*Edit - Insurance'll kill you on the LT1 more than likely though.
3rd gens arent that bad either, but most Irocs or Z28's dont come in stick but are cheap and fast. Their handling isnt bad but unless you are AutoXing it doesnt matter in Pinellas county.
4th gens tend to get pricey if your looking for a V8 but the 3rd's and Fox body Stangs are much cheaper.
