-Keep your current Camaro as is, just maintain it right.
-Save money for year
-Buy 98 or newer Camaro with LS-1
-Sell your old Camaro

that will be the most cost effective way to get what you're looking for
better handling, better braking, 6spd trans, reliabilty, better gas mileage
and so on

 

+1 on Niburu's idea. You can get a 98 or newer camaro for under 10 grand all day. I actually think Corey R is selling his for 5k or something

 

just get an old honda civic like everyone else does, throw i/h/e on it and call it a day.

oh and put a shocker sticker on it. and start calling it jdm. and get a mugenspoon lip for it. and go beat vettes all day long with it.

 

82-92 look way better than the 93-98's do!

 

I don't think so at all actually. the body style changed in 98 to the most current one. The years you are talking about are 93-97. here is a budy of mine's 97 z28. I love it Myspace.com Blogs - The New Look! - Jonathan MySpace Blog

 

I said 98 or newer
I guess there is no accounting for taste, or lack there of
anyway your only other choice would be to find a wrecked one (wait for a nice rainy day) and then transplant all the parts that will swap over

 

personally i love the rear end of the 4th gen's but i hate the front ends and the eay the look on the side profile

 

now why cant i do the same with vette, find a pos and trans plant. it would still be cheapish, and therre alot of those things in salvage yards?

 

There are? and with LSx motors in them?
And what'll you use for a transmission?
You do know where newer Vette's keep their gears right...

 

the motor in the vette and the camaro are the same....both ls-1's unless you find a ls-6 which came in the z06 vette. Still an ls-1 can be made better with minimal money.
