trade A4 for M6 or convert to M6

[Camaroz2894]

i want to have a manual but i would sell my A4.. but i dont think i'm gonna get enough to get M6 and all that i've done to the car money wise which isnt to much but is it gonna be worth it. should i just convert to manual? what you guys think

I was going to sell my '93 Formula, but I realized that I was too attached to it, I can't get rid of it. It's an A4 as well, I'm selling my DD to buy everything for the swap, and I'm going to convert it to a T56 out in the driveway. . .

I'd say go for the swap! You really don't want to get rid of a car that you know is reliable to take on somebody elses car that may be a headache waiting to happen. . . You can get everything to swap for about $1,500, so why not just save up for it?

wait so do you want to swap a t56 into your car or get a m6 car?

Unfortunately red '94 Z-28s are a dime a dozen, so no... you probably won't get enough to get an M6 car. I've been seeing cars like yours selling for $3500-$4000. However, I have also seen some LT1 M6 cars going for the same price. My opinion? Sell it and sit on the cash, adding to it as you can and buy a higher mileage LS1 M6 car and be REALLY happy. I paid $6500 for my Formula 2 years ago and it's been a great car. Sure, I just had to put a $2500 trans in it, but for how much I beat on it, it was worth it.

Merged your threads together.

sell it and save for a ls car, some of the autos are going cheap and are in decent condition, even with high miles u just gotta take care of them i know a few 120k+ head and cam ls1's running strong

[LS1Formulation]

Like mine... 150K and just ran 12.66@115 untuned with a horrible launch.

that's what i'm not sure about ha... i dont know i jus sit an think i wanna do t-tops on the car... a manual would be more exciting to drive keeping your mind on shifting while driving , a different color cause i'm sick of red so i would want to paint... but since i've owned the car in 05 to now, i put 2,685$+ into the car excluding oil changes and detail, part of that in 2005 i had 1100$ tune up for the car cause i didnt know the car at the time and the guy i bought it from was a mechianc and he did the tune up an that;s what it cost me at the time. so i'm in debate on what to do although i lost my job so i cant do anything this was just a thought before i lost my job

I would just stick with the car. You're going through the same thing I am. . . I have a red '93 hardtop A4 Formula. . . Pretty much stock, lol. I'm trying to sell my truck to buy the parts to do the T56 swap, T-Top Conversion, and get my locker and 4.10's installed. . . lol I originally wanted a black Trans Am M6 w/ t-tops, but I got the car I have, and I love it. I would just love it a lot more if it had the 6 speed and t-tops. . . lol

I did switch from a V6 5-speed Camaro with T-Tops, and I loved that car, but the Formula was definitely a step up.

yea see your thinking what i am.... well at the time when i got my car it was hell of a deal and i didnt pass it up... it had 87,000 miles stock and i only payed 3850 well lets say 4000 said an done on the road.bought it off friend of mine leaving for the marines. an i now have 137,000miles hooker exhuast, K&N, all synthetic oils, tune-up, deleted cat, performance rotors,brakes, STB,MSD coil, free mods, 90degree slicone elbow

Mine's basically all stock. I've got a 3" TD setup in the garage, but it's pointless to install it with stock mani's when I'm planning on installing headers when I sell my truck. I've just gotten really attached to my car, and I couldn't really go through the hassle of selling it, having people lowball me and tell me what a POS it is. Not worth it. I'll make the car what I want it to be, and be happy with it. It's got 160,000 miles on it right now, but still runs strong. Wasn't abused before, mostly highway driven by an older woman before the previous owner bought it, he put less than 5k on the odo before selling it, and I've been happy for 20,000 miles and 16 months so far. . .

t-tops? different color? and a manual? I think you'd be better off getting another F-body.
