You missed one very important reason my friend. With a 4th gen Camaro you can sport the wickedest mullet ever and it will be acceptable and actually expected.
I just sold my 5th Gen!! I loved it! Theses cars are very light . I had a 383 stroker 95 z28. 28 mph and would blister my 5th Gen! It was 450 rwhp... 6 speed. Very underrated! I am getting another one! Real driver car my friends!

Bought my 6 speed Z28 new in 93, ordered it 2 months before they went into production, I've been racing it on all kinds of road racing events since it was new. We did 7 One Lap of Americas through the 90's, and now we've been doing track day events with it for the last couple decades around Michigan, Ohio and Penn. Pulled the motor, built a 600 hp. 383 Lt1, 12:1 JE pistons, AFR heads and Howards crank and rods, Comp cam, all American made parts, put a Moser 9" floating axil road racing rear end in it. The car is flawless at 210,000 miles, most of them on race tracks, the car looks and drives better than new. These are one of the best handling and most aero cars ever built, it's is one of the fastest cars at the track anyplace we unload, I'm so lucky to own a car like this, everything still works, air, stereo, heat, have never touched the six speed, best transmission ever produced.
210k miles on a t56 with track time???? you must be on hell of a driver haha. I got my t56 with 94k miles and it is pretty rough in my 01 trans am. At 98k miles right now. Im thinking next couple years will need a t56 rebuild. the t5 in my 02 v6 daily driver is still smooth after 98k miles though
These are the most comfortable cars, you can travel all day, everything is in the right spot, we did the Cannon Ball One Lap of America 9 times in my 93, in complete comfort, very well engineered car.
Thumbs up !! Great vid awesome car, personally I have a 1995 v6 runs pretty solid still after 23 years and 126k miles. The best car I have ever owned. I bought it in 2000. 18+ years owning it.

Did you slam your thumb in the massive camaro door too? lmao I did that same thing when I got my first camaro... very painful, have never done that again. Also yes 2002 was the last for T-tops, I have one of the last 1000 Camaros built before they shut down the plant a pewter grey T-top Camaro. Nice thing about the 02 camaro's is somewhere in 2001 the 4L60E transmissions got a upgrade, so the 4L60's in 01 and 02 were either a performance pack, or the 4L65E wich was basically just another 4L60E performance pack. rated for 380hp (in reality about 450 safely) so good room for improvement on the engine without worrying about it, although the 6 speed is the best option unless your competitive drag racing in wich case your 10bolt will detonate anyway... lol Again, easy to upgrade you can put better axle shafts in the rear and switch between open diff and POSI in just minutes if you happen to have both diffs laying around. (fyi)
The 4th gen is definitely fun!! I had a 95 Z28 and I loved it! Super fun to drive. Had a 3in Flowmaster system and sounded incredible!! But nowadays for just a Lil bit more you can get a C4 corvette!! I was actually looking for a T/A and found a few vettes C4s for just a bit more money. So obviously I got the vette! Lol I got a 92 LT1 C4 and it's hands down night and day different!!! A ton of engineering went into the C4 and you can feel it!!! Plus it has more power, better block being 4 bolt main vs 2 in the Fbodies and everything else! You get so much more car for just a Lil more cash
Man I really want one myself because I’m 21 I dream about getting one of those cars Because I used to getting a ride in one of those when I was a kid my dad Used to have one it was a 96 black one & he had a 2000 Chevy Camaro LS2
seanman1231 well me and many people believe that gas milage should be taken into account when looking for a car to purchase despite the kind of engine.
George Martin people who buy v8’s don’t worry about gas mileage, that’s not why they buy them, they buy for the fun driving experience, my car gets 25 miles to the gallon on the highway, it’s not a big deal to me
My first car was a 96 z28. Loved it but super unreliable, but hey, it thought me how to work on cars. If you're looking for a project car, pick up a 97+ with an LS1. The extra money is worth it.
@@TMOA1234 Distributor problems. The optispark was a weak spot and they aren't cheap. Had to get both engine and trans replaced. This was almost 10 years ago. I would say spend the extra bucks on an ls1 f-body. There's also a better aftermarket.
98 was first year for LS1 in these. Personally I’m getting a 95 trans am but the mileage and year combined is why. Besides I’m actually one of the few who actually like the LT1. You can spend a little extra cash these days and buy an aftermarket computer and wire it up and change the ignition system to the LS style individual coils on an LT block. Honestly with that combination you’ve got yourself a pretty good setup. It’s heavier than an LS but it’s a design from years of working out kinks where as the early LS engines had some problems with oiling and premature cylinder wear if you weren’t carful
Brad Smith never said mine had a problem. The only reason I’m considering the the ignition upgrade myself is because you get more tuning options with a coil over plug setup
Hello I live in France and I plan to buy a Z28 What is the best transmission for these vehicles 4-speed auto or manual 6-speed gearbox is at the level of the price of the box and fuel consumption which I remember in France is $ 8 ~ the gallon, is and is the V6 3.8 as reliable as the V8 LT1 or V8 LS1 ?🙂
So, i got a question. I live in Mexico, currently a student and i work in a part time job (35 hours a week) so you probably guessed it already but i don't have much money, even so i want a 4th gen so badly, so i'm thinking on buying a V6 (a 3.8 if possible) would you guys recommend it? Is is worth it or should i just stick with other options until i can afford a Z28?
this is a nicely made video. I made similar ones about my v6 daily driver firebird. Will probably do more when i modify my ls1 trans am in the next month or two.
Do those tops have a keyed lock? I would definitely oil/grease up all of the mechanisms first, and then lock them down. You wouldn't want some jealous, malicious scumbag to steal your tops for laughs. Yes, I've seen it happen before. There are many punky haters out there.
the LT1 is NOT a 350, its a redesign of the 350. its a great engine, but has a not so great ignition system. my LT1 has 247K on the car. she's a 1996 Z28. still an awesome car.... my car needs paint. the LT1 is a great engine but you have to understand its quirks.

The trans am was for the guy who wanted sports car style where the Camaro was for the guy who wanted a call back to the muscle car era.
