Default possibly loosing the Camaro

well, i'm at a major indecision right now. i found out i can get an LS2 Goat for $17,500. but the only thing would be i'd be getting rid of the Camaro (trade in). i really REALLY like GTO's, especially the newer ones, and i'm getting tired of all the problems i''m having with the RS. i've only test driven LS1 GTO's (both auto and manual) and i really like the way they ride and handle. i'm just looking for people''s opinions on the car and what they'd do in this situation.

anybody with a GTO is welcome to chime in

Um, how much will you get for a 1990 Camaro RS on a trade in? Even my 2002 Z28 wouldn't be worth trading in. My wife didn't get much for either one of her two 2001 Z28s that she traded in. Just keep it.

LS2 GTO=one mean machine. It's performance is almost identical to the new SS maro's coming out with a similar curbweight too. I don't see how you can't get that car, especially since how rare it is. I say go goat.

Man take it from me you want get near about as much money on a trade, no matter what you've done to the car. That's a helluva deal (LS2 Goat $17,500). I would most def go for it. Put the car on e-bay or auto trader, you'll get alot more money that way..

they said $800 for the trade in, as is (nearly $150 extra because of the "custom" paint). that really surprised me (maybe it's the fact that the car has been sitting in the mall for nearly 3 months).

i should also mention that the GTO is a 6-speed car too

I got a friend with a 6.0L gto with a sts turbo on it. The cars absolutely sick. He said theyre known for having ****ty rear ends that need replacing(he just replaced his). So maybe check it out mechanically because it might not be that great of a bargain if it comes w/o warranty.
