one car to haul *** in and another one to get good mileage in.
