Re: To All Camaro Owners
i pay 70 bucks a month... for just PLPD.. but thats on my name.. and i have a spotless driving record.
* the 3.8 is a little better on performance, but the 3.4's are gonna be cheaper to buy and not too far behind them.. the 3.4 also came with better gearing.. IMO. But this is coming from someone who's had a 3.4 for years, dumped a shit load of money into it and still isnt happy... you be the judge...

I agree with u totaly ive seen it and ive done it in my friends 96 M5 3.8 Camaro with 130,000 miles. Those littel 3.8's are crazy strong. Ive test driven a few of the newer ones even have a friend with a 99 3.8 but its no match for the 96 my friend has. Im not trying to put down ur car R.Oconnor but ive just never driven a 98+ 3.8 that has the same balls as the 96-97 3.8s

if u really want a third gen, i strongly suggest getting a v8, the v6 third gens had absolutely no balls. but 4th gen sixers have some balls, especially the first two years of the 3.8...

Re: To All Camaro Owners

don't quote me on this, but i think the '98 and up are heavier cars, at least i think i remember hearing that somewhere... i'm not sure where the extra wieght would come from but i swear i heard that somewhere...

Re: To All Camaro Owners
hhmmmm, Well we need to find out where that extra weight is so I can start unbolting shit lol.
Actually if I wanted to reduce weight the first thing to go: every electric option (power locks and windows)

personally i'd ditch rear seats and spare tire b4 the power options... converting ur windows to manual would require getting a new door cover... so u can have a whole for the handle
besides only midgets can fit in our backseats anyway so they are worthless lol

wait a minute i just thought of something... did they change the rear axle gearing in '98? cuz that would make a big difference. honestly i can see GM doing that in order to get better gas mileage in 5th gear...

Re: To All Camaro Owners
Ah, I can fit them back there, just the only response to complaining is "Shut up bitch and fork up the gas money or im not letting you out" lol.
But you do have a point... I would like to keep my back seats but I can loos the tire and jack

""backseats" So thats what they are called, I always refer to them as the big upholstered glove box.

Re: To All Camaro Owners
1: Take your tire and jack out is just fucking stupid. I don't care what you are running.
2: I had a 5'9" friend of mine sit in the back seat without his legs being put over on the other seat. Not to mention a 350lb friend of mine in the front seat. And I was still peeling out ^_^.
3: Backseats are worthless depending how many friends you got.
