Default Car Shopping

Hey everyone, if you had about 10g to buy a car, what would you get?
I've been thinking and narrowed it down to
1999 and up Mazda Miata LS
2000 Eclipse GT
1998 and up Camaro or Firebird.

preferably rear wheel drive, i know the eclipse isn't. but i also want something that looks nice and handles well. i'm not one of the import or domestic haters, i'm always open for new ideas. if someone drives it and likes it, it must be good for something. thanks

those other options shouldn't be in the same thread as a firebird...we're talking LS1 here right? if it's v6 then you might as well drive a miata around

For 10K you can get a nice LS1 as long as you can afford the insurance payments.

The other cars arent even in the same league.

Got my LS1(firebird formula) for 6500. And you will have a enough money for a good basic power_adder.(STS Turbo 3500). Have fun! Hell if your real good and patient you can get a nice C5 for 15k
