Whats the diffrence between the two Gen 4 camaros I know the looks and the new enging that was put into the camraros after 1998 but why dose eveyone tell me that the 1998 to 2001 are way better then the previous brothers?

 

The engine was the big difference. Front end was different. I'm not sure what else was different. Other than they're newer and usually have fewer miles lol.

 

Is the RHP output the same in both z28?

 

I think the LS1 made more power. From what I hear, they're easier to mod for boost and whatnot.

 

Here's some info I found...
"Both the LS1 and the LT1 are exceptional engines which make tons of power and have even more potential for making monster power. The LS1 has several key advantages over the LT1 including, All Aluminum Block and Heads vs. the cast iron block and heads of the LT1. Also the LS1 makes 35-40 more horsepower straight from the factory. The LS1 is a souped up version of the LT1. Both motors are strong and capable. It just depends on ur budget and how much money you can spend on an f-body. They are totally different engines. Different materials. Different designs. Different displacements. Different parts. Different family of engines. Totally different. The LT1 is the venerable Chevy 350 c.i. that came out of the 265/283/327 line of engines. The design is fifty years old. The LS1 displaces 346 cubic inches and is the first of a whole series of Chevy engines that were introduced around 1997 in the Covrette. Head gaskets may wear out faster on an LT1 because of the expansion rate difference between iron and alum when they get hot"

 

If you do a search here and on the LT1 form and the LS1 form you will find dozens of threads with very detailed info on the advanages of either motor. The are several situation where an LT1 is a better motor but that all depends on what you want to do with it and what is your budget.

 

Is this misinformation from Wikipedia by chance? They're calling the LT1 a 50 year old design. That's in reference to the old LT-1 from 1970-72, used in the Vette and Z/28.
The "new" LT1 (notice no dash) is a totally different engine from the old Gen 1 engines (265/283/327 line).

 

I quoted that from another forum website.

 

i think the motor is one of the least important changes. the ignition system is the big thing that makes me think the ls a better setup. looks are the big plus with the lt for me.

 

Agreed. I prefer the older 4th gens too. If only We could get the older body with the newer engine lol
