go for it if i could have found a Formula, Firehawk or Trans Am i would have gotten it instead of the Firebird Z28 are very fast monsters. how many miles does it have? you should be able to talk them down to about 8,000 but start at 7,500 and see if they take it.

I am confused? You need a winter vehicle so you get a RWD Muscle car?

When my dad had his Vettes he used a Trans Am as a winter beater.

When the snow comes, somebody's going to be skidding out of control.

Well here's my update. I called the dealership " It's J.c. Im calling about putting the money down on the camaro " " Oh, sorry sir we sold that vehicle yesterday" "Sunnaofabioooootch!! you kiddin me?" " No sir " " You F*in guys suck " -click= I guess thats what i get for bein all damn excited.
Rwd hp pushers are sooooooooooo much fun in the winter. Well Minus hills. But other than that evey day to work used to be a proving ground. Its just like drifting without the wear and tear. hehe

If you have the backup ride and money to fix your 'beater' if you wreck it, I guess it would be fun driving rwd in the winter.  Around here, we have so many hills that it would be like playing devils advocate.

If I were you, and if your car has already been through ANY winter, I would buy a nice RWD ws6 trans am or something, and use it as my summer car. Then use the grand prix during winter and whenever. It handles the snow/ice extremely well.
Thats just me though... I just want to have a car that I can say hasn't seen winters around here.
