okay ns well lately ive been puttin up threads asking you guys about cars, cuz ive been in the market, and i really just want some american muscle, mainly been lookin at camaros or firebirds..i like 3rd gen camaros, and 4th gen firebirds, and i really wanted a manual transmission but ive come to realize they are harder to find, gotta be a v8, so i found a 94 firebird trans am, only 97,000 on it, for 2500$ . 5.7 liter..350. however u wanna say it, but its an automatic..im contemplating whether to just get the auto or keep lookin for a 5spd or 6spd which trust me ive scoured craigslist for. 

spark notes: v8 firebird..shud I just go with the auto?

I used to like Novas until I remembered they were a grandma's car and are a dime a dozen.

However that combo will kill any other car. Just remember to get it in bright red or black.


On a serious note I would forget the 80s camaros and firebirds because they are nothing but junk. Most of them had the 305 which sucked major dick. The 90s camaros and firebirds are alright, just get one with lower mileage that isnt trashed up. Oh and make sure the T-top doesnt leak.
