well i saw this beretta for sale today $3000 40,000 miles i was just getting ready to buy it so i called my dad, and he said cant get it   because he had a brother that lost his life in a beretta, and my dad thinks i would get hurt in one.....so i was thinking about getting a trans am with the ram air on it what are the positives and negatives about them? or what about a mustang cobra, or saleen? i still love the beretta and if i could get one i would, and does anyone know a site for mustangs or trans ams? kinda like one for beretta's like beretta.net

The Beretta is a tank. You would be much less likely to get in a serious wreck in it compared to an F-bod or something like a Cobra. The speed difference is quite different.

If your lookign at cobras andd REAL saleens not the clones then you must have a lot of money to spend. I would not want to be driving a V8 everyday with gas prices. **** if I had that money I'd be looking at a BiTurbo S4 But that's just me. Back to reality though buy the beretta safer reliable as hell and better gas mileage. Win win.

The Beretta really isnt that safe, is it? Didnt they quit making it because it didnt pass the new accident standards they passed in 1996 or 1997? And also because they were too cheap and lazy to redesign the passenger side of the car....maybe I'm just losing my mind....
Get a Grand Prix GTP. I love my car, just make sure to get one with low miles....these transmissions in these cars go pretty often, usually around 100K I believe.

i have now idea how i went from a beretta to a cobra.....i would love to have one but i didnt think about that v8....with gas prices jumping up and down i have to reconsider....i was going more towars the trans am anyways because my friend has one with ram air and he said he would sell it to me for 1300...its a 97 with 30k on it so this is a deal u cant pass up! whats the MPG on a trans am? if i cant get it (which i dont see why not) what are sum other options something with two doors not TOO expensive and that gets up and goes? not a rice rocket either

I still dont see how Berettas are considered "tanks."
Don't get me wrong, I loved mine when I had them...but they're just made so cheap. Not as cheap as my Cavalier was tho...

I'm not saying its reliable and tough like a tank, im saying it can get all beat to hell and back but still be running.

Aren't all trans ams V8s? Firebirds were the same body but had V6s? There's no way your scoring a V8 F body with 30K for that price unless it's basically a gift.
