Turdgen
 

i think I might buy this 89 camaro from a friend of mine...its got a 400 smallblock in it...I accualy know the original owner and he worked that engine to the teeth...I was going to buy it but for some reason went with the 3.4, go figure. but now I might get it for a sick track car...the best time in was a 12.3 then there was more done to it and it never made it back to atco. Any body got and input or ussfull info on third gens

ive have 2 curently and had another, i love em lol

Not sure an F-body forum would know anything about any gen Camaro.

I was thinking the same :fluffy:

Find out if its a 4 or 2 bolt main block. 2 bolts are better.

Get cam specs from the owner, find out what rear, gear, t/c and trans first. Find out the rpo's. Are you going to tow it to the track? or register/drive it?

heres some input:: other people that don't have 3rd gens can make fun of them and call them thurd gens but if your going to own one man get some respect for the third gen and give it it's do. it's not "turd gen" we don't need one of our own giving us bad names:lol:
p.s.on a side note if it aint fast it is a turd gen:rofl:
j/k

I know this car. It's my friend steve's car. its ok, the paint on it is nice, liek a royal blue. and I dunno if it ran a 12.3, the guy who built it blows more smoke out of his ass then there is truth, hes the guy that bought my 2nd gen. The guys a little schemey too. anywho the info i was given on it was its a 400 sb in it, with a th400, but theres something wrong with it, theres a knock in the engine, dunno if its a bad rocker, bad lifter, or bad motor, like i said i wouldnt trust that gus work. Id buy it, but i gotta save up for court ....RIGHT HUGH! anywho its nice ,but find something you can work wiht a little more, i dont trust him. As for steve, hes a good kid, and he shouldnt of bought it.

They seem to prefer resting on jackstands to sitting on their own wheels :-P

:roll: :stfu:

My turd gen semms to be more reliable then my fourth gen

I agree.. show some respect because our THIRD GENs will walk anything you will ever own.

yea yea court i know...and yes it needs valve work...but its nothin i can't do in a days work. and i wouldn't be so certain about thirdgens walking anything i'll own...

he said, "their third gens" meaning that unless youve got something that has potential to run sub 9s youre SOL.

I would

then i hope to hell i see you at atco this summer

I will run you any place any time. Just bring your allowance and start saving your lunch money cause I'm taking it to the bank.

we'll see

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't think i'm gonna race the 94...that would be just stupid

YEAH!!!11one!! the 94 is gonna be a wheel stander, not a drag car!

edit, you should get it, do the valve work, and then when i get my liscence it should be a close race :)

WF made a funny!!!! :rofl: Nice one.



I miss my 3rd gen, it was fun to drive.

ROFLMAO:rofl:

anywat the f'n point is...i'm trying to find good aftermarket suspention, engine or drivetrain parts and being i'm not very familliar with thirdgens i figuered i'd ask being so many of you have them

There are tons of good aftermarket suspension parts for thirdgens, such as spohn, UMI and tons of others. Focus on your 4thgen before you go and ask about parts for a car you dont have.

:shock:

well i want to go ahead and get an idea of what i can do to it befor i buy it...with in reason of course
