You guys are only talking about the TBI motor that were installed in pick up trucks also. What about the TPI cars? The later years,91-92, ran low 14's out of the factory. I have seen stock LT1's run the same time. I knew someone w/ a bolt on IROC, 5.7 TPI run low 13's and w/ a shot of nitrous low to mid 11's. So,again,why do 3rd gens suck?
Also we are all F-body owners. Why does it seem if you don't own a 4th gen or 1st to early 2nd gen your car is crap!
You are all wrong, if you don't drive a 4th gen you are in the wrong.


And if you hadn't caught on... I am arguing for arguments sake.

I'll take my turdgen over any LT1 4thgen ANY day of the week and twice on Sunday's. The only exception "might" be a 96-97 SS...for some reason I just love them.

My car isn't anything special but I also don't have a complex about it...I could brag about it(omgz, can haz supercharger) but I'm not a douche(well at least about that ).

Sounds like a personal problem. T-top or hard top, if the weather stripping is old, it's GOING to leak. My '88 T/A hard top leaked way more than my current '85 T/A t-top does.

Everyone's comparing the speed of a vehicle with 18-28 year old engines to 8-18 year old engines... for the most part, you're going to see an improvement as newer models come out, hands-down (with the exception of LT1's... lol). I left a stock 350 second gen in the dust with my '88... big whoop. Since a majority of forum members drive 4th gens, the 3rd gens are seen as slow, and 2nd and 1st gens are just old classics.

Wait a couple years for a few more 5th gen camaro owners to show up... then you 4th gen owners will be the snails in the group. Us third-gen'ers can go hang with the 2nd and 1st gens

It's all a matter of perception.

Ive gone 15.7 with CAI, 4:10, aluminum D/S , A/C delete, and the rest is suspension. Oh did I mention I suck at any type of drag racing, get a good driver in there, and I'm sure it may scoot a little faster down the lane

give the right situation you could. It would probably take a Y87 packaged Camaro to pull that off wiht a really good driver, but it could be done.
