Ok. so im going to get a camaro 1998 or above to get the ls1. which one should i get.

1999 z28 Pearlesant blue/green with 74,000 miles. shifts perfect and looks perfect has the slp exhaust motot is stock. 9,800

2000 SS white, has 84,000 miles has been in a accident and has been fixed. but you can tell. the nose has spider cracking and the rugs are stained inside. 10,500

2002 z28 Maroon with 70,000 miles and looks perfect and i havent gotten to take it for a drive but sounds good. 11,000

ANY help would be great from you guys

Any but the second one. I'd say go with the maroon one, but talk him down to like $9500.

First or third would work. See which one would give you a better deal.

I would say the third...it has the LS6 intake and I would like the maroon alot more that the blue/green. I would for sure try to talk him down on that price though.

bro, none of those sound like a great deal to me. just yesterday i sold my 2000 z28 m6 with 39k for 9500. i say u keep looking

First and third are the obvious choices, but I don't like those colors so I'd say none.

I'd go with option one or three. Option one sounds like it's mystic teal, but I could be wrong. Option 3 is only better because it has an LS6 intake and it might be a little bit easier to get financed for if you have to take that route. Both option 1 & 3 are good color choices that you don't see often.

FWIW, I bought my 2000 A4 Z-28 2-3 mons ago for $9500 with 51k on it bone stock down to the paper filter and stock exhaust

I'd wait it out and find a better deal. I payed $6,250 for my Bright Green Metallic Z28 about two months ago with 70,000 on the clock and a clean title. Found her here on LS1tech in the for sale section.


Of the three, I'd pick the third, but would rather wait. There's plenty of these things out there for dirt.

Especially now, I'm hoping I can find someone that needs to sell theirs quick to keep their house =D

I voted #1 cause I hate maroon cars for the most part

Unless its something fancy like candy brandywine metallic or something custom

I like the green/blue, a guy a work just got one of those but its a six

i'd say the third option if it drives ok and you can talk them down to $8k - $9k....otherwise, keep looking

don't get the 2nd one, overpriced for being in an accident and not repaired right.

SickkSS01

Third one sounds like the best bet, because of the LS6 intake and lower miles. However, as others have stated, you should be able to get a better deal than what you have listed.

I'd go with #1 because LS6 intakes are only worth $350 used, not a few grand. Also never forget, an LS1 is an LS1 is an LS1. They are all the same in the end, especially once modding comes into play. try talking them down in price too, the 99 can probably negotiated down another $1k.

i agree.

between the 2002 and the 1999, 99 has a bigger stock cam.
granted, it isn't by much
when you throw the ls6 intake and some headers on, it should make more power than 2002 with the same mods.

i don't recommend buying a car that has been in an accident or has been neglected as you described.

thing is, 2002 will have the radio controls on the wheel if you're into that.
then there's that whole stigma about throwing down all that money on a car that was built 10 years ago.
personally, my 99 is kept better than most 2-3 year old cars i've seen. in my opinion, you're going to be good with any LS1 that has been well kept. but if it doesn't jump out and surprise you how great the car was taken care of, move along to the next one. you got enough pressure on you as the LS1 is one hell of a sweet talker once you start it up.

if those prices are firm... i would go with the first option...

if u could talk the guy down on the 2002, then go with that.

do not buy the crashed/fixed vehicle... esp for that price

EDIT... and my 98 firebird has steering wheel radio controls... not sure if its the same for the camaro's... but i never use them ne ways

which one is M6? i choose that one.

otherwise, i'd go with the SS... i guess i'd have to see how deep the damage was, but i hate both of the other colors.

they all seem a bit high except for the last one. Im tryin to sell my 00 Z28, has some mods and a SS hood. asking 10 so IMO option 1 is too high. Sounds like nothing but trouble with option 2 since it was not repaired right.

If you really want an SS wait till you find a lower mile 01 02. If you want somthing now then get the 02 and offer him 9k.
