Haha...I was 11 years old as well! My IROC was built in April of 85...the cool thing about that is that the color, Artic White, wasn't introduced until mid year so they are fairly rare....I've only seen one other white 85 IROC.

doesn't really seem like there are too many guys out there yet with some serious money locked up in thirdgens, but it looks it slowly headed towards that directions especially with these lsx motors.

I have a combination of suspension parts on my Camaro to include Spohn, Eibach, Hotchkis, TDS, J&M Strutmounts, and Moog steering components. So I'm not particular to one company, but this article was in the newest issue of Camaro Performers with the article comparing the times to a 2011 Camaro. Of course, there have been several other articles with various media outlets through the years comparing times to newer vehicles. It's all in what you want and how much you are willing to spend.

im new to this board, i have a 92 third gen.. i agree most people want sexy parts on a low budget... im one of those guys, but a piece at a time and you will get there... if you readbook on suspention set up and design and aerodynamics you will see the potential in these cars, but stiffening the chassis is a must, nomatter what...

im by no means a suspention designer , but i do love the look on a porshe owners face when a beet old camaro keeps pulling on him in a curvy canyon road ...these are fantastic cars, as long as there set up right, they will suprise you over and over..

with the right knowledge and tools you can build anything yourself.... for example...i didnt want the half ass coilover set that is provided for our cars and i didnt want off the shelf struts... i wanted a set of penske struts... but they cost alot,, i cant afford that... i built my own set.. a buddy of mine builds racing shocks for a living.. took us a year to design them and machine the internals... but i did it.. ONE OFF.. and rears with external resi as well... i guess what im trying to say is, if you want it bad enough, you can build it yourself, and know there is only one in the world like yours:thumbsup:

Any body can have sexy part's on a budget.Spend your money on tool's instead of part's.Start by buying Welder's(Tig,Mig),Band saw(hor,Vert),drill press,vert mil,lathe,tube bender & notcher,bead roller,shear,bending brake,Hand tools,drill bits,end mill cutter's,Etc.This is what I did.I built a shop and made sure I had equipment to build a hot rod on a budget.Or you could do what my friend's did!!!!!.Become friend's with someone who has a fab shop and hang out until he gets tried of hearing you bitch about having trouble building stuff and then does it for you,just so you will go away.!!!!!!
