I am a huge F-body fan, so you know my vote is to go for the Camaro. There are tons of aftermarket parts out there for camaro's as well. Oh, and the LT1 is a great motor, just watch the temperature, but agiain, w/ the fan switches, and the 160 t-stat, you should be ok. F-bodys do run hotter than normal though. My trans am ran at about an average of 210 degrees constantly.
