Just wanna start out by saying im new to the sight, and after reading and lurking for a few weeks im ready to purchase a z 28.
I have the choice from 2 car's in my budget
1998 camaro ss (123,000miles) and a 2000 z28 (125,000miles) both the same price.. question is, is one year better than the other? performance and interior? close in miles but 2 year difference, is that alot of miles for the z28? just curious because i plan on som mild mods. am i gonna make the enging more tired with mods, and all those miles?

thanks again!!

 

if all you are planning is some basic bolt on mods...than either would work fine.

however if you want to do some heads/cam upgrades i think the 00 would be better. little things like perimeter bolt valve covers and a slightly different ECM make the 98s a bit more challenging when finding compatible parts. performance wise they are pretty much the same though.

on the other hand you're ahead of the game with the SS when it comes to exterior styling. things like nicer wheels, a sexier spoiler and possibly a better suspension (depends on options).

basically which do YOU like better?

 

Yeah if you like the way the ss looks, I would get that because you can focus on mods, not appearance. Even you even want to mod it. But if I were looking at them, I would judge by which color, interior ect I liked the best.

 

Id go SS
