Personaly, Id go with a camaro. You can get em dirt cheap, and they are stunning automobiles. You can even do some light work on them ( heads, cam, 30 over ) and get em to scream even harder. My dad owned a 1999 SS

and that thing ripped, fastest car ive ever been in, m6 tranny btw, like you like.
Now, for my all time fav car. I personaly dont like the front end on the 98+ camaros as much as I like the fronts on the 93-97's. And seeing as you want some big balls, your gonna want a ss if anything. So

YOu can see that the 1997 has a higher slalom speed, Im guessing that because this was before GM bought out SLP ( street Legal Proformance ) who modifies the z28's for chevy to make them ss's, they put more into the suspension.
