Default im stuck between choosing

What would be a more better choice a 93 or a 94 camaro. And by better i mean in terms of tuning,buying parts,maintenance,etc.Ive got 2 cars on the horizon of buying soon. There both automatics if that matters. My overall goal of the car is gonna be a street/strip car running in the low 11's/high 10's with most of the power coming from a procharger, proper camshaft and stall converter.Thanks

Do you have emissions in ur state? if so then i would say go with a 96-97 cause they are obdII and they just plug in at the emissions testing place.Also they have a better opti spark its vented and works better. But if thats not an issue i have heard the 93 has more problems then the 94. I have a 94 z28 with an auto. Hopefully more people can chime in with more facts.

94 ALL THE WAY. You can re-flash the computer for your tunes. The 93 requires a new chip to be burned every time. There are a few peculiarities of the 93 which are unique to that year, but the computer is THE BIGGIE.

Prove it

There were some factory freaks but not all. And it wasn't much either.

Lol..ok I though you were saying I was stupid
I was thinking... "he's got a 94 so stick up for them"

I've tried and tried to find a bolt on 93 to race..can't find one anywhere.

I believe the main reason for the 93 being a hair faster (and I almost literally mean, by a hair) is a bit due to it's batch fire, simply because you are getting a bit more fuel. Which is why SFI in 94+ have a bit better economy. That and the M6's (although a bit weaker, or much weaker depending on what M6) had a much more aggressive gearing.

And while I love my 93, I will fully admit that had I known the difference in the years, I'd have gone with a 94. Yet after knowing now, 95 would be my choice since it's still OBD1 and has vented Opti.

Or you could buy a 94 and put a vented opti on like me

That would be cool. I hardly ever see any lsx's or ltx's. I know they are here but definitely dont ever see them driven.
