hey guys. so my brother was wondering what he should do.

Right now he has a early 90's Chevy Cavi Z24 that he drives to work
a 2006 Ford F150 FX4 Extra cab.
and a 55K Mile 94 6spd Corvette.

Right now he is debating what he wants to do.

OPTION 1 - Keep the current "stable" of cars And put Exhaust,headers,intake As well as a Lift Kit and 20" Rims on 35" Tires on his Truck with a Edge Juice kit. And leave the Vette stock

OPTION 2 - Sell the Cavi and that Corvette and buy a Subaru WRX (non Sti) And then trade in his Truck for a C5 Z06.

OPTION 3 - Sell the Cavi and the Vette Buy a Subaru WRX And trade/sell his Truck and Buy a 03/04 Cobra Convert.

OPTION 4 - Sell the Cavi and the Corvette. Keep the truck and Get either a Grand National Or some sort of Muscle Car.

it's just a F150 so a Gas powered Triton V8.

and keep in mind he would have about 14-16K to spend on a car.

Option 5) Leave the cav and F150 alone, mod the shit out of the Vette.

He isn't overly into modding cars. he is more about stock and reliable (hence the Z06 and Cobra idea)

But he'll put all that shit on the truck????

1 plus 1 does not = 2 here.

The truck is piss slow. he has always had lifted trucks and has never had any problems with them. i'm sure he will just leave it with rims tires and a lift kit. and leave the rest of it stock. seeing how he is a cop he doesn't want anything loud.

An lt1 6spd vette with gears and a v2 would be dead reliable and fast as hell.

I'd say option 1 minus the gay as 20's go with smaller rims and more rubber and do all the mods to the vette and not the truck

#4. Don't mod a slow truck to make it only semi-slow. Why not keep the truck and buy firetruckrick's STI?

only reason he hasen't really brought up the fact of doing anything to the C4 Vette is cause i think he wants to keep it "stock" cause he thinks he could sell it for more and easier if it was stock.

And he won't buy a Import to take over his "fast car"
lol
And he said if he did it would be a Supra so FGR's STI i don't think will happen

C4's are worth nothing regardless of the mods.

Nobody wants em. Mod away.

fvck hitting the truck w/ nitrous. Dont those triton 4.6 & 5.4's have problems with throwing spark plugs anyway, yanking all of the threads in the spark plug hole with them (due to fewer # of threads or some jive likr that). i swear i have seen threads on here about this. Nitrous probably wouldnt help this.http://brewcitymuscle.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13178&highlight=spark+plug

Option 5) Get rid of the whole lot (especially the cavy), replace with a ford ranger/toyota tacoma/gm twin/dodge dakota for reasonable utility and reasonable mileage cost, then get whatever toy he so desires...

Yeah, because we all know a dealer will be straight up and hand you that cash for it even if you dont buy a car.

Cmon man.

Yeah, fine, they were showing him that much, but we all know what they show you and what you're actually getting are two vastly different things.

Im not saying the car isnt a desirable car, im just saying in the long long line of corvettes, a 94 C4 isnt really high on the rarity scale.

Mod that shit.

Flicktitty
04-11-2007, 05:59 PM
uhm yeah i geuss.......

who knows. i know that car is one of the cleanest C4 Vette's i've ever seen.

and it is pretty low miles oh well. what ever
