Is this car worth it? 99 SS?

I am looking at a 99 ss with 67k and headers and 4.10 gears and an $1800 stereo system with 6 speed and t-tops. Is it worth it? The guy want 13 thousand.

Re: Is this car worth it? 99 SS?

yea thats about right, but make it can still pass inspection with the headers and whatever else it has, when you drive it try to listen to the rear, make sure its done right with no noise or whinning

Take into consideration that if this person already has 4.10's on it it means that he has raced. U don't know how many of them 67k miles are from the track. I would still buy it though but thats because i love camaros.

How much do the 4.10 gears increase the acceleration?

Re: Is this car worth it? 99 SS?

Well if u have ever driven a camaro with stock gears and then u drive one with 4.10's u will really feel the difference. They will plant u in ur seat off the line.

Re: Is this car worth it? 99 SS?

I heard there are drawbacks to the 410s.
Since they make every gear shorter they make you go through every gear quicker, and so in a 1/4 mile race where stock you might go through 3 gears and finish at the end of third, w/ 410s you might end up finishing at the beginning of fifth, and actually perform worse. Someone had brought this up at camarov6.com, and I think they said 373 were optimum, but that could only be for the v6.

nope... you should definitely play more gran turismo. (I use this alot... it's a damn good game)

Break out GT3 and play around with the gear ratios in a camaro SS. I think the gearing helps alot more than they hurt in the 1/4
