Day 3: What Makes F-Bodies So Cool

[@Joshua932-l2c]

4th gen were absolutely the best year some people don't understand proud owner here

[@GnarshredProductions]

I like 3rd gen's better, only because of how far back the engine sits in in the 4th gens in the bay and how the firewall and cowl is right there makes it a bit more of a pain in the ass to work on there isn't a whole lot of room compared to the older ones. Other than that they are good.

[@joeyporter3356]

Joshua Janis only real car ppl know that...not everybody will actually know these were the best Camaros

[@dronexfun8469]

I bought my 95 3.4 l brand new. I was 19 at the time and couldn't afford the insurance on the Z28 and the 3.8 RS wasn't out yet so I bought the 3.4. There is no other car that looks like a 4th gen Camaro. Back in the late 90's there weren't many after market upgrades available, but now I see there are quite a few. I was thinking about upgrading the suspension and brakes so I can rip around country roads. I think the v6's handle better because they are lighter in the front than the v8s. Today it looks brand new but there is a bolt that stripped out on the transmission.

[@Jgthajuiceman35]

I found a love for 4th gens 3 years ago when my buddy got rid of his 93 v6 and got a 99 z28 with the T tops. Now if you really know these cars you'll know that the chameleon green was a rare color and that's what it was. He got into an accident and got the front fenders, front bumper and the hood all fiberglass and got a 2 1/2 inch cowl hood scoop. He's right about how it's just modern enough to throw cool shit into but still old enough to be considered "mullet muscle". I like 98+ ones they did, the 93-97 really needed a facelift

[@cali2468]

@@GnarshredProductions So the limited engine space in the 4th gens is the reason why you like the 3rd gens better? Ok. But the engine that sits in that tight space is wayyy better than that TPI in the 3rd gen.

No 3rd gen or iroc will ever match 4th ls1.. nor will any unmodified fox body. 346 cubic inches of total destruction still rule's IMHO

[@dotzpowerhouse]

I had to put a dislike... this guy has roll-up windows

[@cce3325]

I had both 4th and 5th gen SS cars, a '98 and a '12, just sold the 2012 and kept the '98. The 4th gens are by far the better car to live with. I never did warm up to the 5th gen and actually came to hate it. The 4th gens are the perfect balance between old muscle car and modern sports car.

[@ICE366Studios]

That's basically what happened to me I had a 2002 z28 and thought id like the 2015 2ss more and honestly it isn't a bad car but im selling it and buying another 4th gen

@@ancientapparition1638 What's outside of the car has nothing to do with safety. It's what on the inside. People just can seem to grasp that. If it wasn't the case cars in the 40-80s would be safer. They aren't.

[@chevy362000]

That is right and I love that too. I never undestood why the newer Camaros weren´t made the same. I guess because sheet metal is cheaper, easier and faster to produce. I own a Camaro 1995 and the body is in awesome shape&form.

you CAN swap in an LS, but you dont have to. there is nothin wrong with the LT1, i love the low end torque of the LT1 and the sound. im not racing my car, so i just enjoy the LT1 for what it is, a decent engine.

[@CamaroRick]

Ive got a 600HP LT1 in the shop. They are great engines. The only thing I dont like about them is the tuning software. HP Tuners got me spoiled. If I were to modify an LT1 I would get a 24x setup.

All they need is the 24x swap. And forged 12:1:1 396 lt1 700lift cam. Around 600crank power . Call it a day lol.

[@CamaroRick]

Ive heard great things from the Torquehead setups. Ill try one out someday

[@CamaroRick]

Steve Sabino My LT1 was pumping out 296rwhp and 330tq to the wheels, this was with long tubes, cai, electric water pump and tuning. It ran great, I even beat a few C5's at the drag strip. I just decided to build a forged motor and at the time ported ls3 heads were 1300 new. It was the 350cfm heads that made me look into the swap. I was running nitrous on my lt1 and made 430rwhp and 570rwtq spraying. It was a lot of fun. We had a dyno day with a local car club and my car on spray put down more torque than a buddies bolt on n tuned turbo diesel!

They are awesome cars. My only advice to you is to be careful these cars slide out very easily especially in the rain. Take it to an autox and you will learn a ton on how to handle it in a slide. They are great cars with great performance potential! Oh and one other thing. Dont speed over 6mph in the fast lane. Thats where cops shoot radar 99% of the time. I wish someone told me when I was in HS.

[@calincampbell5637]

Andy Frye opinions are like assholes...yours isn't better than anyone else's. 1st, 5th, and 6th gens are the only camaro that the majority of people even know of. It's an easy shape to be attracted to, pleasing to the eye. But it gets a little dull when you see them everywhere, mainly driven by cheerleaders with rich daddies or secretaries looking for some status, or in the case of the first gens, rich grandpas who spend their retirement money paying shops to lsx swap their base 69's with fake ss badges. The new z28 and zl1 are finally drawing the attention of *car* *enthusiasts* to the new gens, not the masses, who are already in love. The 3rd and 4th gens are the rage for most car enthusiasts due to their price and power, while still being attractive to look at. When an average person sees a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gen, they just see a cool car, not a name. And that's what some of us want.

True

[@glennhynes5185]

I can’t agree more. I have been loving mine since I took possession of it in 1998. Mine was leased to someone who drove it for a year then I bought it. It’s been great to me through all these years. I put 325,000km on it and only went through one clutch, one opti-spark distributor and one water pump. It’s been very good to me and reliable as hell. Mine is black on black leather with T-roofs, a/c (of course) 6 speed stick ( again of course!) and has never been smoked in. I’d love to upgrade to an LS upgrade but with having its history all documented and it being the last V8 iron block I think I’ll just keep it’s vintage and heritage intact. Thanks for your time Rick and your great video. I should be out of this hospital bed next week so I will send you a few pictures. Again, thanks for such an entertaining video. Damn, you sure can drive that thing!

When it comes to cars the only word ik is LS, these were king of the road for so long and kinda still are in they own way, now the v6 versions? I dunno , never drove a 3.4 but every time i see one they sound terrible and misfire uncontrollably, i driven a 3.8 and its beefy for a 6, not raw ignorant power but enough to spin sum tires and have sum fun.

Camaro Rick me too. They actually sound good with the stock cam but way better with a bigger cam. I was leaning towards LT4 hotcam in mine because I wouldn’t have to do as many supporting mods. but as long as I’m going to cam it I mine as well get a bigger one and do it right.

I don't own one(yet). I believe they were the best Camaros aside from the old classics. As you stated, they are the best all-round Camaros to work on and modify and they are super aerodynamic making them perfect dragsters.

Fun fact, with the exception of the convertible cars, all coupes were born t-top cars, and just had the reinforcement side brackets added, that is why you can convert these cars to a t-top in an afternoon.

I bought my 93 new, ordered it 3 months before they went into production, best car ever produced, been road course racing mine since the day I picked it up, have made many mods over the years to make sure it continues to be one of the fastest cars at the track, just built a 650 horse LT1 for this summer, putting the old 540 horse 383 into my street 93 Camaro.

Dude that's bad@ss. I really want to road race, or even autocross my 2000 Ws6. Not sure I'll ever do it, but man I think it would be really fun. Good on you for getting out there and mixing it up in an F-body!

[@user-Dr.]

@@bradleylovej Don't know where you live, but you could type in track day events near me, if you would like to give it a try you could go to one of these events watch how it works, they have these all over the country, we do it with a car club called 3 Balls racing, great group of people. We live in the middle of Michigan, several nice road courses within an hour and a half of us, one thing that worries me is the fact that after November 8th if the democrats maintain control of congress after we vote, they plan to make auto racing, motocross, all recreational motorsports illegal, totally ban the production of auto parts for cars older than 2008 and continue cutting energy production soaring the cost of energy, creating shortages. I've been racing something my whole life, could not imagine not racing, sounds like you've got a really nice car, love the WS6's, if you have any questions hit me back, I don't do a lot on these computer things, not really my bag, but if we don't vote the right way in about a week, your time to do this may be very limited.

[@bradleylovej]

@@user-Dr. Thanks for the advice! I haven't found any cool car clubs like you guys have, but when I bought the car, I did find that we have some SCCA chapters in my neck of the woods. I live in Missouri, and have two options-SCCA in Kansas City, and SCCA in Neosho. They both have autocross, and the one in KC also has road racing every so often. I'm jealous that you've got a couple of different road racing courses. Road courses seem like they would be super fun, and a good fit for these cars-more room to stretch than and AutoX course. That being said, I'll probably AutoX a few times. I like that there's no other cars on the course in AutoX, and it seems like it's probably not as hard on the car as road racing. Even though road racing looks like the most fun, I'm scared to break something. Like you said, I actually have a pretty nice car that is currently all-original. I'm fighting that all-original vs. having fun in it battle. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to have fun in it, the question is just how much. You have an LT1? I've been kind of interested in what, if anything, people are doing to get these cars ready for that kind of action. Not to go out there and dominate, just to race and have fun in a safe way. I know any time you race, you're risking parts breaking, but I was wondering if there were any obvious things people do to take care of the cars before getting on the track, especially LS1's. I think they're pretty sturdy motors, but do you have any tips? Thanks, again

[@ProperSendoff]

Insane finish

[@jessecontreras2042]

Really good video awesome car. I'm looking for an f-body and cannot find one in any good condition the way yours is did you do the interior self or you bought it like that just curious

[@speedrazer2000]

Owned my 2000 Z-28 for 18 Years- 60K Miles. No plans to sell as it runs like a beast... 🚀

[@DoubleRRestorations]

New subscriber here. Although I mainly deal in second gens, My wife and I have a 94 Camaro that we bought years ago with 13k miles. We have around 70k on it now. It has the lt1 in it.

[@markcontreras9334]

Nice Camaro man! I just bought a 95 z28 artic white with a LT1 and T56 with 18,000 on the odometer. I have it at a local shop getting work done on it to make some nice power.. great cars!

[@ramiropanfilo4222]

This is exactly how i want my camaro to look and sound like

[@CamaroRick]

Thanks bro, Borla Catback with electric cutout was one of my favorite mods next to long tube headers!

[@lallyz28]

Really sweet build

[@dougb3740]

I had a 2002 Ws6 TA I ended up modifying it with a ProCharger, Borla exhaust, suspension, Wilwood brakes, CCW wheels, 9’ rearend, etc. On the dyno it was making 606 rwhp & 550 tq. I ended up selling it for a 2015 Camaro Z/28.

[@clbrown1388]

Excellent video , subscribed. I’ve had a 98 Z28 m6 full bolt ons and now have a 97 SS m6 stock engine, most of the chassis and suspension has been gone over with aftermarket improvements

[@CamaroRick]

Thanks man! Love the M6, I want to find another t56 for another project

[@namesake7139]

The last 20 seconds of this video is amazing!!

[@CamaroRick]

These cars would make excelent drift cars if a manufacturer would step up and make angle kits / modified spindles. Thanks for watching

[@namesake7139]

Camaro Rick how long did it take you to run the car like that

[@CamaroRick]

Ive owned it since 2003, Got a lot of practice with going to local autocross events with unintentional skids. One location we had access to a wet skid pad but most practice came from other rwd cars in the snow lol

[@namesake7139]

Camaro Rick lol right on!!!

[@drlv71240]

I got a 96 with same body style with the 3800 6 cylinder just got it painted and a new back window in it same color as yours

[@carlisleevans6018]

Just got my seat covers and floor mats, with z28 stitch on it I'm about to pick up some 285 tires and ordering a new throttle body

[@daviddebuhr8995]

what wheel size and offets are you running/ Nice Camaro.

[@Dreamchasing1974]

Beautiful car, excited to build mine...98 Z28 Convertible... always wanted a Camaro Convertible with a V8 lol that looks like so much fun

[@CamaroRick]

Thanks! Love the convertibles they are a lot of fun.

[@hotrodder5034]

I have a very clean 95 Z28 with about 60k miles. Love it. It has power window s and I had to have the driver's side motor replaced. 😊

[@wyzmaro9774]

I'm saving for a LS3 and Trans right now on my 97 6-speed Z with SS package. Mine is also a coupe. Everyone loves my car. I do have power windows and will be installing a windowtrix relay kit to fix the issue, along with new motors. Nice ride Man. Very clean.

[@CamaroRick]

Great choice of motor. My friend is doing something similar with his Trans-Am. LS3 nice exhaust and its done!

[@maldo72]

Great channel big 4th gen guy here

[@CamaroRick]

Thanks brother!

[@socksonfeet8125]

Manual windows are the best thing ever, I wish they were optional on every single car.

[@CamaroRick]

Lol Light weight and will work forever! All the 1LE early 4th gens had roll up windows

[@vettster89]

I’m doing an LS engine in my 1995 Trans Am. What did you do for the electronics?

[@chemicalspore]

What kind of suspension you got on it? I keep coming back to this video. I love the donuts/drifting

[@CamaroRick]

1le springs, and koni yellows, poly bushings in the front end (in need of grease) strannoparts 35mm/22mm hollow sway bars, Thanks man these kind of videos are a lot of fun

[@chemicalspore]

@@CamaroRick koni yellows? Does the ride get bumpy on regular trips?

[@CamaroRick]

@@chemicalspore It is bumpy. Some has to do with the poly bushings binding up. They are just a single adjustable shock (rebound only), I have them on full stiff also. It rides rough on rough roads but planted on fresh pavement. The front shocks also have a lower spring perch mount position that can drop it by 3/4" I can match it in the rear with the isolator delete / heater hose mod. Im just debating on it because where I live now the roads suck and I dont want to smack my long tube headers.

[@UvidCo]

They still look better than the new SS especially the 2019s. They are just ugly. Looks good man.

[@jonesfredrick94]

I got an 2001camaro Base

[@atmkm8323]

Great vid...I too have a love for F-bodies; Owned a '94 T-top Z28, a '94 Convertible Z28 & a '97 30th Anniversary. Also owned a '97 T-top Firebird & a '98 Hardtop Firebird...All were great cars BUT... My 1st love is the Chevy Corvette! Bought my first one at age 21...a Convertible C4 Vette. Currently whipping around in a C6 Coupe now...Too much fun!

[@CamaroRick]

I work on a lot of Vettes for my job, I realy have a passion for them as well. All years included. Ive got an 06 Z in the shop getting some nice modifications. Ill post a video on it in the next few weeks

[@atmkm8323]

Can't wait to see what mods you are going thru with...Just in time for the summer.

[@HauntedDxll]

Hi! Can I ask what percentage the tent is! 🖤🖤
