Don't do it.
Trade and then sell the LS1 Car for a Hardtop/T-Top LS1 car.
Convertibles are on the Fat side.HEAVY!!.
It would be hard to pass up.
Don't do it!
Do what it best for you, but think about what your future plans are before you decide. Do you plan on keeping a car for a long time? Which car do you like better? Is the car you have now one you plan on keeping forever, or is it just a car for now?
See I could have bought an LS car when they came out but I loved having my LT car for projects and upgrades, plus it holds more sentimental value for me than buying a new car. I don't ever plan on selling mine.
That being said, if you don't plan on keeping your LT for years and years then depending on the overall condition between the two of them it might be better for you to trade.
JMHO
If he really wants a Ls1 just buy one with that 2500 then drive the lt1 until the ls1 is built and ready to be dropped in
Hope to hell you don't live in a cold climate , because a convertible seems to get twice as cold in winter.Dont even think about the added road noise , Stick with your LT1 - spend the 2500 on AdvancedInduction Heads and cam and have a faster car for less. Especially with the tax ,title and tags swapped over to your name !
