    I own a 2001 Camaro SS LS1 6spd it's in red with black interior, car has 117,000 kilometres on it and runs and drives as good as the day it was built. People that knock these cars calling them the poor mans Vette need to go drive one or at least go for a ride in one, these things are straight line missiles for there era and very reliable. Since I've had mine I put on a set of 4 tires, replaced the clutch (previous owner killed it) and put a Flowmaster cat back system on it absolutely everything else is the way she came off the assembly line! I LOVE MY CAMARO ❤️

    Yesterday I bought a showroom quality 17000 original mile 02' Z28. So I've been watching utube videos tonight about 02' Camaros. Guy I known for 25years bought it new to add to his Camaro collection and decided he had to thin his herd a bit and offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. Red 6 speed car. He put stainless longtubes with Borla system in it along with an intercooled procharger. It was stored in a climate controled car museum of a garage its whole life. I like the handling, exterior look and interior layout of my 91' 1LE Z28 better but this 02 is a beast and it has a cupholder!

    Thanks for uploading! Made my day. When I was in high school (2002) I bought a used 2000 v6 with auto. 15 years later I still have it and love it. Sure it's only a 6, but in HS, I worked my ass off and that was what I could afford with insurance. There's something emotional about the car. At least to me. I love it and plan on keeping it forever. Now that I saved a little, I'd like to eventually do a ls2/3 swap with t56, but its been a solid, reliable, great looking car. Chevy nailed it on this on imho.

    Good review, you hit most of the topics on point. I have owned 3 of them, a 98, 97 and 95. The LS1 was a far superior motor to the LT1. My 98 was an auto and went 13.7 on streets bone stock. After a converter, catback, Hypertech tuner and a CAI, it went 12.91 on drag radials. This car you reviewed sounds like it has the 2.73 gear, which is weak as all hell. Mine had the factory 3.42 and it made all the difference. Its good to see people take care of them though, good job!

    Don't forget about the valve springs. If you go past 6K, its time to pray!! Yes, the rear-end (10 bolt) is weak. I have a girdle w/ stud kit on my mine, but it only strengthens the rear-end about 25%, but its nice to not have to worry about my pinion seal every time I want to have some fun. The chassis is weak too, for the power and torque delivery of the LS1, Sub-frames are a must if you want to keep all the exterior panels lined up.

    The older gen 93-97 with the LT1 were also better than the similar period Mustangs but the LS1 is amazing! But I would still say that the LT1 is underrated, is has aluminum headers and reverse cooling and the motor has lots of potential. The only bad thing with them is the water-pump and optispark combination. I miss my Z28 soooo much when I see videos like this! I need to get a 4gen f-body with a LS1 :D

    If by better you mean more power stock and slightly faster sure. It looks like a geo storm on steroids and the interior looks like ass compared to 90s mustangs and the rear is made of glass. It has shit quality everywhere the only thing good about them is the engine and trans lol. Fee mods on each the mustangs can more than hold their own especially a 4v. My 97 cobra used to spank similarly modded lt1 6 speed cars but I have the driver mod too. The mustang was also cheaper back then even the cobra barely costed more my 97 cobra new was like 27k camaros were in the low to mid 20s at that time. The lt1 isn't as much in front as gm guys wanna beleive. It's little quicker stock but when both have minor mods the mustangs hold their own with less displacement and less cost (when new) *edit* I'm talking gt against the lt1 the 4v cobra starting in 96 could take lt1 and the 94-95 302 cobra could hang right beside an lt1 stock for stock all day the 5.0 cobra was underrated.

It's pretty mean, makes 700hp N/A. But the new LT family has a lot of nice stuff like variable cam phasing, oil squirters for the pistons, and direct injection. Give it time, this just feels like when the honda K series engine came out and everyone was saying they were trash and weak and that the B series engines are where it's at, but now you can see raced out N/A build K series engines pushing over 400hp.

There was an auto WS6 LS1 T/A there same day that couldn't even break out of the 14's with intake and exhaust mods. The LS1 is indeed a great engine no doubt, but by the time you pour another 2 or 3 grand in an F body to replace the cheap shit 7.5" S10 rear end they put in those you can have a 2V running 12's. I still see 2V's running low 13's all night long at the track.
