This is the last group of people that will tease you. Most of us love that car and generation, no matter how underpowered it was. Besides, its a Camaro still.

I have owned around 5 3rd gens, including Firebirds.

3rdgens

that looks so nice. Is it original?

PalmerGA · 05-01-2018, 03:54 PM

Not bad looking, but performance-wise... it's a dog. Not even close on either level, to a Gen 5!

Agreed. It’s the 220hp 5 speed model. But I’ve always wanted one. Back in the 80’s I was a C4 guy but now I need a back seat for the kids.

Yes all original. The top looks a little aged like it was stored in the trunk but other then that it’s as clean as my 2012. I already ordered a new top. I have to admit I was just as excited with this one as the Gen5.
