Default Bought my Camaro SS finally!!!!!

Hey Guys,

I was on here a few months ago looking to buy a nice Camaro SS. Well, I finally found the one I wanted and that was a good deal! I found a 2002 Camaro SS 35th Anniversary model LE, yes LE Z4C code with 34,00 miles....and the best part, only $13,500!!!!!! I love the fact that NADA made it hard to locate the true value of the Z4C Camaros...........the dealer, yes dealer....did not know what car he had. It's got the automatic in it, which I am fine with.......hey I'm 42 years old now and don't need all that shifting. Anyway, here are some pics of the car............

It's 34,000 miles. The car is awesome! The pics are from the dealership we picked the car up from. We drove from Missouri (me and my son) to Florida last weekend and picked the car up. It has already spanked his 94 ram-ar trans am........not too bad though, just by about 1 car in an 1/8 mile. Anyway, it runs great stock. I'm looking for info on the best headers.....I think I have already selected the AFR 205 heads and cam package from Texas Speed.........thoughts?

Awesome car, great price (though I'm not so sure LE cars are really worth that much more than a "regular" SS).

Take TSP's advice on headers and heads/cam. AFR 205 heads are a perfect pic for the street. cams in the 224 range are good pics too. I went with a 225/229 cam for my daily driver. Right now, Vengance grinds and TFS heads are very popular. Might take a look in their direction at the same time.

Have fun!

The 35th LE option is something that will give the car extra value over a regular SS. Who knows how much more. I know if look it up on NADA it's a bunch more! Thanks for the input on the heads/cam. I'm looking for a combination that eqals around 450rwhp.......

Congrat's on your find!!.450 HP should be easily attainable,especially w/a cam and head package.The "search" button on here can help answer most of your questions.

Please show me just ONE person who butchered up a GNX by putting an LSx in it. Also, they made what, like 547 or so of the GNX cars and probably all but 20 of them are tucked away in climate controlled garages awaiting future auctions. Hell, show me more than 20 converted regular (even the hot-air cars) GN's of any year that were converted to LSx mills and I will eat a bug.

I'm a member on turbobuick.com and yes I've seen a couple over there. They weren't really butchered and all original parts were saved to put the car back stock if needed.........there are a lot in climate control garages though!
