Next Car..., *dodges thrown items* Options

[Box]

So I've had my Celica for almost a year now, in two weeks it will be a year to be exact. In of itself I like the car, but it's time for something else. I'm wanting something with more power and a better ride. Doing swaps isn't an option and neither is reverting back to the stock suspension, for cost feasibility. So now I'm looking into the possibility of finding something else. Some of the cars I've been considering include: 1986.5-1992 Supra, 92-95 SC300, 91-93 240SX, 90-95 300ZX, 90-92 Camaro/Firebird, 90-95 Mustang. So I was wondering if anyone else have owned these vehicles and had an opinion of them. Or if you can think of others cars that I haven't thought of, I'd love to hear them. Pretty much anything RWD, 2 doors, and pre-OBDII I'd look into getting. I thought about the RX7 but I don't want to deal with rotary, and the Miata and MR2 are too small as I need space for carrying a synthesizer with me for when I got out and play. The Supra, SC300, and 300ZX are towards the bottom as they can be hard to work on, especially the 300ZX. Gas mileage isn't a concern to me anymore, but performance and comfort are. I'm not asking for it to ride like a Cadillac, but I do want something that'll ride better on these atrocities they call roads. So any help would be appreciated. I plan on trying to find an example of each of these cars and test driving them before completely committing to selling the Celica.

If reliability and draining the world's oil reserves wasn't a concern I'd just get one of my (realistic) dream cars:


OR



But seeing as reliability and remotely decent mpg is needed, that pretty much leaves it to the 4th gen Trans Am. Plus I always liked the look of the 4th gen, I'd say it's my third choice as far as looks go. Pretty much ruled any Euro cars out. Japanese cars I'd consider obviously, but I want a V8. Just for the sound above anything else. I could sit and listen to a cammed OHV V8 all day. 4 cylinders just sound like ****, 6 cylinders are in that halfway point. Most 6's sound good at idle, but in the higher rpms sound like ****. I hate high pitched raspy exhaust, I refuse to deal with it. Mainly in part why the Celica has its stock exhaust still. I've gone back and forth among the various options available, and keep coming back to the Trans Am. It's what I really want, and I've wanted one for a long time. So what if it's not the best handling sports car out there. I'm not using the car for racing, nor driving it at illegal speeds. It's more than capable for what I'll use it for. It's more about the image if you will. The car just seems to fit me better than the others. I'll be sure to update on whatever I end up doing.
