Because Im thinking of getting a late 90's model or a early 90's model camro. and All that I need to know is of how much HP it has for all years from 90-99 and if it would be worth to get. :P

93-98's should have 285hp in V8 models (if i remember right) and around 200 in 6 Cyl's.
I'd definitely get a Camaro or Firebird. Power to Weight ratio is coo, and acceleration is phat...V8 run high 14's stock. Grab one dogg.

Well as a 2000 Camaro SS owner all I can say is there great cars....
The early 90's 3rd gen cars are good, but I'd say go with a 93-02 4th gen car.
A early 90's 3rd gen Z28 will have between 220-240 hp.
BUT a 93-95 Z28 4th gen will have 275 hp, and its a much better engine, the LT1.
In 96-97 they had 285 hp.
But if you can afford it, get a 98-02 Z28 or SS the Z28 will have between 305-310 hp.
The SS will have between 320-345 hp from the all new LS1 engine.
If you have any questions ask, I know ALOT about Camaros and Firebirds.
I've owned a few. :-)

The V8 LT1 (93-97) runs EASY low 14's high 13's.
The V8 (98-02) runs EASY low 13's high 12's.

The LS1's are MUCH easier to work on then the LT1's.
My car has 50K on it, and about 150 1/4 mile passes with
no major issues, my other Camaros all ran great....

Dammit guy, aren't you supposed to be a Mustang Lover? :evil: (joking)
Camaro and Mustang were direct competition even though the Camaro retained the original formula better, yes they are rwd cars, they are pony cars, and like the smaler siblings of muscle cars they are supposed to be rwd

Yeah, power is totally sueless if you're not familiar enough to get any sort of potential out of a car. I'm sorry, am I the only one very stunned at the fact that soemone thought the Camaro maybe wasn't RWD? Anyway, yeah, find a solid used Firebird or Camaro, dump a couple grand on the engine, exhaust, and tranny and you have a smokin' street beast.

Depending on the amount of money you have id go with the LS1, this comming from a LT1 owner.
But I have a auto 96 Z28 with basic mods and I can hold off a LS1 till about 85 or so and thats when they start to pull up top normally on me.

Maybe, or it could have been a v6 with Z28 emblems I have seen it before lol.
