WOW, Its goin to be next to impossible to beat the handling of an AWD, without replacing ALOT of the suspension parts. But I mean dont get my wrong I love my Camaro and you cant beat the low end torue compared to waiting till 3-4 K til you hit good power, Another plus is a F body looks a billion times better then an Evo

Well I'm trading my in , because it's actually cheaper than the evo and i am goign to college so i am going to need something that is fast and still enjoyable...

Well.. Someone mentioned that I do have a line lock?.. How do i do that?.
Now the lid I can get the slp lid from ebay for 85 bucks or something.....
Probably new shocks/springs /wheels?. Any suggestions on the size of the wheels and the size of the tires?.. Thanks!!

I love the way they sound(V8).. It just sounds really nice. Don't get me wrong I still love me Evo but my dream car is a vette so I am trying to get the feeling of a RWD V8 before I jump on a vette in a couple of years.! Thanks everyone!

lower control arms in front and back will make a noticable diff
be carefull putting lowering springs on it if you have headers some drag and most kits go lower on these cars then advertised

Koni adjustables, Strano's swaybars, and some decent rubber and the Z will outhandle the Evo. It's a myth that F-bodies can not handle. The shocks are just horrible and they are harder to drive. AWD helps but RWD is just as good if setup right.

Well, this is about as close to a vette as you can get for the money. good choice! sorry, no advice on the suspension. we tend to concentrate on straight line preformance. BUT YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!

Nice car and im in mass too, worcester/shrewsbury area. To handle like your evo your going to need at least some strano front and rear sway bars and some revalved bilsteins on lowering springs of your choice. Thats where I would start.
