How do I make sure a 99 camaro is a 99? I have a 98 and screwed up, so, it looks like I need to get a 99+ so I can get the correct tuner equipment. I know I can tune my 98, but, I am not paying $500 to tune just one year car! So, now I have my eyes set on a twin, iin all respects (just happened that way) 99. How do I know or make sure this is not some inbred cross breed redneck 98 disguised as a 99? I need to make sure I have a legitamit 99 complete with tunable 99+ computer as thats the reasoning for a 99+ !?

Yeah the quickest way to check is to look for the centorbolt valve covers...if it has them it's a '99+....if it has perimeter bolt valve covers, it's def. a '98.

Check the VIN.
The 10th digit in the VIN is the model year. For GM, an "X" = 1999. A "W" = 1998.
