I'm looking to MAYBE sell my car and buy something that might be better for me and what I am looking for in my car.
I am going to be going to college in the fall, and I don't want to take my current car or any car I will get because I have seen what happens to cars on college campus' on a regular basis, not good.
I have a modified 2004 WRX that is a blast to drive. It goes like hell and handles great. The only thing is I've always wanted a big V8 that doesn't sound like rice. Don't get me wrong, I love my car but it is a tuner and I like muscle cars, no tuner sounds as good as a v8, let alone an LS2.
I would be looking exclusively at LS2's, so only 05+ I believe it is.
The car will only be driven during the summer when I am home from college so the loss of AWD doesn't matter. It will be garage kept at my parents home.
What do you guys have to say about the ls2 gto, please as unbiased as possible. I know I will lose handling and a nimble awd turbo car but im not racing at time attack either.
Some questions I have:
How strong is the 6spd?
With a full exhaust including headers, intake and cams can i reach or get close to 400rwhp?
How can I eliminate body roll and or make it handle better for less than a fortune.
What kind of wheel/tire setups can that badboy run.
Any advice or thoughts welcome. Thanks in advance.
