Car: 87 IROC-Z28 Engine: 350 5.7L Tuned Port Injection Transmission: 700-R4 Auto Axle/Gears: 9-Bolt with 3.27's | If you have seen ThirdGen.Org mentioned in a magazine....
We are asking that you post what magazine, title of the article, date of the issue, and what was said about the site. If you have the magazine, it would be great if you would scan it and E-Mail it to webmaster@thirdgen.org. If you are, post that you are doing so in this topic also. The idea is to make a list of mentions the site has had in different magazines and articles.
Thanks.

| If third gen owners send letters/non-digital pictures to our Street Heat section and mention that they hang out here, I'll include it in the write-up. | |

| In the UK:-
Classic American magazine
Issue Number:- 134
Published in June 2002.
Article regarding a 1987 Camaro IROC-Z Convertible in dark metallic red. Lots of compliments for Willie in the article as he had helped the guy with accumulating information etc. And a small information box regarding www.thirdgen.org as shown below:-
If anyone would like the whole article then email me. Am I allowed to post it on the board as long as names and registration plates are fuzzed out? Perhaps one of the mods can let me know via PM. | |

Car: 1990 TA Engine: LB9 305 Transmission: 4L60 | It was in the March 2004 issue of GMHTP, p56 "Project Snowball"
You forgot to mention the unfortunate reason why a thirdgen was picked. The author had fun at the track with a Fourth gen belonging to BSR, and liked it. However he wasn't willing to wreck a fourth gen in the future, so he "needed a car rthat was relatively easy and cheap to replace" if he crashed on the course.
He should have mentioned however where the engine swap section is. I'm sure a newbie will be looking on the main page rather than the forums.

Car: 91 Suburban, 91 Z28 Engine: I have one that runs ;) Transmission: Caged hamster that runs really fast Axle/Gears: They are round, I know that much | In the December 2004 Issue of Chevy high Performance the article on page 86 In Sync: Choosing the Proper Speedo Gears for your 700-R4 (BTW very informative for those who have done changes with rear ends and transmissions) goes on to say they used the Tech Equations on the main page and refered to TGO as "one of our favorite Camaro sites", as they were working on the project car "The Bi--hin Camaro." Thought it was a cool plug in a sense and figured I would let you all in and share. | |
