well idk I am looking to buy a car within the next two weeks I narrowed my choice down to the following cars...

Mitsubishi Eclipse Gst, Talon Awd Tsi (basically same cars)

A z28 and a t/a with lt1's (94+)

or maybe an older vette (looking @ an 89, 86 one right now)

I have a few questions I know a decent amount about the mitsu cars already but am basically clueless about the domestics. The lt1 produces about 275hp stock and 325 torque right ? Now, if I was working with about $1000 over the cost of the car for aftermarket parts, how much more over stock do you think I could get it ? (hp + torque wise) I initially looked @ nothing but the gsts, gsxs etc but now I'm kinda looking into the domestics. What do you guys think ? Would the older vette be the way to go or the z28 or t/a if I did decide to go domestic ?

Thanks in advance sorry I don't know much about domestics.
