    94 z28

    Hey guys, Looking to pick this Z28 up and wondered if it's worth what the guy is asking. Figured someone around here has to be a Camaro guru. The car looks clean, real low miles and has an LT4 hot cam swap. 1994 Z28 Blue book says it's worth that but wanted a real opinion. Thanks!

    Tahoe vs Suburban

    Anyone on here have any experience with the newer Tahoe's or Suburbans say 2004+ 4wds? I'm leaning more towards the GMT900 bodys in the 2007+ but am open to opinions.
