Thumbs up 2002 Camaro Among best for 3 year Dependability

I noticed in my paper this morning that the 2002 Camaro ranked among the best sporty cars from 2002 for long term dependability. You can run a report from J.D. Power and Associates website here:

http://www.jdpower.com/cc/auto/ratin...ndJdAwards.jsp

The other top two cars were the Mazda Miata and Toyota MR2

I guess that will help the resale vale of the 2002's!!

Moderators: Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post, but I figured 2002 LS1, you can move it somewhere else

Generally speaking, not much difference in the LS1s. Nothing worth writing home about. 2002's supposedly got the updated oil pump and an LS6 intake manifold.

Yup they sure got 'em, 2001 and 2002 LS1 F-cars did

But I agree, nothing worth having an argument about, unless everyone decides to keep thiers 110% stock forever

*edit* This makes no sense to me at all



I think JDPower is about as retarded as you can get. Probably just throw random ratings at random cars (I'm not saying that they rated these cars too good or too bad, I'm saying there's no difference in reality between an 01 and an 02 f-car in those aspects)
