    Question about 4th Gen Camaros

    Well I'm selling my bike and getting a 4th gen. I am very broad with what I want. I'm looking for one of many things, a 93+ z28, a 98+ v6, or preferably a 98+ ss. Is there anything I should look out for? Any known problem years? Any recommendations? T tops are going to be a must, and I prefer a 6 speed. Color isn't much of a big deal. What am I looking at spending? Any advice is appreciated!

    Get to know ls1tech.com there is so much info on there it's unreal. Just start searching and you will find lots of info. I would personally go with a 01-02 if you can find one in your price range. They already have the ls6 intake on them and even have a slightly better stock exhaust if you can find on that is still stock.

    Wait a little bit longer. For whatever reason, 99up and especially 01-02s are still REALLY expensive compared to what they should be using normal depreciation curves. When the fifthgens are more common maybe they'll come down in price.
    Buy made in the United States. Otherwise your job might be next. Unless you already wear black shoes and a visor with golden arches on it to work in which case your fellow american has already failed you.

    That's because they're LS1s! They're never going to be dirt cheap.

    I've heard of this. Was it only 02 models or did some 01s have it? Also it was hit or miss no?

    Having owned both I'd say the ride, interior, etc... is so much better. I'd take the goat over my t/a any day of the week for a DD.
    However for a fun go fast LSX you can't go wrong with a 4th gen fbody.

    I believe the only way to tell is to look at the block behind the driver side head. It should have part number 12561168. I'm sure Tom will verify this. I've also heard that on the ls1 blocks there is a "bullseye" under the coolant cross over tube on the block and there isn't one on the ls6 block but I am not sure if that is true or not. I have never payed attention to that before. I don't think there is any significant advantage over the ls6 block and the ls1.
