Hey guys, I am probably not buying one for awhile, but I was hoping you could help me out. I love the body style and front fascia of the 1993-1997 camaro as opposed to the 98-2002s. I know that the 3.8 v6s were in the later 95s and up. But I was wondering if the 3.4 was as bad as everyone thinks. I read the sticky and thought maybe the 3.4 isn't all that bad, but I am not as mechanically inclined as most in the forums. If I ended up with the 3.4, is it comparable in any way with the 3.8, or should I just look for the newer one and forget about it? Thanks

 

Its not comparable. The 3.4 is a dog. I had one and traded it for a 3.8. Get a 5speed while youre at it.

 

Ok I thought so. Just wishful thinking. Thanks for the post man

 

I have a 98 auto and my roommate has a 98 5speed. both are 100% stock. The 5speed because it has 3.23s pulls just a tad harder. I used to have a 3.4 5speed camaro and my roommate still had her 5speed 3.8 and she would whip my *** all day long in that thing.

 

the 3.8 also has a bigger aftermarket being used in the Monte Carlo SS and Impala SS.

 

So the 3.8 in the 98-02 Camaros is the same one as the Monte Carlos of late?

 

same blocks and thats about it, and if you can get one with the Y87(3.42's) and (G80

just think of it this way. The 3.4 is the 305 of the 80s. Its a boat anchor
