It's a sweet car. I know some people who have owned LT1's without many problems.

That looks good! That would be tough to pass up a V8 LT1 if the price is right.

Nice car, I'd do it if I were you. You've had your share of issues with the GP.

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.

My cousin has a 02 camaro SS with the 2 exhaust in the middle and his LT1 is a monster after he installed some mods specially the cam and it sounds real nice.
Overall its a good engine and my cousin never complained to me about it and it has 120,000 miles as of now.

I'd be after a V8 camaro just like that if it wasn't for insurance (I'm only 19) and gas prices...eek. That's a slick looking car man, I'd have to say go for it. I'm looking at firebirds and v6 camaros, as well as GP's as my next car. I need to make a move soon. I'm sure I'll get flamed for looking at v6 camaros and firebirds, but oh well. At least they're RWD
