You know, the 3.8 is plenty for a 19 yr old -- a V8 is just likely to get you in trouble at your age -- improve what you already own -- you can get a LOT more enjoyment out of it. Learn to save some money and invest it for your future...

 

you keep trying to argue a moot point. no one here is anti v8 and no one is saying screw ls1s. the op has stated he is not and was not interested in putting a v8 in his base camaro. accept it and move on.

 

I guess you can say that's true. But im around his age. im 21. Im buying everything I want while I still live at home with no bills. because the way i see it i wont be able to do this forever. so im having fun with all the paychecks i can keep right now. SPEND NOW INVEST LATER!!

lol

 

oh I should of told you before. im getting bored of my camaro and its the v8. I also own a 2006 mustang gt and seem to like them better. I might even sell mine for a 99-04 GT. i like to change things up. but i also change my mind alot. My camaro had to be for sale atleast 6times in the past 8months. I never know what i want.

 

yep lol, if your gona crash something make it a gt. to stay on topic, you could have 273 or 323s check your production codes for gu2(273) or gu5(323). production codes are a list of three digit codes that are made up of letters and or numbers. the list is in the glove box, in the center console or on the door jam.

 

duude story of my life, i am also 19, i used to have a 79 camaro with a 350, but it was falling apart so i sold it and bought my 01 v6 maro. its fast, u know know not v8 fast, i feel like u do right now, but its the gas thats keeping me from going back. i would say put somee mods into the car u have, but thats just me

 

Your just going to feel the same way when you get the V8 after awhile. I feel that my V8 is slow but yet I know when I go head to head with someone I can win. Its all mental.

 

Sounds like it's time for some upgrades.

 

Sounds like to me cheeks might be nominated to do a write up for the swap... this way a ton of questions can be answered (how to swap? which to swap? is this an easy swap? what parts needed? etc...) aaaannnndddd we can end the discussion.
Personaly, if there were a write up, i would be delighted to stickey it and give full credit to the author.

 

dude you could not of said that better. I thought my 98 Z was so fast at first now it just feels slow after i had it for awhile
