Or does the 93-97 look very good. I was so head set on doing the LS1 front conversion but the more pics I see of 93-97's the more I love it. I guess I got screwed over on my LS1 front because now I'm sure I want to keep the original. Only thing I dont care for are the headlights. The PIAA's look ok but I think Id be better off with the Hella's. Other ideas Ive had to spruce it up is the freedom spoiler, that middle exaust kit, and mabey a SS hood. Any other ideas?

 

I always thought the front ends on the 93-97s looked sharp, I liked the aggresive molding and the bowtie badge. The cops, however, dont seem to like it as much as me with no front license plate and all. You seem to have most of the appearance mods. thought out already. Have you already installed rims? I comment on so many member cars that I start to forget who has what.

 

I used to have a red 97 Camaro, and loved how it looked, if I had one I would do the SS hood and spoiler, and maybe the 30 Anniversary Stripes.

 

IMO, there's no comparison between the 93-97 and the 98-02. 93-97 is aggressive, sharp, and sporty. The 98-02 lost the sporty and aggresive look. The 98-02 is too much like a Chrysler Seabring.

 

ya know i use to think i was teh only one that thought that.. you have no idea how many sebrings ive mistaken for camaros from the front alone! i have to say though i LOVE the 93-97 front end but i want a 97+ interior and an LS1 would be nice, but i like my lt1 just as well now

 

Yup. Not sure if I'm the one youre reffering to but I have the chrome ZR1's 17x11. I actually want the aggressive 98+ SS spoiler but I dont want to have to do the relay or whatever it is you have to do to make it work. I would also like to drop it but that's out of the question with the Hooker longtubes I have. I have stripes on my green Mustang. Would be pretty cool to get them on my green Camaro also just to have two matching verts. I figure for the mods I want to do to the outside can be done for less than $1000.
The inside is a different story. The inside of my car including the top is just beat. I may just upgrade to the 97 inside. The choice wouldnt be so hard if I had a junk yard near. I would almost have to buy everything new. Overall I think I can convert the inside and have my seats done up for around $1000 also.
All of this is on hold until the engine is complete. I have a bad feeling once this engine is done the tranny is going to crap itself. If that happens it will unfourtunatlly prolong doing the exterior and interior.

 

You could just get a LS1 car and do a 93-37 front end conversion I dont like the 98+ front end eather.

 

lol. I have 4.6 sohc and a LT1. My dream is to get a C5 and drop a LS7 in it, and a 03+ Cobra with a whipple blower. Once I get those two cars in my stable I will be a happy man. For now I need to finsh this LT1 project. I still have a long way to go with my 97GT. It's on the back burner for now but I know with all my heart once I get some time with it Im sure it will be beating N/A LT1 383's and LS1 H/C/I with ease.

 

Amen to that. The LS1 guys think the engine makes up for looking like a Chrysler Sebring... I think not.


I love the 93-97. And I am not ashamed by my LT1 in the least. It'll plant you in the seat every time.

 

It's got a ton of potential.
