ok im fixing to turn 20 and I want to get my self a birthday present. here is a little background I have a 97 ss that needs nothing and runs mid 12s and I have a 97 wrangler with 31s and a 2 in lift(DD); and no mommy and daddy did not buy/give me any of my toys I have worked my ass off since I was 16 to buy everything... now here is the thing I want to ither get a R1 or a ls1 z28 im just not sure what route I wanna go If I got the R1 it would stay stock and I would drive it pry just as much as I do the ss which is about 1000 a year but if i got a ls1 I would be shooting for high 10s in the quater and drive it more than the ss.... so I would like yalls openion on this sorry for the short story....

i say the ls1, i love my 4th gen but im starting to really like the later 4th gens cos of the engines.

LS1 is nice

ss873 · 07-26-2010, 09:39 PM

I would do an LS-1 if I had to do it again. The bike is cool but I have had more fun and friendships come from a camaro than anything.

Ahh, the 97 SS!! I love that car!!!

nascarnate326 · 07-27-2010, 08:45 PM

R1 with out a doubt.

brandotron · 07-30-2010, 04:42 PM

What's an R1?

danhr · 07-30-2010, 05:06 PM

If you plan on keeping the SS, I would get the R1.

Kinda dumb to have two camaros in the garage imo... even if they are two completely different setups.

Sorry about that.

In that case, unless you're really interested in going LS, maybe keep what you have and get the R1. It would be cool having two totally different animals in the same garage

im not a bike guy either. lol not being sarcastic

Fotowns Finest · 07-30-2010, 08:14 PM

A bike would be fun, but that's about it. Being screwed out of stowage and inclament weather would ruin it for me, unless you live near Revo and can ride it year round
