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

yeah youre basically spending whatever money on go fast parts for half the power you could actually be getting.

Im still waiting for my perfect 97 to come around..

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.

What do you consider great mileage?

I get about 33 to 35 highway, which is where I do 80% of my driving.
