i have a 95 Z28 camaro, which is the same engine you have.

you can get close to 20mpg. i get 21 sometimes. its really not that bad, considering my 98 nissan altima got 22-23mpg, its not bad at all.

i drive mine daily

how many miles are on the car?


problems with it, lets see....
power window motors are crap. expect to replace them
ignition fuses from what i have been told tend to blow sometimes, its worth keeping some spares
Opti-spark module....500 dollar part. that is your ignition system.
chagning sparkplugs may require a college degree
if it has over 100K, go to chevy dealer and get a Knock MODLUE from a 95 corvette (LT4 motor) and replace the one on your computer. it will help with the general performance of your car. the LT1 (your engine) knock module is sensitve to the info that the sensor sends to it, which retards the timing and makes the car run like shit. supposedly, the LT4 knock module is less sensitive, as if the car is near brand new specs. its about 35 bucks at a chevy dealer, worth the investment
AC system is not the greatest, not very cold, but gets a job done.
car tends to run hot, but as soon as you are back at speed the temp guage goes back to normal.
changing almost anything on this car is a bitch.



there is a huge amount of great info on the web that i have been coming across on these cars. there is a lot you can do to them, and a lot to know.
