Question Should I???

My dad and I were talking and I think I might get a cheap 3000gt or stealth and learn stick on it. because in a couple years I plan on getting a t/a hopefully ot at least a z28 lt1. And i want to learn stick and my dad also wants me to know how so i thought just get a cheap 5 spd and learn. then i can just take that car in with the maro and have a little more trade money, also i can have it as a backup or winter beater even though we really dont have a winter but maybe a month and half out of the year. I don't know you guys think i should, of course no way the camaro is going, how bad can a 3 grand or so 5 spd be?

3000gts & Stealths are tight-it sounds like a good idea to me

sorry bro, but awd cars are HARD to launch without bogging them, due to their traciton, it's alot different than a ta or camaro.

those are not good learning cars, clutches are expensive in them (parts on my friends was over$600) go with a honda or gm they use cheap clutches (you will burn one up) an s10 holds up well and can hold resale value

I know several people who learned to drive stick on a new car, not to hard to drive unless you really can't drive.

So burn the clutch in your camaro and replace with something stronger, either way it is going to go.
