Dont really care for the camaro body style, they do have the power but id rather have a 99-01 cobra because performance wise they are about the same.... but the cobra definately looks better...

96 LT4 Vette or an early C5 vette is where I would spend it. I would have bought one of those if the wifey wouldnt have put restrictions on my price... I LOVE the C4's.. not so much for looks, but the personality and the way they drive is so different. They have a different feel to them. I honestly was torn between a 93 M6 and the 97 cobra untill the dealership offered me a near straight trade for my truck. If it wasnt for that.. I might be posting on the vetteforums still [8D]

Buy an old S-10 and put a 350 in it and you could out run the LS1 and have enough money left over to buy a day to day car.

Out of your list i'd say get an 00-02 LS1 and mod it if you can keep it under that $17k.

Buy a truck and a motorcycle. Best of both worlds. Lift/offroad fun and pure speed.
Nah don't need/want a truck.... Never really been into off-roading (even though there is tons of it to do around here). And we get way too much rain to enjoy a motorcycle....
ford powerstroke, gale banks 6 gun, objects in mirror are LS1 camaros

camaros and trans ams are pretty ugly, given the choices id go with a 99 cobra, and youll still have some spare cash for mods. srt-4s are pretty quick though, and id be tempted to get one just because they are stock turbo and right around 17k. but the 99 cobra without a doubt would be my first choice, srt4 second, and ls1 third.

look into ls1 gto's
I have seen them as low as 16k with a ton of miles but they are around 18-19k with around 20,000 miles.
very nice cars on the inside too

WITHOUT A BIASED OPINION. How much faster would you say the LS1 is than the N/A Cobra? And what do you think it would take to get the Cobra to 350RWHP?
