the best gen. camaro

[kenwood guy]

what would be the best gen camaro?? and when I say the best i mean the best engine choices how easy to tune, swap, value ratio, aftermarket support,times power to weight ratios everything.

well, im a bit biased because i own two of them, but i would have to say the third gens are the best all around camaros. They are the most modern design, that still is simple enough for the average person to work on, uses old school small blocks with a cult following, and a massive aftermarket feild supporting them. They are amazingly cheap right now, and if you do the work yourself, can be very cheap to modify. They balance old school and creature comforts, and do it in what i think is great style. I just feel that there are far more options when working with them than other generations, and the performance you can get out of them is quite impressive.

same here, i think 3rd looks worst though

I like my 3rd but I think first is the best looking camaro around. Early 70s with the round tail lights were nice but then they went to hell until they were almost at the end of 2nd gen. I dont like 4th gens at all although I like the 4th gen pontiacs.

im gonna get a kit so my 3rd geh taillights looks like the early 70's ones its gonna look hot

[89IROC&RS]

shit man, if were talkin looks, then definatly the first gen camaros, i mean come on, and then the split bumper 1970 model, and then the third gens. but i thought we were talkin all around best here????

[kenwood guy]

yea your right man but as far as preformence would the 4th gen be the best out of the factory???

[korndogg]

yeah im just gonna go ahead and say first gen. i think you know why

[89IROC&RS]

out of the factory the 4th gen would overall be the fastest, but there were certainly some faster, factory first gens and i think a 1970 LT1 Z28 would give the new camaros a run for their money.

[kenwood guy]

wow I had no idea even with all that computer stuff the the 4th gens have???

[89IROC&RS]

1969 Camaro ZL1 from the factory ran mid 13's, with 6in bias ply slicks and headers, it ran mid to low 11's. lets see a fourth gen do that and i think the '70 LT1 ran mid 13's

[kenwood guy]

with thoses numbers the Camaro name will never die. but thoses engines at the time were carbureted...ahh I guess it comes to show that old school is still in school baby

[89IROC&RS]

lmao, well said but imagine that engine with todays technology, or shit, upgrade the suspension to todays standards, and put modern rubber on it, it would be damn scary.
