Title: 1993-2002 Camaro Question
Post by: Scoobum on March 18 2012, 11:26:28 AM

The girlfriend is currently in the market for a 1993-2002 LT1/LS1 6 speed powered Camaro. My question is this. How much abuse can the 6 speed transmission and differential take if the engine is left in its stock configuration?

My dad's 1995 LT1 6-speed has 150,000 miles on it - original clutch, no drive train problems.  Optispark on the  LT1 is a POS.  I would try and get a LS1 if possible.

LS1....put some sticky tires on it and the clutch/tranny/rear end might object with 5000 rpm slide the foot off the clutch launches, but otherwise it should be fine

I had an LS1 TA and drove the hell out of it for 70k miles, had 150 nitrous shot and K&N air filter only mods. No problems. Traded it in for a 03 Cobra.
