Are there any apperance differances between the 1998 Z28 and the 2002 Z28? Interior? I know the 2002 has more power, but how much, and how did it get it? Thanks, Ryan

 

different rims (i like the 98's more) and the 02 got the ls6 intake and a smaller truck cam

 

Those were the biggest changes.

I know 99+ have a bigger gas tank and in 00 steering wheel radio controls became a option.

 

99 Got an oil life moniter as well as the 16.8 composit gas tank and the child safety seat anchors behind the back seats.

 

Which is a bummer as I could have bungee-corded down stuff to those anchors - like a cooler, or similar sized object.


That, and the missing steering wheel controls - I shoulda bought an '00.

Actually, I have heard that the '00's got the best cam of all the years, although they eliminated the header style manifolds that the '98 's & '99's got.

'01's & '02's seem to be the piston slap cars - '98's lose oil pumps on occasion, but get a functioning temp gaugeas well as larger injectors.

'02's have the 35th Ann badging on the instrument panel.

If I remember correcty, '98 thur '00 HP for Z28/T/A was 305 - 320 on the SS & WS.6.

'01 & '02 were rated 310 "base" & 325 SS/Ram Air, with an option for 345 HP on the SS - probably the 'Hawk as well.

'01 & '02 got the LS6 intake and the truck cam, as well as no EGR.

Ah - decisions, decisions.



Enjoy !

Hey there, You ask alot of questions both in here and in exhaust sound clips forum. I LOVE IT - I have learned so much from your questions. Keep being inquisitive and i'll keep following your questions

 

98s have bigger injectors.

 

Correct me if i'm wrong but i think the 01-02's have the same or bigger injectors as the 98's. The 99-00's are the smallest.

 

nobody mentioned body colored mirrors in 00-02 as opposed to black 98-99 units.

 

yes...the mirrors were a great improvement to the looks of the car

 

Hmm... I actually prefer the black mirrors... Especially with the black tops... Looks very nice.

 

I never noticed the mirrors weren't body color... but then again my car is black so i suppose they are body color

 

In reality, the LS1 makes at least 330 HP.

 

i think that the 99's had a bigger cam and when the gave the ls6 intake they droped to a smaller cam. thats just what i think. correct me if im wrong. AND the black mirrors are bad A$$

 

I've heard of 01-02 cars dynoing as much as 320 RWHP. I believe most of the 98-99 cars were between 290 and 300.
