I mean of course my passion is the classic 69 Camaro, 72 Chevelle, 61 Impala and a few others, but I wasn't alive to see all those cars rolling down the street. As far as the 84 IROC and 92 Mustang GT, I remember it like it was yesterday.

No such thing as an 84 IROC 85 was the first year

Good discussion, I am a 4th gen Trans Am veteran before my 69 and I never saw too many people go away from bolting on parts to the stock style Torque arm suspension. Like others said, you can do a nice setup with any of those companies like BMR, Spohn, UMI etc and the prices of the parts are relatively cheap. One of my good friends does a lot of auto crossing his 4th gen and he says with the right bolt on parts he can spank C5's and C6's. He stresses brakes, tires and shocks are most important.

I always have my eye out for clean Fox body Mustangs and 91-92 Trans Am GTA's. Heck I almost bought a 91 GTA recently but found something else I love the cars from the 90's even the RX7's, Supras etc it was a fun time.

My bad, a few people were driving 85's at the end on 84. So, I thought they were 84's. Hey, I was only 11 years old then and didn't know any better. LOL!! Nonetheless, I love them.

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.

Bro, never sale that car unless it's life or death. I love those cars.

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
