Difference between Camaro's

[jon-donut]

I was looking into buying a 1998-2002 Camaro SS or a 1998-2002 Camaro z28. I plan on moding the car out to street race it. Is there a major difference between the cars. Im hoping to buy one with the LS1 in it.

essentialy a Z28 was a Camaro with a V8, it also had posi. the SS started life a s a Z28, and they threw a hood, spoiler, 17 inch rims, a better flowing muffler, and slightly different suspension components on. all SS's are Z28's
all 98-02 ss or z28 are ls1 cars

[poormillionaire2]

Yeah, just get a Z28, it will be cheaper. Unless you just really like the look of the SS. But like Gold said, the SS is just a little better from the factory, but if you plan on modding it, both cars are the same except for looks.

thanks and thats what i thought about all the 98-02's being ls1's but wasnt sure. i have been looking for the z28 in the autotrader and on ebay but cant find any in those years. do you know of any other good places to search for camaro's?

[poormillionaire2]

The 98-02 Trans Am/ WS6 has the Ls1 as well.

The WS6 package for the Firebird is the same as the SS package for the Camaro.

The Firebird/TA/WS6 weighs more than the Camaro/Z28/SS.

Other than looks, the Pontiac is not really that different from the Chevrolet.

however, if you dont wanna go through the hassle of changing springs, rear ends (prolly will if you wanna seriously drag it), rollbars and a bunch of other things, make sure you do look into Ss's..sometimes they're cheaper. (like in my case)
