I have a 210hp Liberty and all my family has ever owned (up 'til my sister's Cobalt) are V8s in the form of Tahoes/Yukons. My dad had an 84 Z28, it had the HO engine in it but I'm not sure what hp it put out. I have driven a lot of RWD or 4WD
, but I need practice on a stick and I know that whichever V8 I get I will have to gradually find its limits.
I'm kinda hoping the Z28 will be the base V8 then I can just throw the SS appearance package on it because, well, I like hood scoops (I'm an aerospace engineer, we all like scoops and inlets and diffusers and wings and stuff like that). By the time I save up enough dough for it, it will probably be 2014 (plus I will be over 25 by then and get a break on insurance), which works out nice since it will be like a 30 year homage to my dad and his Z28
