How to know at a glance the fourth gen Camaro Base Coupe Z28 and SS models

[@FailureToFire]

I prefer the 93-97 Camaro styling over the 98-02 and prefer the 98-02 Firebird TA styling over the 93-97.

[@CamaroTime]

I am with you. I just do not like the bulging headlights....Thank you so much for watching

[@chemicalspore]

Now your talking my era

[@CamaroTime]

LOL...Yes sir

[@0990ftn]

Fun fact 4th gen Camaro was designed by Ken Okuyama, same guy who later designed Ferrari Enzo

[@CamaroTime]

WOW!! Thanks for watching

[@rickmarks7685]

No way ? Wow and I thought I knew pretty much everything about these 4th gens that’s so damn cool no wonder I love my 4th gen camaro ss so much love the look of it

[@crazypolishguy27]

I'm a proud owner of a 97 SS Camaro. It's red with t-tops, and has a 6-speed manual transmission.

[@CamaroTime]

Sweet!! Very fun and under rated car. thanks for watching

[@chemicalspore]

I am on my 3rd 4th gen and about to make it be my quickest. Keep uploading man, Your videos are getting better. Also, I love the hood on the 96 and 97 SS better than the one on my car. The 2001 and 2002 SS's also received the ls6 block.

[@CamaroTime]

Cool. Going to be a really fun project. Keep'er going. Yeah, I know. But I just can not put every single fact in or people will not want to watch. Hard to keep them as is..LOL Thanks for watching

[@chemicalspore]

@@CamaroTime that makes sense. Keep it simple. Love the video

[@camaro69green31]

Awesome video! Great info and well presented, I absolutely love my 94 Z28 T-top car and will never get rid of it. 27 years old, 49,000 miles and counting very slowly.

[@CamaroTime]

Right on!! Congrats on being part of the F body family....Super fun cars!!! Thanks for watching

[@steinravnik8692]

Great video, appreciate the breakdown of all the changes through the years.

[@CamaroTime]

It is not all of them. But covers the big ones. Thanks for watching

[@camaromodschannel]

Another great video! Love the series you are putting together! Awesome,

[@CamaroTime]

Thank you very much. As far as I know, no one else has done all the generations. Thank you for watching

[@phoenixblack1220]

The reason certain colors were not offered on the SS was because GM could not get those colors to pass validation with SLP. By 98, all SS’s were built in house and shipped to SLP for the hood and spoiler and any second sticker content that was ordered. Monterey Marion Metallic for whatever reason would not pass validation, but somehow Sunset Orange Metallic did. Go figure. I got this information directly from Scott Settlemire, in case you wanted to fact check.

[@CamaroTime]

Excellent info. Thank you so very much. Thanks for watching

[@b5beast611]

Great video! I remember wanting the 97 SS...BADLY

[@CamaroTime]

That is the feeling that most that do get rid of them feel later on in life...LOL...Hope I never have that feeling. Thank you as always for watching

[@saneauto]

1993 Was also the first year of the 4T60E and the last year of the 700R4. 1993 was The only year they were both produced and used during the same year. These were the one and only year of the 3rd generation 700R4's

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Another great video! Very informative! Sorry i missed the Premier!

[@CamaroTime]

No need to be sorry bud. People have lives. I completely understand that. Thank you for watching

[@romesyoutubechannel5356]

The fourth gen Camaro is definitely my favorite of all time. I had a 95 Z28 and wish I never sold that car. The only reason why I sold it was I was tired of replacing my window motors every couple of months. My car came with a very weird stereo configuration. It came with a Bose stereo but only have 3 speakers. 1 6.5 in each front doors and a sub in the back storage area on the driver side. And yes that was a Factory option.

[@CamaroTime]

I know right. The glass is sooooo big and heavy those little motors are constantly straining. It's not odd per say. My 93 has the same setup. But midway through 95 is when they started adding more. Thanks so much for watching

[@Lysergic_]

@@CamaroTime do you think are there high quality motors out there that I could buy that could withstand the weight of the windows?

[@CamaroTime]

@@Lysergic_ If there are, I have not found them. I am on my first set of replacements. I got them from NAPA. So far they are holding up really fine.

[@Lysergic_]

@@CamaroTime thanks for responding! Kinda sucks that there arent any beefy motors, but if I find any that pack some strength then ill tell ya

[@Lysergic_]

@@CamaroTime actually I winder if itd be possible to make the space and jerryrig two motors together for the window

[@TLricks]

Love this video 👍

[@CamaroTime]

So glad you liked it bud......Thank you very much for watching

[@scottpearsontoolsmore185]

Great video thanks brother. Nice looking rides. I still like the older ones and I believe you know what year. Just can't get used to the new body style. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

[@CamaroTime]

Yeah. They are not for everyone. Thanks for watching

[@TLricks]

I can't wait to see this video 👍

[@panasonicchrome7915]

Have all v6 3.4 manuel transmission 1993 ? I have one question to what tire was the original size on the Z28 same wheels you have? It is 245/50 16 "? I have same wheels like you but mine have wrong tires on now it is 225/60 16"

[@CamaroTime]

Hello there....They actually came out with 2 different sizes depending on what half of the year it was manufactures. a 235/55/16 and a 245/50/16...Thanks for watching

[@fastfordman1965]

Were the 1997 Camaro RS upgrades over the base model by GM or SLP?

[@CamaroTime]

If I am not mistaken GM.....The SLP stuff come on the SS cars. Thanks for watching

[@johngoodroe9297]

I always use to look for the single or dual exhaust lol

[@CamaroTime]

LOL...Yep

[@ljofla]

These ss's and z28s look exactly alike that u can't tell the difference

[@CamaroTime]

Pretty much....Only that the SS has the hood scoop and rear spoiler.......Stripes can be on the SS or not....But not the Z28. Thanks for watching

[@panasonicchrome7915]

Good Video 👍 I have a V6 3.4 but i have the z 28 wheels and black mirrors not painted its the orignal like z 28 but i wonder if in back in the day you can order this whit v6 whit z28 style? I now the v6 have wheelcaps and not black mirrors? And some cars have not side bars to?

[@CamaroTime]

Depending on the option package you got the Z28 type wheels. Also depending on package you had painted or non painted mirrors. Once you went up to the RS package you got everything. But also previous owner could have added wheels. Thanks for watching

[@panasonicchrome7915]

Thanks for responding 👍 You welcome 🙂😎

[@FastLanePros]

Loving the videos! I want a 35th anniversary. My buddy wants to sell me his for $4k but it's beat up a lil and would take some money to get it back right. I'm on the fence about it. We love our 94 but we're going to be doing the 24x conversion which deletes the opti spark.

[@CamaroTime]

That is about the going price. Just depends on how bad you want it. It will never be worth anything in our lifetime but a couple more and people will def be looking for it. And they did not produce that many. I have never had an issue with my optispark. but I do like how the conversions look. Thanks for watching

[@OuzoLouGarage]

Man i missed the premier 1997 SS looked great . Nicely done Pete

[@LDBT1969]

Love your channel and I have a question for you Ik u have longtube headers and I was wondering if you think it’s possible to set up longtube headers with a complete budget of $1000 this would include name brand headers professional install and a tune

[@CamaroTime]

Hey there. No sir. I do not have long tube headers. I have factory manifolds on the 1993 Z28 and shorties on the 2012 2SS . Depending on what year you are doing, it can be done. Thanks for watching

[@zacharygaubert9750]

My apologies I coulda swear u had long tubes,but thanks for replying!

[@adriangarciaruiz53]

I have this issue with my LT1 Trans Am, my car will shut off after driving it for a good 15-20 minutes, I changed the distributor 2000 miles ago. And I’ll try start It up and it would ether crank or it’ll start up and shut off again, some people have said it could probably be the ICM

[@CamaroTime]

Try cranking it and hold it at about half throttle. If it keeps running it is the idle air controller

[@adriangarciaruiz53]

Camaro Time yeah I tried doing that too but when I give it gas, it’ll shut off too. It’ll run and start good when it’s cold but once it’s warmed and I drove it for 15-20 minutes, then it’ll start acting up

[@CamaroTime]

@@adriangarciaruiz53 I am sorry you are having issues. There are sooooo many things it could be and without having it here , it is almost impossible to diagnose. It could be the coil, the ignition module, the plug wires themselves, a bad EGR and so on. Have you replaced the coil or the ICM?

[@beetlejerk]

Is there anything one can do to upgrade the integrity of the first GEN opti spark and does the newer opti spark on the all the newer beter can they be used on the 1993 Lt1 ?

[@CamaroTime]

Yes. but they are not cheap. You can put the newer vented opti park in which gets rid of moisture build up. Or even get rid of it all together and go with a coil over design like on the LS motors www.torqhead.com/index.html

Great video I love the 4th gen I had 4 a 1995, 1996,1997, and 2002. Camaro time have you ever heard of a Z28/SS camaro? I was told there is a base model Z28, Z28/SS then a SS

[@CamaroTime]

I am sorry bud. There is no such thing. Z28 and SS are performance packages. You can not combine performance packages. You can however have a performance and an appearance package. Like an RS/Z28 or an RS/SS....Thank you so much for watching

[@pnelly424]

Ok when I got my 2002 Z28 and got my insurance card it is listed as a Z28/SS when ever I buy parts they ask me do I have a Z28 z28/ss or a SS why is that? Even when I try to look up parts those 3 bases are in the computer in the parts store I’m confused lol
