New to the board.

Thought I would stop in and introduce myself. I have a 94 z but just picked up 2 84 t/a's today. Sold one to a friend and the other is a father son project for my son's first car. Thought I had better get on here and refresh my memory on the third gens. I have had a ton of F-bodies in my past. I figure I will always own one. Anyway, I am also the President of Northern Illinois F-Body assoc. If anyone wants to check us out, click the link in my sig. We would be happy to have ya, and we do a ton of stuff from Mod days to hitting the track with MFBA (I am also a member there) to Huge GTG's. So anyway, got some reading to do on here.

that 94 looks really clean, makes me wonder if I might want a 4th gen. Although I am a bit more partial to the WS.6 trans ams in all black or dark blue.

Thanks. I did a complete tear down of the car and had it restored. Motor work comes in Feb. Right now as it sits it is fast. Got the suspension dialed in, it actually cut 1.6 60' on street tires. It's fun, but I would love to find a NBM ws6!
