Um, how do 4th Gens suck up more gas, an LS1 can get 30mpg.

ok scratch that part but the other things i mentioned were right on the money plus i will add this there arent to many 3rd gens faster than LS1s sure the new Camaros/Firbirds are bad *** but do like Joe or Birmass or even Mark after he gets his heads and make a third gen faster than a 35,000 dollar car

Not to mention a -SEVERE- PITA to work on. They make third gen cars look like Lego's. Just ask anyone who owns one that has done thier own mods, or someone who has worked on them in the past.

BTW correct on all acounts except for the gas thing.

I'd hold off on an LS-1. I have a co-worker who has a 2001 Camaro SS and he has to have his piston rings replaced (under warranty, there's a tech service bulletin for high oil consumption). But that's not all, he's had a lot of problems with the car, not just the motor. His power steering pump has failed too.

EDIT: Hey look I made 50 posts and am now a regular member!.

I'm not sure what i want to buy as of yet..i just want to sell it, and drive my old car and save up some money..i def. won't be driving it anymore..im going to cancel the insurance on it today.., i don't think i would part it out though..unless you offered 1200 for the whole thing ..if someone buys it as a rolling chassis then I have a motor to sell..
