Question What to do with my 1988 Firebird?

So my girl might be getting a truck so I will be getting the Firebird that I got for her back.
What should I do with it I really don't need another toy but it's in pretty good shape.
The Firebird has a 2.8 with AC.
I have a car I'm putting together for the track.
I could rebuild my Cad 500 and put some forged pistons and maybe run a 400 shot of NOS on it.
Or I could put a 4 Banger in it and maybe get a car with some good gas mileages out of it maybe put a turbo on it down the line.
Or I could sell the car and try to get a decent 1970-1973 Camaro.
I miss the one I had when I was 16.
I took it apart to rebuild the whole car frame off and all and did not have the money to finish it. Yea it went to the bone yard.
What could I do I was 16 and my parents did not like half a car in the back yard.
I'm leaning toward finding the Camaro.
I could do the Cad 500 in that.
What do you think?

I'm leaning towards the 2nd gen Camaro idea. My g/fs aunt has a 71 z/28, all black with a 396 swapped in it. Very sweet car. Just my two cents though.
