i agree with matt on that.

 

Yeah ill have to bow down and agree also.... My 6cyl is great though, 198000 miles on it and it runs like a champ, probably cuz when i bought it i updated it a little, flushed the coolant system, new brake lines, master cylinder, rotors, pads, calipers, fan, radiator, belt, alternator, underdrive pulleys, fuel filter, diff fluid change, , flushed tranny (with no problems after). I think youll love having a camaro man, even though its a sixer, i get looks and compliments constantly. GOOD LUcK!!!

 

i also agree on 3.8 not 3.4, mine has 136k miles, and it still is running strong, only problem i have is emissions.. and thats cuz of 2 holes in gas tank guy before me put in when he mounted amplifier....


when i got this car with 131k miles on it, it had....(this is gonna be very sad)

the ORIGINAL air filter AND gas filter.
it still has(havent gotten around to changing, and frankly, they arent bad) the ORIGINAL spark plugs, coils and coil pack.

i lied.. i do have a oil pan seal and rear main seal leak, but not bad enough to change(yet) when i change oil, it still has 95% of the oil i put in.
my windows do go up kinda slow, but thats just regulators.

when i got the car, it hadnt been washed in, i'd say, 3 years, my rims were black(look at what color they aare now)

my car was driven in winters(he did have studded tires)

all in all, i love my car, has very very little rust on underside(shocking, i know). on driver's side door sill, it has a quarter size spot of paint missing, but no rust. It's clutch is rock solid and never been worked on. my tranny dont slip or skip. it was dyno'ed and put out 203 horse(with added cone filter) and 219trq(i beleave) and as for gas milage, i get bout 16 around town, and 20 on highway, but i need to change CAT, plugs and all that and see if it has gone up..

i've had people offer me 5grand for my car(people from school) and, i beleave i will sell it in fall(idk yet though, want V8)

and better yet, i've beet my neighbors 98 4.6 mustang numerous times, lol.

by the way, sick looking stang, best one i've ever seen.

 

I'd concur on most the above. This is a helpful site, and the V6Firebird.com is full of good stickies, but many members and mods can be rude and even belligerent on rare occassions...

3800 II cars with a stick are very underappreciated sportscars, and remind me of 6 cyl British cars, esp with a good catabck and intake for the sound, and the modest power they can add; a modern car that actually responds to mods when carefully integrated. When the tires, chassis and suspension is beefed up and tuned, I feel there is no better (or funner) handling and steering car in the world....

Windows in doors are delicate but the motors are cheap and easy to install. Parts are everywhere. Torque is big, and instant, helps with low redline. Seats are good, legroom great, and these Fbodies look goood with modern styling peices that usually make most cars look tacky and/or rice, like halos, metal grills, and bright pipes. They are a steal, IMHO...

 

speaking of mods(for apperance) have you seen "JP"s -body kit- for camaro? it isnt really a body kit, but it's side skirts, a piece to go below both bumpers(not a front spoiler either), go to andysautosports and check it out, if ima keep mine instead of getting V8 i want that kit and a cowl induction hood, then i just gotta find a good and mediocre priced painter in this area >.>

 

i just want to say hi to bill......

 

V6Firebird.com is no more...

 

Sorry, meant http://forum.camarov6.com/index.php

 

I wassort of in you situation too. For months I didnt kno if i wanted to get a camaro or a mustang....either would have to be v6. I still havnt got either but i now know that I definatly want the camaro.Some of my friends have mustangs and one or 2 have camaros. So i drove one of each (both in good shape). They are both really nice but i just like the feel of the camaro better. If your worried about the sound (which it isnt bad) all you have to do is install a magnaflow. Not quite like a v8 but it still sounds really nice. Ive definatly made my decision. I suggest you drive one.

 

Jthorn, since when did youput a stroker in your car and how is it becoming less streetable? I though it was a bolt on 5.0 that you were thinking of doing a cam swap on.?
