Hi all,

Just bought a used 1997 white Camaro Z28-SS! The car has 65,000 miles, the car seems to have plenty of power, it's alot faster than i ever thought it would be for a stock car.

I'm guessing the car is stock, it does have a K&N cold air, i have owned two Ford Lightnings, and have a S10 with a 385hp V-8, the Z28 seems just about as fast as the Lightning, which seems strang for a 295 hp engine, i'm guessing it's 295hp, or 285hp?

I dont know much about the Z28, so i'm sure this site will help me!

i think the factory rated them at 285 hp and 340ftlbstq, and we all know there under rated. i know at about 3,000 rpms's the LT1's are putting out 300FTLBS of tq if its a stock car.

 

I just noticed 4 nice sized drops of motor oil on the garage floor spread out in about a foot area! Bought the car from a Autoway dealer yesterday, so i will take it back today and see what they plan on doing about it.

I dont know how the dealer would miss this!

Just got back from the dealer, they said would take care of the leak!

Could be somthing simple or a rear seal who knows?

Chas

 

good thing you just got it, they have to fix it for free

 

I bought the car as is, but they sure let this one slip by!

Dont think they could miss such a bad oil leak before selling it, its a Autoway dealer.

I've got a 97 also. Love it. I put LT4 cam & lifters, MAF 58mm TB and have dynoed 325 RWHP.
Take a look at my member profile to check it mine out.
By the way how much did you pay??

 

I also plan on doing mods. I paid $11,200 , it has the body kit, glass T- tops, white leather seats, and i'm guessing after market rims. The rims are 18" with new Toyo 18-40-245's tires.

The car was well taken care of by the looks of the paint and weather stripping, also the insides look like new!

Took the car to my performance guy, the front and rear main seals are leaking! So back to the dealer.
