*rubs hands*

OK, I've got my wish list all ready:

1986 Firebird Trans Am Kamback (Kambacks are generally rare)
1991 Firebird Trans Am Twin Turbo (The Batmobile on steriods...sweet)
1994 Firebird Lingenfelter 383 (yeah, same as the Corvette except it's not a Corvette)
2000 Firebird Trans Am Darth Vader (I don't know anything about it but I love the name)
2001 Aztek First Built (Black) (Aw yeah boyeeeee, I will SO be the envy of the neighborhood)
1991 Syclone PPG Pace (always wanted a blindingly-fast piece of shiznit vehicle)
1987 Chevrolet Sprint Turbo Convertible (always wanted an agonizingly slow piece of shiznit convertible)
1989 Zonker (WTF?)

And the piece of resistance...

1998 Popemobile

Read that again.

1998 Popemobile

No. Frickin'. Way. My own Popemobile?! AWESOME.
 
The big question: will I go to hell if I soup up the engine in the Popemobile?

Oh wait. I'm Catholic. I'm going to hell anyway. Nevermind.

Commence the engine build!

Those Sprint turbos were faster than you think, Eric. GM advertised them as having the power-to-weight ratio of a Trans Am (I've got a 1989 Pontiac brochure that actually says that). They only had 90 horsepower (compared to the mighty 55 horse base model), but they only weighed about 1500 pounds. My brother owned one back then and it would go like stink... until his fiancee wrapped it around a pole. You were right with the "piece of shiznit" part though...

There are a buttload of cars on that list that I'd love to have...

I'll take one of the ZR1 Corvettes

The 94 Impala SS 6 speed

95 Aurora (It's red, and I wish my mom's was red)

99 Intrigue 442 (Because I want a car that's an oxymoron)

How the hell does an Intrigue have a 4 barrel carb, 4 speed trans, and dual exhausts?
