yeah firebird. and since its a sorta commute car i'd get a trans am. seriously, ive been considering keeping my TA stock cuz its such a nice daily driver as it is, then modding my camaro. the suspension is so much smoother, the seats are so much more comfy in the trans am.

the trans am it out of the question, even though id love to have one, this possibily-future f-body of mine (reguardless of which one) is going to have to be a 6 banger because it has to get good milage, (above or around 25). although, sice you cant do very much with a 3.4 or 3.8 v6, i will be looking to mod it appearence-wise. (hood, wheels, clear corners, tinted windows, white gauges, etc)

I got the same milage with my 3rd gen v8 as I did my 3rd gen v6 (I haven't owned a 4th gen yet)

well im not sure about your 3rd gen but mine gets 12 mpg, i highly doubt(no offense here) that a 3.4 or 3.8 v6 gets 12 mpg, they almost have to be higher

my 350 in my 3rd gen got 18, so did the 2.8, so does the 3.8 in the gp (the bravada gets 15) the 305 does get worse (it's underpowered for the weight of the car)

you only get 18mpg in your grand prix? I get like mid-high 20s.

I'm lucky if I get more than 16mpg in my 3.4.

I'd say one of each, just because that'd be cool to have a collection going. But, the more I thought about it, if it's going to be a v6 and you're going to do appearance mods, go with a Camaro... You can't barely do anything to a Firebird compared to the Camaro.

I never did, my 3rd gen had a 2.8 (and 7 injectors gm's wonderful idea that failed)
