I love the LT1 engine over the LS1 engine for the sound, and I owned 2 of them. I dyno'd 400 HP NA.

i get that but something about that high pitch 5.7 screaming in that aluminum block just sounds amazing but i feel that those LT1 had deep small block sound
I had one from 2015-2018 and it was the absolute best four years of my life!!! The T tops were awesome and I had the best road trips around the state in this car. I miss it the most out of all the cars I have owned! :D

Nice! Gotta love the t tops Lol I plan on keeping this car for a very long time
I have an 02 model like this with the RS kit on it. I absolutely love it and still get compliments as well as sell offers lol.
Great to see a 4th gen camaro channel. New sub here. I owned a 2nd gen '80 Z28. 3rd gens are my favorite, but I do love the catfish. I can't wait to see what you do with her.

Ayeeee thank you! I really appreciate your support and I would love to have a 2nd gen they are one of my all time favorites!
I agree with Joe S! You got a eye for classic cars and if you build this right and invest the time and money big things will follow! Look you almost at 1,000 view right now but I can see you getting 100,000 views in the near future!
Man, thats one beautiful car! My brother has a silver one just like it. He put a set of gapless rings in his last spring and the chicks really dig him! Those gapless rings would be so sweet on your car. Cant wait to see your new rims on there.

It is good to see you back with another video! When I first saw the white camaro pull up my mind was confused as I watched all your updates on your other camaro. This is a clean 1998 I will for sure be following all updates as this car has a lotttttt of potential! I think with new rims, window tint and a fresh paint job your youtube channel will become my favorite on KZread! 😁

I remember when 4th gens were dirt cheap. I bought a flawless red 1995 LT1 TA in 2006 for $6000. SLP ram air hood and functional intake. I had to sell it in 2009 when I got sick and regret it to this day.

Beautiful car! I've owned fourth gen f-bodies for 23 years and absolutely love them. You need to get the security light issue fixed ASAP. It's a VATS issue, and eventually the car won't start. The easiest way is to get the ignition cylinder lock replaced.

It looks somewhat like a slow pokey Chrysler Sebring especially in white. I have a white 98 Z28 convertible and chose it over a red one because I know the cops don't give my car a second look. I have always liked red cars but I can't say as much for liking to get pulled over. Good choice.

I'm literally going to see one next Saturday. It's a 98 Z28 silver grey. One owner, garage kept. She wants 5k. Seems good. It's also a t-top. Questions: how easy is it to rewire? If I wanted to put in a sound system and maybe a touch screen navigation setup? Should I even bother with a car that old? And is the exhaust crazy loud?

@@StevenEvens7125 If money wasn’t a issue I would still get the NITTO brand tires they are a great choice and for rims I would go with a Weld brand rim they look really good on 4th gens they are just a little more expensive from what I got, I bought my rims of fitment industries they have a super great variety of different styles and everything I’d take a look there first but Weld wheels are like the go to for these cars
