Anyone Regrets Selling Your 4th Gen F-Body?

[ex-SS-ve]

Do not miss it at all. The 5th gen is lightyears ahead of a 4th gen in every way.

[RedRock 2SS/RS]

Here is my 95 Z28 the day I traded it for my 14 SS:




I owned this car for 21 years, had a smidge over 99,000 miles when I sold it. I miss it from time to time, but my new SS is just so much more, and then some. This 95 Z28 was a little unusual because of the red roof bar, red mirrors and torch red interior.

Had it been an LS1, I might have tried to keep it. Believe it or not, it still had the factory original OptiSpark when I sold it. This was a great car too - never did it leave my stranded and other than fuel and oil it never had any issues.

I must respectfully disagree. I had zero issues seeing out the back window in my 2002 SS. 5th Gen Camaros much worse looking at the rear. My only problem I had with my 02 SS was the cheap/uncomfortable seats. I'm searching to buy a low mileage 01-01 SS now and I will have the front seats modified adding more/better foam. Also, I don't think you can compare the 95 and up Z/28s with the 01-02 SS. The 01/02 SS were great Camaros. Maybe the most underrated Sports Car in existence today along with the 90s ZR1.

Wonder if 4th Gens will ever be highly sought after like the Gens before them

I hope so. They deserve a lot of credit. Underrated. Only issue I have or had were the cheap uncomfortable front seats.

I loved 4th gens, I had a bunch:

94 z/28 quasar blue
98 ss black
98 formula red
98 z/28
00 z/28

3 are race cars to this day.

I might get another one to build on the side.

But the 5th gen is a way different and better care. I dare not drive a 6th gen.

It's going to be interesting to see if they do and that's for sure

Who wants a 6th Gen ?

Had a 97 3.8 firebird, I thrashed that car for 2 years

Was a great and fun car for a 19 year old

I miss my LE SS but I didn't sell it. There were two guys that apparently liked it more than I did.

Watcha do that for???? Hell no would I ever sell my 4th gen! J/K....the 4th gens are an interesting study. Very lightweight and lethal on the street, but they are an imperfect breed of car. I knew almost from the beginning that my 4th gen was a keeper, so I knew that my Camaro would influence the cars that I would buy after it. For what its worth, it still feels great on the road, and mechanically it is reliable.

Had a '93 Z/28 and an '01 WS6. Both black. Z was an auto and W was a manual. Both were great cars and put about 200K on both of them. Wish I could have kept them both, but that's the way things go! The only one I have kept is the '69, and that was the one to keep!

I loved the 4th gens as I grew up in high school racing around in them. I had a 94 z28 and my buddies had 99 and 01 SS, they were fun rides but they were always breaking down in one way or the other.
