A guy here in Culpeper has a gold one. I don't know if it's a '98 or a '99. His screen name is Bo on the F-body Hideout.

Probably one of the '98s unless you saw it around 10 years ago. While I was in California, I saw a gold one on a driveway myself. I remember taking a pic of it while riding in the car by it, but I think a telephone pole jumped out in front while taking the photo.

Well, made a pretty major update (in my opinion) to the RPO code section. Took me a couple of hours from having to look through my disorganized mess of B4C pictures. It's about paint code 01U and RPO code AAT for two-tone paint. This mostly concerns '93 pace car replicas and B4C police cars. The 14 2000 B4Cs ordered with 01U but without the two-tone AAT really interest me. Anybody know what they looked like?

Auto Trans Am / Formula. Not sure exactly what years/models had this option but it's only on Pontiacs. I believe it simply increased the trans pressure and uses slightly different shift points. Nothing that can't be easily fixed with a tune if that's what you want.

Here's some good info if your interested in it. It's been so long that I've read about the "performance trans" button since I haven't owned a automatic in 3-4 years.

Very cool. I have a lot of pics of 33 from when it was for sale at some point. Great looking ZL1.

Which Tom Henry is he looking at getting? The one that is the feature car on the Tom Henry section of my site? The seller has been wanting to sell it for awhile. It's amazing looking.

I'm not ready to do a ZL1 section yet--I'm missing too many cars. I only have pics of about 40 of the 69 (estimate only).

Re: Brangeta's topic about 4th gen Camaro history

I don't know if anybody is interested, but I created a facebook group called "4th Generation Camaro History (Firebirds as well)" where I've decided I'll post unique things I find when I'm researching things for my site. A lot of the stuff I post will be things I don't feel like devoting a topic to on here. You can post stuff too if you want.

If this link doesn't work, try searching the name in quotes.
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=...619121503&ap=1

I'm not giving up on my site at all; this is just an easier and more frequent way to see neat things I find. If you want to join the group I think you have to click a button somewhere on the page. I'm not really used to facebook's group feature...

Re: Brangeta's topic about 4th gen Camaro history

Very small update. As I was going through old CDs I found this video I had downloaded from GM's media archive back in 2003. It's relevant to Camaro history in my opinion.

Thanks for the compliment. I saw your email the other day and replied to it. I'm not sure if you saw it or not.

Re: Brangeta's topic about 4th gen Camaro history

I've made a new page called a "buyer's guide" for my website.
https://sites.google.com/site/brange...o/buyers-guide

It's a page that speaks in plain english without a bunch of technical jargon about the advantages and disadvantages of each 4th gen year, along with a list of very common problems. If you see an error, please let me know. As some of you know, I'm more educated about the LT1 cars, and not the LS1 cars, so LS1 experts, give those areas a thorough read through.

I have 0 interest in making this page extremely detailed, so please keep that in mind. Unless it's something that makes a certain year very desirable or a flaw that affects many different years, I don't want to put it on there.

People who are part of my facebook group got a preview of this page and helped me develop it. You can join the group by going here (if this link works): http://www.facebook.com/#!/home.php?...08954619121503 If the link doesn't work, search "4th Generation Camaro History" on facebook and it should come up.
