Need Some Input
hi, i'm just looking for some input, basically, i have an 89 camaro rs convertible, 305 tbi auto, loaded, posi, etc, and i'm looking at possibly trading it, the two cars i'm looking at trading for are a 79 corvette l-82, auto, loaded, stock, and a 78 camaro z28 with a 355, auto, aluminum heads, digital 6 ignition, nos, etc, 420hp, done right out, both very nice cars, i've attached pics of all 3, if it was you, which would you trade for, or would you keep the convertible?

Re: Need Some Input
I would say it depends on what you wanted to do with the car.
If you need a daily driver, keep the RS. It is obviously more reliable, comfortable and accomodating. If you want a fun car..... imo only consider a change if you have an interest in 70's vintage machinery. The vette and Camaro are what I would consider 'special interest', that is, the cars simply must mean something to you, because, otherwise, you may not be too happy with them, simply because they probably will be a bit less comfortable to drive, and may have some expensive mechanical surprises hidden in them. Of the two, I would consider the Corvette, only if it's never been crashed, is complete, stock, with no frame rust and excellent mechanical condition. The old Camaro is a bit too cheesy, and may have been too stressed/abused by the mods, imho. |

Re: Need Some Input
thanks for the input, ya, the main reason i'm thinking about trading is the power, the rs is pretty lacking in that area with it's 170hp and 255tq, good off the line but then blah, amazingly nice car though, and the racing buckets look good but no so comfortable, i know the camaro convertibles are rare though, just not sure if i should keep it and go through all the extra to do an engine swap, just hate having a nice car like that but if i race a geo he's catching me half way through 2nd gear, just like f-body's and the old corvettes.
