Atlanta Area ?
Hello fellow thirdgen owners. i have been on and off of this site for a long time. i live in the atlanta area. i always check out the posts in the South east region. there never seem to be ANYONE posting from the Atlanta area! where are all the thirdgen owners around atlanta? would love to hook up sometimes. maybe get together and go to the drag strip in Eatonton or lagrange.(well i guess its kinda late in the season now) i was in eatonton saturday. ran a low 7 in the 8th mile. not too many race cars there, but plenty of stunters. come on atlanta and surrounding areas, post up!

Re: Atlanta Area ?
Nice. That's like..ehhh..70 miles from me. I think. So are there any f-body meetings or gatherings in this general area or state? Cos I know when I had my 94 ford which I just sold, all the gatherings were mostly up north and out west. I went to 2 and they were in florida nd Atlanta. And I'd be pretty interested in going to one.

Same here, new and used interior parts. Painted the interior plastic parts. Cam, heads, headers, upgrading the brakes, 4th gen SS wheels and new paint job. Top half metallic black with velocity yellow bottom.

Re: Atlanta Area ?
i was at a park here in snellville about 5 weeks ago, and this guy and his wife pulled in in one of the cleanest 3rd gen camaros i've seen in a long while. it had a very beautiful paint job(one solid color no flames or anything like that) i went over and started talking with him about the car. he was very friendly and didn't mind answering my many questions. he popped the hood and man, you could have eaten off the lb9(?) 350 5.7L engine. it was gourgeous(spelling ?) it had an aftermarket exaughst (not flowmaster, if i remember right) that sounds really sweet. asked him if he knew about this site, and of course he did. he said that he had won some trophies at the big meet that they put on in marrietta every year here. very nice guy and car. btw it was briscoe park if you were wondering

Re: Atlanta Area ?
I live in Dunwoody, a suburb just 20 miles north of downtown. I run my 87 IROC in the SCCA in C-Prepared class. I have been wanting to head to the drag strip with it at some point, but I need to flush out a couple of electrical bug first.
I have a couple of stock hoods, fenders and a door if anybody needs anything on that front, they can be had for a short song. (almost nothing)

Re: Atlanta Area ?
I'm just a few blocks from Columbus State U. I'm not going to use them. Decided to go with long tubes and dump the exhaust at the axle. They are not a name brand...$40 bucks I guess. I dont have a y-pipe for them.

I'm in the process of looking for a 3rd gen, preferably Camaro around middle Georgia. Live in Perry, just a short ways south of Warner Robins. Glad to know there's a good bit of 3rd gen drivers in Georgia! Hopefully going to join yall soon haha

Re: Atlanta Area ?
If you don't mind the trim level, there's a guy down the road from me that's selling what I believe to be a 91' RS with a new motor.

Re: Atlanta Area ?
We are from Quitman, near Valdosta, 240 miles south. We live in NC now, 140 miles north of Atlanta, but still consider ourselves Georgians. We come to Atlanta 8 to 10 times a year.
Checkout Georgia F-Body. There are some members who live in the Atlanta area.
You'all come to the F Body Gathering in Marietta on Memorial Weekend.
We have a whole section just for thirdgens...
