Camero advice and insight
Hi everyone,
I have been considering getting a camero but don't know much about them or at the moment know alot about the mechanics. I know alot of the basics but as far as overall tinkering I am a novice. Any tips or hints on what to look for and avoid and well anything you can offer to someone looking for a camero thats looking to for now spend up to $4000.00? I don't mind learning about the cars and how to work on them but I need it to be a reliable daily driver at the same time. Thanks everyone, Joe

Re: Camero advice and insight
tip: learn to spell it right before they all get bitchy....umm, what are you wanting? a cheap v8, practical v6? the 3.4's are prone to overheating i have read and the one i owned did, 3.8's will practically last forever and are pretty nice for a v6, you might luck into a 93 or 94 z28 with some miles for 4k, look for the optispark and normal things that start to break on a 10-15 year old car

Re: Camero advice and insight
Camaro! Sorry for the typo.
So the 3.4s are prone to overheating good to know. I am probably going to be going with a 6 with gas prices and all. Now forgive me but what is a and or the "optispark"? Also what are the big differences in the regular Camaro, the Z28 ect.? Thanks again, Joe

Re: Camero advice and insight
Im my opinion, someone who spells camAro like 'camero' shouldn't drive one.
What you're looking for sounds like a small eco car, but for the love of god, don't buy a foreign car.

Re: Camero advice and insight
Z28 is a sports package...one up from RS. They are all V8s...very fun...
the regular camaros are available with a V8 but mines a V6

Re: Camero advice and insight
Stephanie83,
I know how to spell camaro I am just very tired and did a typo. No one is perfect. I do not want an econo car I don't see any problem with a car like a Camaro, Firebird, or Mustang with an engine thats not an 8. I was even considering 4 cyl. Mustangs, but like the looks of the Camaros and Firebirds better. I would like a fun car that is not going to bleed me dry as thats what the Jeep does. It may be sturdy but sucks on gas! Being a full time college student and part time Mobile DJ I need the jeep to haul my gear. Is it a crime to want a fun car for the warmer months? Sorry for the rant but man when I am asking for advice I don't like to be insulted. I'm not an iddiot. Thanks, Joe

My 98 z28 with a m6 gets on the freeway about 26 mpg. So do the math. The sporty cars are pretty good on gas mileage

Re: Camero advice and insight
Yeah check out the newb picking on people already.
Buy a 305! You can still be a bad ass with a V8, and it wont be a gas whore like the 5.7.

Or you can NOT buy a 305.. those are horrible with gas mileage and even 3rd gen v6s are bad with gas mileage.. my 3.1 gets as much as a Z28 Ls1.
