now the '98 models did have a bigger cam and a faster ramping throttle body... but that was offset by the fact that it had the crappy LS1 intake and those horrible heads from the '98 model year... which was the only year that the LS1s in Camaros had the perimeter bolt heads... I believe those were the 853 casting heads.

I would say its a good buy. I bought my 1999 v6 for 5,500 71,000miles, t-tops, ss hood, dual exhuast (just the tips), black leather seats, and a small spoiler. But the left window doesn't go down, the trunk needs those air lifters, and a new gasket. So buying that ls1 is a good buy for me but u need more info on it, i was looking for a ls1 too but they were all over 7,000

When I bought My 98 z28 A year ago High book was $6800. So 6000 ins't too bad as long as it doesn't have tons of mile, or if the body is hammered. The LS1 is a reliable engine. I usually don't rev mine above 3000 rpms. You just don't need to. Thats the beauty of 10.5:1 comp. As for the ss or Z28. the Z28's all come w/ the LS1 .The SS came out half a year later and has a little more power. mine is rated at 305 horse and 335 ftlbs the ss is 320 horse and 345 ftlbs. I don't think there is any other difference between the two, other that a few cosmetic details. If you want The best performance look for a WS6 Ram air trans am they are geared better for the top end. I know I could be flogged off of the forum for sayin Trans am: but its all GM right.

'camaro2009', I have a friend, whose mother owns a very nice/clean SS.
I believe its an '01 or '02, 6 spd., t-tops, dark leather, painted 10 spokes, etc... I know you said traveling to find one isnt an issue, but I'm not sure Pa. isnt too far? |
