How many of you still have your 4th gen Camaro or Firebird?
Just interested, these vehicles are now approaching 20+ yrs old.

Let mine go this past summer after 16+ years of ownership. Life dynamics changed and drove it very little. Around 58,xxx on it when I sold it. Simply to good of an offer to pass up. New owner appears to be enjoying it.
Put the proceeds towards my now 2013 ZL1 that I picked up with only 6,400 miles on it.

Still got mine. This is our 15th anniversary. Man time flies.
And damn some parts are getting hard to find and pricey. Can't even find a SLP grill under $400.

Black- 2000 WS6 6spd Hooker LT
One thing I really like about the 4th gen, especially as time goes on, is the relatively low weight. 3550 lbs. So, this is why I am looking at horsepower options for our WS6. My wife just ordered and bought a 2021 Shaker with M6. The 5.7 Hemi makes 375/375 torque. It runs 100 MPH at the drag strip (and if you realistically compare that with cars from the late 60s, it would almost always win then!). Has a 3.90 rear gear. Makes me wonder how that engine would do with 6-700 lbs less weight. We do love the looks and all the room it has. 4 adults actually fit without complaining, lol. We could afford to trade it in on a Scat Pack, but payments would start all over. $3k in the WS6 would really go far.
Heads and a cam will get me about 75, maybe more for the WS6. How much is enough? Never enough, lol. If I can do that and start getting trap speeds over 115, that will be fast enough for me. One thing I have learned is there will always be someone faster. I just want to be faster than 97% of the people at stop lights, not car shows where it seems like everyone has at least a $75,000 car with at least 600 HP. I don't have that kind or money.
That's why I don't plan to sell our 4th gen either. She still looks great, drives and sounds really good, no dents or rust anywhere, maybe some faded paint in a few spots if you know where to look.
Oh, we are not interested in any EV. Those are fast, sure, but soulless.
Yup, keeping it.

Actually, correction to my above post. Was at the track on a perfect DA night, she's still trapping 110 mph. Well, 109.65 rounds up to 110 lol. Best was a 13.07 at 109.65, 3 others over 109. Now, about those drag radials and a 9"....

Red- 2002 Camaro SS
I've still got mine over here in NJ.
Bought it brand new on 1/12/2002, had it for over 20 years now.
Just turned over 66,000 miles last week.
It is 2002 car #4452, 6 speed, t-tops, SLP Bilsten, dual/dual, and SLP OEM lid. It is pretty much bone stock, save for an aftermarket drive shaft.

So, I just picked this up a few weeks back:
1997 TA WS6, Hardtop, 6spd, Black with cloth interior. Running the RPO codes with just that info, it breaks down to 1 of 86.
Perhaps I picked up this car with a little bit of a "White Knight" complex. I have seen the potential that this car can be brought back to. So, I moved on it to get it away from the former owner before the car ended up to far gone. It has some mechanical issues (CEL w/ P0400 EGR code, butchered exhaust before cat-back, clutch, window motors) but cosmetically, it's an all around solid car.
Goodies include: LT1 Prokit, Borla cat-back, Strut bar, Car Cover, new tires.
