Each individual fbody is different no matter what year. There are some factory beasts out there that have left people in awe! It justs depends on personal experiences with certain 98 fbody cars and personally I would never trade my 98 for a 02!

I bought a bone stock '98 T/A with 113,000 miles on it, it ran like ****. Took it apart and found the rod in four pieces. Two in the pan, one on the piston and the big end still spinning around on the crank with the bolts in perfect condition.

Stall it and it will put a smile on your face from ear to ear. I couldn't believe the difference.
