well i really love the 3rd gen body style and evrything about it. but since they told me that 3rd gen v-6 weren't as powerful as 93+ v-6 camaros, not quite sure the difference but there was a big difference between them) it was kinda of' a downner. i really dont want a v-8 kuz of gas prices right now, i live in cali. 2.55 for '87, a lil pricey for me. was lookin for a v-6 camaro( 85' through 92')

Re: To All Camaro Owners
lt1 M6 can get 20/30mpg town/highway. Might be able to run midgrade and it'd be worth the upgrade in performance.

Re: To All Camaro Owners
Best 3800 is the 96-97 M5 they are quik and for some reason the 98+ are weak in my opinion. Ive driven both and the 98+ just feel cheap and gut less.

Re: To All Camaro Owners
Hhhmmm, well I wouldnt know about that... the 98+ being gutless, possibly just the one you drove.
I drove a 96 3.8 and it was gutless... due to mechenical wear.
I have a 2001 V6. Its not real fast but its got some get up and go. They are definately fun cars though and I am very happy with my purchase. Im not even sure if there is a big market for 3rd Gen V6's, they just dont last nearly as long. Odds are you will probably be buying one that will be on it's death bed. Infact, I have heard (so im not certain on this) that the newer V6's have more power than a lot of the 3rd gen V8's.
Also take into consideration how old you are (because I dont know how old you are). I am 18 and my camaro is $280 a month to insure (I got comp and collision) just because of my age, where I live, and that fact that it is classified as a 2 door sports car. But I love my car.

3rd gen v6's = 2.8, 3.1. Both weeeak and balless. and the 3.8's with a few mods (actualyl stock for stock depending on teh driver) can take out 3rd gen 305's. Also I havent been able to... test it myself but I have seen many many many times that 3.8's beat pre-98 mustang GTs.
