My advice to anyone starting out is not to buy more car than you can afford, including insurance, fuel, maintenance (warranties are not forever, and probably will expire before the car is paid for), etc.

The jump from a $24,000 car to a $40,000 car is significant until you have saved enough money not to even have to take out a loan.

I would by an LS or LT, and be satisfied with driving a new car, under warranty, and save the rest for the next car.

300HP is plenty for the street. When you get up to 400 and 500 HP, there are few situations where it can be used. I had the money to get the SS, and opted for the V6.
