Screw the Lt1 or not?
So my moms telling me to sell my lt1 96 and buy a 2002 camro SS 6speed black (shell pay the difference in price). right now i have a A6 with 130K miles but the car is in almost brand new condition. Should i keep my lt1 and do a 383 stroker and modify and upgrade it or should i just f uck it and get the ls1?

Wow, can i have your mom? 
A6 in your car? wow thats pretty rare! hehe
Well, if it were me, without a doubt i'd take her up on that offer and get the SS. Thats one hellva car. But i would be expecting to pay a quite of bit in difference for that SS. 130k is alot of miles and i dont see you getting that much for it, even if it is awesome shape. What are u planning to get for it?
Also, if you wanted to save your mom the money,THEN i say go all out a build a bomb a** with that LT1. Stroker that puppy up!

If you sell it yourself you might get that much but if you plan on going to a dealer they tend to not give a **** about that other stuff unfortunately so you'll get significantly less. I'd definately take her up on that offer though. How did that come about anyways? I'm curious

The LS1 is a far superior engine in every aspect, but if u like your car and have some good money to invest in it and make it fast id keep it...Also if reliability is a issue/daily driver you might wanna go w/ the newer car.

I think itll be way more than 10k difference, but I say jump on that like a 18 yr old virgin! Pull your stereo and return it to a normal as possible condition, try and put the stock rims on and trade it in! If my mom offered to trade both my vehicles for a 2002 SS I would do it!

Who cares how much he'll get for his car?!?!?! His mom's gonna take care of it!!!!!
I like the LT1, but there are a few reasons to go for the SS.
-More collectible if you decide to keep it(you would want to)
-Faster out of the box
-Responds to mods very well
-Better gas mileage(six speed)
Oh and I don't think there are 18 y/o virgins out there anymore either. I would jump on one if I saw it though

LOL I meant A4 hahah, and im planning on getting 10K for my car hopefully. My rims and tires cost around $3600 and my stereo system is over $1400, leather interior with t-tops and alot of other little things.

well, sorry to be the one to burst your bubble, but i doubt you will get $10k for a 96 lt1 with 130k miles.
wheels/system dont add much value to the car.
youre probably better off selling the wheels seperate for 1500-2k, and try to get 6-7k for the car.
