whats up everyone i am new to ls1 but not chevy i went today to look at this 2000 camaro ss 6 spd real nice car. the problem is ive been in my buddys ws6s and z28s and those things are rocket ships but for some reason this particular camaro couldnt even bake tires in first gear or chirp 2nd anyone have any idea whats goin on maybe its something common ? it has 80000 miles on it runs and drives like a dream just has no ***** !!

 

It could be at 80K it just needs new spark plugs, wires, a fuel filter and clean the MAF.

 

if the fuel filter hasnt been changed regularly that could def be it, all it takes is 1 or 2 tanks of shitty gas...

especially right after the ******* hurricanes, all the gas around here was full of all kinds of **** and I had to change the filter every 3,000 miles

 

Just a thought was the traction control on? If you couldn't spin the tires in a ls1 there is a problem. Go back make sure the TC is off bring it up to 5000 and drop it.

 

now thats a test drive!
use that as some leverage to beat them up on the price of the car

 

the traction was off lol im not that new the dealer basically gave me and my buddy the keys and told us to be back in a hour so i got alot of time to experiment and the power was just not there the dealer told me they had a intake tube bent and the maf was dirty but you have to understand this car had no ***** i got back in my caviler and it felt faster than that

 

Could be a number of reason, carbon buildup, sludge from the terrible pcv system on these cars. Loss of compression.... of reason but the red flags are there for a buyer.... I wouldnt buy it unless it was one hell of a sweet deal and you want to work on it.

 

are you talkin about the one on rte2? the white one? if not then i know where another one is, i test drove it and it had some serious nuts. and there is another white z28 a4 on rte 2 as well 98 for 8k
