BRO, this car got the same engine displacement and configuration as Mitsu Eclipse Mk4, you could cruise all day in that car with ease, while being able to get distracted. It doesn't have the same top speed and hi-end torque as a V8, but if you don't need your car to be super, then this is best.
Heard these engines won numerous awards from j.d. powertrain if I'm saying it right. Bulletproof motor if you keep up oil changing.nice car.. Always liked camaros.especially 2nd gens - through fourth.
I was going to engine swap a V8 for my V6 stock. I’m thinking of keeping it V6 now. I hear a lot of good things about this V6 engine. I have a 2002 35 anni stock coupe
I could say the same but with the late 90s / early 00s Holden Commodores. The closest we got was the Cadillac Catera, but they never got the LS1 or the 3800 like y’all did!

Very cool man I love these engines good gas and power in one for a v6 I wish I had the supercharged version! But sadly they didn’t make that a option for the 4th gen camaros
@@Hellbird-uk7yi I hate that the 3.8 ford thunderbird got an Eaton supercharger. To get that one to fit is even more of a nightmare than getting the Buick one to fit because you need an adaptor plate for the lower manifold.
@@Hellbird-uk7yi I actually love the 3.8 so far. I got the 5 speed one and it's pretty quick. Manual swaps for these are stupid easy. The ss and z28 single piece drive shafts and the limited slip rears also bolt up with no mods.
@@dr.feelgood2363 Yeah, bud. The firebird and the camaro v6 from both the 3rd gen and 4th gen have a borgwarner t5. In fact it's almost the same transmission that's in the mustangs as I have a pro 5.0 short shifter on mine.
@@Hellbird-uk7yi There is no smell more comforting than the interior of my 94’ Z28. I love that car so fuking much I just might marry it. I’m looking into the v6s for a potential winter beater/grocery getter with good gas mileage.
does anyone know if the 3800 V6 version of the Camaro suffers from engine fire? this engine was used in Pontiac and some of their models were recalled due to engine fires.
Great car with a 5 speed. But the factory shifter sucks. I'd recommend a pro 5.0 short shifter as a replacement. I'd also recommend looking for a z28 drive shaft. The motors are also perfect for building a boosted setup.
I got one of these back in march or april of 2021. Love my car. Hope you enjoy! welcome to the f-body v6 club lol
Thank you, I’m enjoying it, i also have a LS1 firebird the camaro is the daily👌🏻
A great daily driver too!

Yes these engines are very good, nothing major ever happened sorry for late response

@@quinnaston keep it until it dies brother gonna be a while tho
I have an 02. Same color, but with the chrome rims. Fun car. American Thunder exhaust.
Just bought one today. Exact same color. I am changing the factory rims on mine
Shame camaros never gained a foot hold here in Australia really nice car mate
Soon you can probably import them! And thanks mate

Bro I miss my car. Wrecked it in '21. RIP.
Nice car. I just bought a 2000 with only 17K original miles!
Wow that’s awesome man is it a v6 as well?
@@Hellbird-uk7yi yep.
@@carlisclinton6062 nice man
Very cool! My friend just got a 2002 70k 3.8 Camaro, I love the 3800 engine and my car has the supercharged version :) very cool car

Got me one-o them! Everything from the v8 can swap over. I stuck some chrome z28 wheels on it and it completely changes the look.
I bet I’m trying to look for wheels as well but the ones on there are nice

My grandma got me a catfish Camaro like this with an LS1 V8
Man my car is an absolute beast and it's so fast and great looking
Yep that’s how my dads Ls1 firebird is it’s quick for the year and what it is
@@Hellbird-uk7yi And technically it's my first car too and everyone loves it at high school so yeah
@@highoctanegames same as me my first car and most people like it at my school
@@Hellbird-uk7yi damn that's nice, epic
amazing car ! im about to dump a year worth of saving in one of these . 2000 v6 to be exact .. any commmon problems ? major issues these cars has?
One in manual is a dream car forsure. Very rare though sadly.
What a innocent lil camaro
Not for long 😏😏
Thinking about engine mods
Great cars
Sure are
I also have those exact same color seats which I don't like. I'm going to be getting seat covers
Nice car man! 👌🏻
Thanks bro 🤘🏻
I can already smell that interior……..
Is that a good thing or bad lol
@@Hellbird-uk7yi There is no smell more comforting than the interior of my 94’ Z28. I love that car so fuking much I just might marry it. I’m looking into the v6s for a potential winter beater/grocery getter with good gas mileage.
That’s what I got, I have a ls1 firebird and a v6 camaro as the daily great on gas
does anyone know if the 3800 V6 version of the Camaro suffers from engine fire?
this engine was used in Pontiac and some of their models were recalled due to engine fires.
Haven’t heard anything like that maybe that’s on the earlier ones
Also changing headlights to LED
omg my broter 2000
what’s a 3.8l 5 speed like on gas? would you daily drive one as a project / beater ?
Great on gas I daily drive mine and to fill up whole thing is 45 and lasts about 2 weeks 22 mpg
