98 or 99?

**SS Performance** · 03-01-2008, 01:58 PM

I'm looking at several Camaros.

In particular I'm looking at a 98 and a 99 both are LS1 with auto trans.

My questions are what are the differences? Computer tunability trans features etc.

Any feed back would be appreciated.

Can't go wrong with either one. Both have the exact same specs,
Tell us some info on the 2 camaros Ex. price, miles, colors, t-tops? vert? hardtop? ect. ect.

Minor differences between the 98 LS1's and 99-02.

Thank you for the info.

I heard the 98 ECM was not as tunable as the 99-02. Is there any truth to that?

There are no issues with tuning the 98 ECM, its just a different plug in than the 99-02s have.

I would get the 99. There are sutle differences if you plan to mod later down the road. IE: the '98 valve covers are different than the rest (You will have to get new ones if you plan on a H&C swap) , the cylinder walls are also thinner and cannot be bored as much.

If I were you, I would look for a 01 or an 02. They have all the upgraded features (LS6 intake manifold, No air or EGR, Slightly better flowing heads, thicker cylinder walls) to name a few.
