Just went and looked at a dealership out in the sticks. They had a brand new 2002 RS without the ground effects. Sicker said 24k$ but since it hadn't sold they brought it down to 17700$ It is loaded no t tops. 8 spkr stereo automatic 3.42 limited slip black on black with 2 gray racing stripes. Do you think it is worth the money?? I know it is only a v6 but I already have 2 built camaros. How reliable is the 3800 and how is it power wise.

 

third gens never came with 3800s so few of us know anything about them... if it had a 2.8, 3.1, or 3.4...we could help ya out a little more.

 

had a 3800 in a 99 regal ls had 83k on it when we turned it in on lease only thing was had to chnage 100k spark plugs at 80k no biggie

 

they are good for power (take a good amount of 305's)

i'd go for it

 

that car is good for mid/low 15's in the quarter... since its brand new, you shouldnt have to worry about reliability, but if you do, you've got the warrantee!
