91-92 was craby's style preference, not that they're any lighter than previous year terd gen's. I believe his weight reference was comparing them to a 4th gen. I had a 91 and liked it though. It was a 305 RS, so it wasn't a very quick car. Dropping in a bigger engine is almost as easy as older Camaros, not so easy with the 4th gen.

1981-82 were the lightest since the '67-69 cars.

Gen 1 350s are plentiful, parts are cheap and easily accessible, and make good power for what they are.

The Gen-II LT1 is much like the Gen I in that it's 350 cu. in. (3.48in stroke/4.00 in bore) but the difference begins at the heads. LT1 is reverse cooled (heads cooled before the block) instead of block then heads. Fuel injected, computer controlled, Loves compression. The LT1 isn't heard about because it only lasted 6 years before the LS series came out.

when it comes to oil just so long as it is SAE approved its good but when it comes to filters i would go with either WIX or microguard/fram they are the best filters out there i know the K&N boasts of being race quality but ive used them for a while and the WIX or microguard/fram filters do a better job

There is more to oil than just being SAE approved. See here.

Because I had one. It's in reference to their performance....or lack thereof. :)
I still liked mine though, but I have another "release" for the itchy right foot.

Personally I don't care for the look of the 2nd gens, but what does it mean if the car is lighter, that it's faster and better on gas? I also don't understand all the motor talk unfortunately, sorry! Wish I did lol working on it.. What years were the LT1 and LS that you're talking about? And in the end what's the best Camaro motor or Camaro to buy then? Put it that way lol..

I like the 3rd gens especially the Irocs, but actually I have to agree, truly not better than the 4th gens, however at this point in time I've come to the conclusion that I may not be able to afford one. But no particular complaints about the Irocs right? Just your preference that you don't like them?
