Default Help picking which Camaro

Hi all, new to this forum and to all the goodies that naturally come with chevy's LSx engines. I am currently in the market for a camaro, and would like your opinion on several choices. Below are a few of the more "interesting" posts i saw. Please comment on them. Anything. Be it about the price (too high? How much should i offer), too many mods? Mileage too high? Etc etc.

I know craigslist posting are not 100% accurate, but for the sake of this thread, let's assume that all postings are pretty much spot on.

There is no real set price for these cars. Ive bought a roller for as low as 800$ and have bought another m6 z28 for 3000$. It ran but had cracks in the radiator end tanks it would get hot,leak water and the guy i bought it from had to fill radiator daily. He got fed up with it and i bought it from him on the spot.literally. No way i was letting it go. Took me bout 2hr. To repair. I had a radiator on hand. Filled it water. Was driving it same day.
Just look around.
Abandoned projects, people looking for new car and willing to sell cheap.
They are getting easier to afford. And mod.
I bought a brand new camaro ss off the showroom in 02.

I like the SS for the way the hood and decklid look. But if you find a deal on a Z28, you could always add those parts if you liked the look of it. You can find some higher milage ones for cheap that need a little work. If you plan to mod it, it gives you a nice platform to stat with.
