View Full Version : A strange thought popped into my head, I should buy a third gen

since I've never owned one before. :lol: So I starting thinking what would be a cool/fun/different third gen worth owning? Obviously the TTA would be the coolest, but that's a Firebird and I only buy Camaros so it would need to be a Camaro third gen. Hmmm, 1LE, B4C, 82 Indy Pace Car?

Do it! 1LE's are basically the top performance cars but they don't look any different than any other IROC/Z28. How about just picking up a 91/92 and turn it into something custom?

You only buy Camaro's so obviously going fast isn't your thing.....kidding. ;):D

I'd say a nice/clean 91-92 Z28 would be the ticket. It'd be a good base to start with. That car would be ripe for a LS1 swap, a trans of your choice and a 12-bolt. You'd be happy with that. :D

Screw LS1s, everyone and their mother swaps them...

BBC or rotary swap.

:)

I vote a black third gen, heavy tint, black wheels, lowered, and a nasty exhaust tone.

Get a nice 3rd gen vert! I like the IROCs.

I would stay away from the early crossfire or cab'd cars! Look for a 88+ with TPI.

Go for a TPI car! I never thought i'd like third gens but after having one and driving a couple I really do like them even the 6 cyl cars. Very cool cars for the time period and fun to drive since they corner so nice with little modification. Would make a nice daily driver

thats funny....i always stayed away from the Fuel Injected thirdgens. lg4 ftw...also makes swaps easier :nod:

Wouldn't a TPI/TBI car make as swap easier because of fuel system?

Not true, I had two 4 speed Camaros earlier this year and now I'm down to one. I'm definitely leaning towards a 5 speed car. That IROC is pretty nice, I wonder what his reserve is.

The 1LE is actually a towing package with the bigger brakes, aluminum driveshaft and beefier suspension. I heard they came with the trailer wiring harness tucked into the trunk! :wink:

3rd gens are great. I still miss mine. I think the 91-92 camaros are the best looking ones ever made. Just dont expect anyone outside of this board to know it. No matter how nice your is... most people look at them and immediately think "****** camaro."

almost bought a cammed 85 iroc with heads/cam lt1, 12 bolt, t56 and it was utterly awesome. It ran a 12.1 at 124 with a 2.3 60'. However, I would vote building a nasty single turbo ls1 in a base model camaro body.
