      Why is it that they all look pretty cool in these pics, but every time I see one in person I just shake my head? Perhaps it's because they're usually being driven by mullet headed rednecks in faded black hair metal t-shirts? Could be...



      BTW, after looking at all these pics, the biggest styling tragedy for these cars must be a cowl hood... not at all complimentary to the car's lines.

      My issue with those cars is the strut suspensions, and the narrow wheelbase combined with a 192" length. They're 7" shorter in the wheelbase than a first and second gen, but 6" longer in length.

      Just found this thread a couple of days ago. I'm on my third 3rd gen. I have always liked their looks more than I disliked the whole mullet/hair metal thing. IMO the best looking Camaro of all time is the split bumper 2nd gen, then the 3rd, the 1st, (can't hang with the chopped off front end) the 5th and the 4th. Just my taste. As far as the performance and handling weaknesses are concerned; that's why we have DSE, Global West, Wilwood, etc., etc., etc. Hopefully the 3rds will get more respect as time passes. In my town, virtually every time I take my '89 IROC out for a spin, some thirtysomething guy at a stop light offers to buy it. The best was a guy who said: "It sounds angry!" Thank you Chevrolet and Flowmaster!

      I always liked the roof line of the 3rd gen rag tops when the roof was up. If the same roof had been available in steel I would have one.

      heres my 89 third gen I picked up for $3500 a month ago....

      had a 87 since 1990 but it needed alot of work to get it back on the road.....this thing came up....almost identical to my old one, 305 tpi, 5 spd, 4 whl disc....put my good "one line" (thirdgen speak) 87 wheels on it new tires, new brakes and an O2 sensor and Im rollin'....buffed up the faded paint got the car professionally detailed and steam cleaned to get the stench out....feels really good....sold my other one in a heartbeat, the guy is going to put an LS1 and 6spd in it

      let all my fiends go for a drive in it.....then the "no respect" third gen has plenty of respect when they get back, they love it, nothing like a clean running torquey v8 and a slick shifting 5spd.....I tell them to find an open stretch of road get to 1500 rpm in 4th and floor it to redline and hold on while the tpi pulls cleanly from 15mph to over 100.

      I want to make a "GT'/mild track day car out of this one, frame connectors, aftermarket track bar, lower control arms, Koni's, GOOD stereo, some nice sport seats.....something I wouldnt hesitate to hop in and in a moments notice and drive cross country with the A/C on....at this point I got like 5gs in the car

      I love it!

      Twin Turbo,
      I'm like Shortrack; more details please!! My red '89 IROC has all the suspension goodies Global West had in their inventory back in '99 plus Wilwood frontbrakes and Fikse FM5s. (collector's items now, I suppose) There's also some other stuff; blablabla like you said. The project is currently stalled because of-big surprise-money and I'd love to hear more about a project similar to mine that's actually moving forward!
      Best,
      Chuck

      No thread here, but I do have one on 3rdgen. It's nothing really spectacular..just a street build. I didn't want to go all crazy with it like on the 77 and especially the 82 vette (which I haven't worked on in over 2 years)

      I've had this IROC for ~14 yrs now. 3 years ago swapped in an ls1 / t56. Has suspension mods, ground control setup, etc. Handles nicely, nothing too fancy. I do a little of everything - auto-x, drag, track day, but my main pleasure is drifting.



      (I have since gotten rid of the restrictive stock TPI intake setup)

      I like the way they look, etc.

      that first camaro is awesome! And the first page from Mr. Vengance the white camaro. Some sick rides on here.

      I had a 89 Iroc Fully loaded to the hill! Even the stupid overhead console and compass. I just sold it this year. But I bought it this year too. LOL.

      Bought it from a friend who was going through a tough divorce. Once he realized she wasnt gonna try and get the car from him, I sold it back to him for same price (although I busted my ass fixing it up AND taking out the ****ing stupid ricer gauges and blue indiglo lighting under the dash).

      Such rice. lol

      But anyways, back to the subject.. sick cars
