Guy I known for 25years bought it new to add to his Camaro collection and decided he had to thin his herd a bit and offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. Red 6 speed car. He put stainless longtubes with Borla system in it along with an intercooled procharger. It was stored in a climate controled car museum of a garage its whole life. I like the handling, exterior look and interior layout of my 91' 1LE Z28 better but this 02 is a beast and it has a cupholder!

The chassis is weak too, for the power and torque delivery of the LS1, Sub-frames are a must if you want to keep all the exterior panels lined up.

If by better you mean more power stock and slightly faster sure. It looks like a geo storm on steroids and the interior looks like ass compared to 90s mustangs and the rear is made of glass. It has shit quality everywhere the only thing good about them is the engine and trans lol. Fee mods on each the mustangs can more than hold their own especially a 4v. My 97 cobra used to spank similarly modded lt1 6 speed cars but I have the driver mod too. The mustang was also cheaper back then even the cobra barely costed more my 97 cobra new was like 27k camaros were in the low to mid 20s at that time. The lt1 isn't as much in front as gm guys wanna beleive. It's little quicker stock but when both have minor mods the mustangs hold their own with less displacement and less cost (when new) *edit* I'm talking gt against the lt1 the 4v cobra starting in 96 could take lt1 and the 94-95 302 cobra could hang right beside an lt1 stock for stock all day the 5.0 cobra was underrated.

They have very predictable over steer and are easy to drive (the convertibles and especially auto convertibles understeer ). The live rear axle will jump the rear end what feels like a foot if you hit a big bump on a turn doing 80-100 mph, although unnerving its kinda fun as well. Very fun car that is easy to drive with the throttle and drift etc. I did a lot of 4 wheel power on drifting around turns. You must get the Manual if you want to do anything other then straight pulls for fun.

I bought a 2002 Z28 convertible new. Within the first month I installed subframe connectors, and replaced the tires, shocks, torque converter, and intake air box. We have lived happily ever since. 80,000 miles and it still rocks.

my friend I met at a local car meet, was selling an 01 Camaro z28 ls1 auto, with 100,000 and a cherry interior for 4,000. absolutely one of the best bang for your buck cars around. speaking of fbodys, I also met another guy here in reno, and he's got the SLP version, and I can tell you from seeing it with my own eyes, it's got the SLP intake, ls6 manifold and TB, with the factory SLP exhaust, he was keeping up head to head with my friend in a 2016 Camaro SS a8, which by the way, I'd really like to see one of those in the upcoming reviews. they are absolute animals. great build quality and an absolute factory monster. great job on this video and hopefully you can find time to read. thanks!

Great Review David! Gotta say though the 6 speed in the fbody of that era is so much more fun than the auto. They also handle pretty well. Not a great reaction at 6:35 from you, but try one on a track or one with suspension mods and push it hard and you'd be surprised! (better tires and brakes help) Great cheap all around platform. Especially for acceleration and drag racing.
