Heres the deal

I have too many projects going on. Three Cars, none of which run. However, each to me are desireable. I'm finally getting my license back, so I have to get one of these running within the next sixty days.

I would go with the 30th anniv camaro... heads are pretty cheap and you could prolly get one in town or at a salavge and do it all yourself and still have at least 4k left if not more

 

Well to go a bit further. the last driver i had was a 91 Porsche (911 Carrera Cabriolet). But damn, how can I go to driving somthing......not fast!
For whatever vehicle i keep, It has to be fun!. 5g's is being spent

 

the 7, what type of answer would you expect at a rotary site? with 5 grand you can make the 7 quick and handle sweet look good to way better than some crapmaro.

 

I would say the 7. It handles more like the porsche than either other car you have. Alos with 5K, you could probably make it faster than the 86 camaro and possibly the 97 depending on what you do for an engine.

 

Go 7 - both the Camaro's are, or are about to be, worthless. Everyone and his brother drives a Camaro - at least the 7 is becoming unique and appreciating...

You could put together a very tight 7 for $5K.

 

for 5 G's get a j-spec TII motor for the 7 from rotaryshack.com you'd have a little money left over for suspension, paint (maybe), or rims

 

I'd have to go with the 7 too. Camaros after about 73 arent very good cars. They break a lot, and just don't look good either. With five grand you can do just about anything you want with the 7. Like Rotofire said, you can get a Turbo II motor, or (and I live in CA so give me a break if this isn't true elsewhere in the nation) even a 13b RE from a Cosmo. Around here they only sell as packages, so you would get a better motor and tranny, and the swaps aren't too hard on either of those motors.
