ive been using mobil 1 5w30 in my SS for a little over a year now, and i went to wal mart to buy some more. Of course, they didn't have any so i bought Pennzoil Ultra. do you think this is a good alternative? i was also thinking about switching to 10w30 oil since its so hot here in south carolina. any thoughts?

I wouldn't break a sweat over that and neither will your engine.
Ultra is GREAT oil. I also wouldnt be concerned about the 5w vs the 10w either. Once its heated up its the same viscocity anyway. Must be fun having 3 Camaro's

My experience shows that Ultra is an awesome oil (dare I say as good as M1 without being flamed?)

well, my 97 and 98 are gone i now have my 2010 and my truck as my DD. my 98 i would say is the most fun while the 2010 has the more cool factor i guess both completely different vehicles IMO.

Yes, and NOT JUST in a straight line, like everyone (or at least most) in import nameplate only-land so falsely think.

Beefed up Camaros have always been good in corners, even the old Nova platform ones.
Heck, a late Nova with an SBC and F41 suspension was pretty good in its own right.
I drove both a big block Trans Am and a Z28 that had been built in the 'seventies, and both were really impressive machines to drive.
The TA was a four speed, and was a '76 (IIRC) while the Z28 was of course an SBC and was automatic. IIRC, it was a '78.
I had the fun of repossesing both cars in '79 or '80.
Both were fast and had fine cornering limits, and both rode a whole lot better than the Corvette of the same era, although they were good fun to repo too.
Probably my favorite car of the period, though, was a '76 530i.
Fast and capable in the corners, but with such a well contolled ride and a feel of solidity that no American or Japanese product of the era could touch.
Mercedes of the era were the same way, but no 115 or 123 was anything like as fast or as sporty to drive as the BMWs.
I also enjoyed repoing a '78 280Z five speed.
Impressive car in every way.
