Up to you. I loved my LS and fixing it up, but I love my MX-6 better. Luck just finally hit me for once.

not to offend you or anyone else but buying a cobalt LT to race wth wasnt the best idea. i have a 2.4L SS and its definitly not a race car. The ss/sc is fast but still not a "race" car. motor for nothing sounds like a great deal. Use the LT as the monday thru friday. project for the weekends
