Message	He got rid of his 94 Z28 after spending about $20K in mods and still only ended up with about 350 rwhp. About the only thing he didn't do to that car was plop in a 383 Linginfelter. After he spent all that money, he still only got $6K for the car when he sold it. He had to spend so much time and money to keep that car running (more like from falling apart), it was just ridiculous. I had a 94 Trans-Am (POS) and I can tell you right now, I would never buy another American Car, unless of course it's the new Mustang (retro styling- 500 HP; maybe that one=). He now has a Z06 and loves it, but he also had to spend $55K for the damn thing. So I guess what I'm saying is $$$ can buy you HP; in the end it's still an American car and American car are just not built as well as Foreign cars(Japanese in particular) are built. My 2 cents. Either way, buy what you love, drive it like you stole it and don't let anybody tell you your decision was a bad one. In the end, there'll always be someone faster and quicker!
