One thing though I kinda wish they'd done in the 5th gen that I really like in the 4th, is the arodynamics the 4th gen has. The 5th gen is really big, but the design is really good.

But the upside is when the 5th gen comes out, the 4th gens are going to be selling for cheap.
well, to keep with changing safety standards and other things, the "raked" look went away. plus going back to the heritage of the car inspired a lot of its design. the lt1 aerodynamics are freaking crazy. I cant remember off hand, but the drag coefficient on the LT1s was like 23% or something super low like that. better than some corvettes.

I was looking at the forums on z28.com, and look at a quesiton I found, here.

I didn't know the LT1 Camaro had traction control? Was it for later LT1's? 'Cause I don't think mine has it. (1994 Z28).

Is traction control a good thing?
94s didnt have tc. t/c came on 95+ camaros. (thankfully...lol)

Anyway...it drives fine now...it used to ping when you would accelerate heavily, but now drives fine.



But MAN was that thing hard to get to. And you needed like 5 different tools in order to get the dang thing off.

WOW!

EDIT: Also, Thanks for the tips and advice

yeah, opti changes are a bitch. did you replace the water pump as well while you were in there? jw.

I still woulda changed the whole thing as the contacts inside the opti can be corroded and not make a good connection even with the new rotor.
