My 96 camaro is pretty cheap on insurance...air bags and abs save money, and it's a V6 which helps...

However, I just got a 92 bird for 800, 3.1 v6 and it gets 31+mpg

Find a cheap 3rd gen, there all over round me...

im thinkin about a 95-98 Z28 or a firebird of the same.. just lookin for a smaller V8, guess that would be the LT1 but a LS would be nice, just alil more pricey i suppose. I regret selling my mustang now, but the 98s and older were like the crappiest years.

Ok, so how bout a 98 or newer firebird or camaro V6? i like the later model looks but the V8s cost like 10 grand usually. plus it will save gas AND their faster than most Mustang Edge V6s and they look pretty cool. Wrong place to post this i know.. ill ask the 4th gens too

Yeah, my deal with my dad is for my 18th birthday he would help me out if i go to a dealership (their gonna rape me on price for a newer LS engine camaro. So how about an LT1 camaro, those seem to be pretty basic as far as the V8s go) I was looking at V6s just to see what kind of power they get because ive heard they make more than some older GTs and newer V6s mustangs but id much rather get a V8 over a 6.
