[XtremeGrandAm]

Looks good! That building looks familiar :lol: I love IMS

[LargeFish]

The color is Mystic Teal Metallic and was the least produced color in 2001 and was discontinued in 2002. Pontiac calls the same color Blue-Green Chameleon. Here's a pic of the certificate I got to attest to the lap we took at IMS.

Man i wish i could own a camaro and a grand am, the camaro was my dream car, but you grow to love the grand ams!

[SpecialFX]

I can tell some of those pics are old. I'm sure NE Ohio has been all white for a good long while. Nice ride! That's your beater right? So you can keep the GA nice in the winter?
:angel1:

[LargeFish]

Yeah, the most recent photo is the one with the cover on and it looks about the same now, except for a lot more snow piled on it! :D

[antirice]

AHHHHH!!!!! someone stole 2 of your cylinders!!!!!! I hope you catch them! :cop:

J/K, nice ride :thumbup:

sheesh! someone got 4 of mine! :lol:

Actually I was referring to the fact that the new GTs have a V6 and you have a 4, like me.

And to you, a camaro owner, I pose this question:

I've found a 1998 Camaro, T-Tops, CD, leather interior, 50k miles.

It's kind of a burnt orange color that I think looks really sweet. Black racing stripes too.

Anyway, it's not a Z28 or an SS or anything, but it's a sweet looking car, and it's only 7,995.

Would you trade your GA for a camaro? Or stick with the GA?

I can afford only one of them, but I'm having a seriously hard time not running to the dealership and dropping my GA like a rock.

My GA's a Black 99 GT, camel leather interior, Premium sound, Sunroof.. everything. It only has 25,900 miles on it right now. That's my one stickey thing. I'd be trading a car with around 26k on it for one with almost twice that.

I'm so torn. What would all of you guys do?

[LargeFish]

It's up to you, but considering where you live would you want a Camaro for a year-round car? The GA is probably gonna handle better in bad weather. If you got some sandbags in the rear and put snow tires on that would help I guess. Also depends how much you have to drive in the winter.

[Thin_J]

Decided against it after a good amount of consideration. It would have to be my daily driver, meaning I would have to drive it in the snow and ice to work all winter long.

I'm also scared shitless of what the insurance would be on it, as mine's $215 a month on the GA.

Perhaps someday far off in the future I'll be able to afford an extra car.

Till then.. I'll just be a little envious of you and your shiny camaro.

good call. aside from insurance issues, the GA GT is a better car. camaros lose quite a bit of power through the driveshaft (RWD)- your grand am is much faster. if it were a Z28 or SS, i'd say go for it. plus your GA has so little miles on it, there's no point in jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

LargeFish: that's a nice car, but why a V6?

[LargeFish]

Originally bought to be more of a daily driver (other than severe weather) and wanted to keep fuel and insurance costs down. Really not a bad engine anyways as it has more power stock for stock than a lot of the 3rd gen Z28s. And BTW a 3.8 powered F-body is pretty close in 1/4 mi. times to a GA GT. Much more power loss in an auto transmission than there is in a driveshaft, plus RWD rocks!

[DEMonte1997]

good point :)

Uhh, lack of job = no money :( if i could have a 2nd vehicle right now, it would be my old Jimmy for the winter and to take some of the miles off the GA.

[LargeFish]

With the engine failure in the GAGT I won't be able to get the fibreglass hood, exhaust and rocker upgrades I was planning on for a good while now, but I sure am enjoying the RWD feel. Gotta get the GA going so I don't pile too many miles on my baby...

Hmmm - well it was not 3 1/2 years. Exactly 3 yrs + 17 days between posts.

My (ex-)imaging site made some policy changes late last year and I didn't find out in time, so I replaced the pics that I could find.
