Its got 4wheel disk brakes, so that knocks out it being a 93-96 V6. So I'm going to go on a limb and take a big friendly guess that its a 97 V6 Camaro w/ a 98-02 front clip. Ofcourse, all of this could have been swapped out. I just wonder what the story is behind this.

B) Someone would have to have re-painted it that color (hugger orange wasn't an LT1 color) and therefore assuming it's an LT1 because of black handles would me moot...
C) I've seen plenty of LS1's with black handles (one of our sposnors', SAM, pics on the side bar even shows a red SS with black handles, my friend's 1998 had them as well)

B) black handles wouldnt automatically mean its an LT1. It would just give a pretty good idea that it came from the LT1 era. My 95 3.4L had black handles.

This is kinda fun.. So whats your guess? If you had to make one. I'm going w/ a 97 w/ a 98-02 front clip for $4,999 Alex. Which will leave me w/ $1 FTW

Definetly not a 1997... I don't forsee someone going through all that work and putting hazed headlights on the car.
I think it's a 2000 that was black w/factory GFX that were removed and it has been re-painted...
The car was obviously painted, THE ANTENNA WAS SHAVED, hugger orange (if that's what it is) cars did not come with black handles, the side molding is gone and the "red" tips everyone is complaining about is obvious overspray.

Oh, and the reason I think it had factory GFX as opposed to someone just adding that spoiler is because the paint on the spoiler looks thick as hell (the lines of the spoiler aren't as distinguishable as normal) which makes me think the spoiler was left on during painting the car and it was sprayed heavy to cover the mulit-layered (spoiler on quarter panel) area.
That's a short-cut way of doing things but from the overspray on the tips and on the inside of the wheel (back passenger) you can see short cuts were taken...
Although, the paint looks very deep and lacking of orange peel so it's probably good paint work just lazy prep work.
