Default What to get???

Alright i cant deciede on whether to get a 2000 Z28 or a 2000 SS.. I have read other forums that say they both are pretty much the same just some different hood and suspision and wing. But is there really a big different in horsepower and speed. Let me know what you guys think.

The SS will be slower usually.
























This is due to the fact that it attracts more women and will have a passenger therefor more often than the Z


PS. Get whatever is in the best shape. A spoiler and a hood can always be added. But please, dont do SS badges or say it's something it's not.

I agree, pick based on the individual car, not the Z28 vs SS.

That said you may get a better deal on a Z28 as they were cheaper, and lower optioned Z28s can be found.

Plus your personal style is a factor. I actully like Camaros better w/out ground effects, or the bigger SS wing. But that is just me....I like my Z28 subtle

I'm with subtleZ. Thanks to Mystic Teal paint, my car will always be a sleeper.

There's little discernable difference in performance really. Go with whichever you can get for the better deal, or if you really prefer the looks of one over the other.

just like all the rest said get the one that is in the best possible condition. U can always add stuff so don't be worried about that as a factor, choose what you like the best and that your happy with it 's your choice.
