Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?
I have had 3 counting an 84 z28 parts car, 89 rs, 90 rs (sold cause I needed the money and I was working on it more than it was on the road). Looking for my 4th one, trying to find a 92 camaro z28.

Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?
1st car was an 1982 with the iron duke 4 cyl and a 4 speed manual trans.
A few years later I bought a 1989 RS with a 305 TBI Auto trans.
A few years after that and it was a 1991 Firebird with the 305 TBI 5 speed.
Then shortly after that was a 1986 Trans am with a 305 TPI. (only one I never did use as my driver)
And just recently sold, leaving me without a third gen at the moment, was my favorite. 1987 Formula 350. It was hard watching it leave but for the moment a necessity.
I am thinking about buying a Trans am that was setup for a Big Block but debating if its something I can tackle right now.
Othewise looking at a 84 Z28 5 speed project. We'll see which one or what other one I may end up with!

Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?
4. Loved every one of them. I bought the new camaro while it was a great ride i sold it. The wife tried to get me to look at performance sedans i couldn't do it. I'm getting my favourite car i liked in high school 20 years ago a black/black GTA. Searching for a new ride is half the fun.

Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?
I've only owned one, always kinda over looked them untill i swapped around and got a 4th gen and decied to mod it. I said screw it, i want more room to work with, and the third gens look better anyway.
Growing up my mom always had a third gen, i even took one for a joy ride when i was 2 or 3. My dad had more 2nd and 3rd gens than i could count.

Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?
I've had two. The first was a brand new 1989 Turbo 20th Anniversary Trans Am (with some mods) it ran 12.1 @ 115 mph in the 1/4 and was featured in a Dec.1989 issue of HPP where it blew the doors off a 1965 tri-power GTO, in side by side racing at Raceway Park, NJ.
I now have a 1991 Formula 350 that is currently featured the October 2012 issue of HPP and I have owned it for 17 years now.

Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?
My first was an 88 RS and I still have it. Got it senior year of high school as the second owner. Actually planning on a restore in the next year or 2 once I finish my current project.
I had an 87 RS as well.
I currently have an 86 IROC Z28 along with the 88 mentioned above.
Not Third Gen, but I've also had:
78' Z28
78' LT
81' Berlinetta

Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?
Just two, a 92 RS and a 91 Z 28. I've loved them since they started building 'em, dreamed about owning a new one in HS, just never made the leap until a couple years ago when I bought the Z for my wife. I decided I wanted one as a DD for myself and bought the RS. Might get a third this fall to be a "toy".

Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?
1st car was an 1982 with the iron duke 4 cyl and a 4 speed manual trans.
A few years later I bought a 1989 RS with a 305 TBI Auto trans.
A few years after that and it was a 1991 Firebird with the 305 TBI 5 speed.
Then shortly after that was a 1986 Trans am with a 305 TPI. (only one I never did use as my driver)
And just recently sold, leaving me without a third gen at the moment, was my favorite. 1987 Formula 350. It was hard watching it leave but for the moment a necessity.
I am thinking about buying a Trans am that was setup for a Big Block but debating if its something I can tackle right now.
Othewise looking at a 84 Z28 5 speed project. We'll see which one or what other one I may end up with!

However I did buy and just recently sell a 1985 Z28 305 Carburated. It was a fun car for the short time I had it but being a hard top I wanted something else. Also recently purchased was a 1988 GTA L98. Unfortunately it was wrecked and sat for too many years. Its sad story is helping my current car just bought Friday 8-17-12.
1987 Trans am that has a 350 TPI swapped in. Factory T-tops. Rock sold body and the rear wrap around spoiler is uncracked! It also has a lot of aftermarket goodies on it and as a result doesn't idle well. Runs like a monster when above 1500 RPM! Going to try to get it to idle better because doing hole shots to keep it running will likely result in many tickets!

Re: How many 3rd Gens have you owned?
Here are a few pics of my old '89 Trans Am from 2001. Originally came as an Lb9 but I swapped the motor to an L98, ditched the drum rear and added a 9bolt with 3.27 gears,Jegster SFC,LCA and loop. I did so HOOKER Shorties along with a custom YPipe and magnaflow muffler. This car ran the best of 13.8@103 with 3000+' DA at sea level 13.3 was average...... Bone stock L98 gotta love that L98 with a manual trans too many fbodies to list
