The owners.

THE ULTIMATE PET PEEVE THAT I DONT THINK ANYONE SAID.....

The AC system has a leak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Squeaks, creaks, groans, thumps, bumps, moans and groans.

I couldnt stand the noise my car was making this morning. Just soo many different sounds that it drives me nuts. Im now thinking about calling my car a lost cause and find something else.

 

:hail:

 

maybe they should sell their cars for better ones so that they wouldn't complain about parts that have worn out or break because of the age of their car. :lala:

 

I feel your pain---I'm in the same boat.
I can literay get a headache from all the noise my car makes---what a POS...makes me want to sell too.

 

I wouldnt be bothered if I could put it down to just the cars age (11 years still isnt that old). But since I also ride in a vette thats 20 years older than it and barely even squeeks (caused by **** in the seat after throttle mash) I guess my standards are a little high for a car with no frame.

I was just angry this morning, Im looking up new weatherstripping and sound deadener right now. As much as the car sucks my money and pisses me off, its still a blast to ride in.... and I dont see myself ever selling it.

 

lousy brakes unless u have ile brakes$$$$ great handling though

 

Vettes were made better.

 

vettes also cost an **** load more.....

 

a '72 Vette,then, cost less than a '92 camaro

 

Yup because they bitch about cars that are 11-21 years old and have all the problems with them Gee I wonder why they have crappy brakes, rattles, the paint sucks and just about whatver else people have mentioned in this post. They are old and for the time that they were made they were awesome performers and people tend to forget that. Hence why I said the owners are the worst part of a thirdgen.

very true, my car only had 73k miles on it when igot it, but it was in the worst shape ever, i have sent a little over 6k, so far and not that much into the motor.

 

No big complaints about mine.Glad to see that there are others out there that have to tap the hood in order to get it up.I even adjusted the tension in cable and still I have to talk to it just right for it to pop up.Another pain are the concealed headlights always going off and on.Sometimes they refuse to come on when using the dashboard switch and other times they come on all by themselves.I'm not a big fan of day-time running lights!But besides those minor things,I love it just the same!

 

yeah well you were lucky enough to get a 1 owner car--that can make a big difference.

 

soooooo true if i had a stang i could have it built up big time for 1/2 i got in my f body

 

i cannot stand how the cops have nothing better to do then pick on everyone with a sportscar!
getting back to topic,i hate the undercoating that is under the hood.takes away from the car i think.

 

undercoating?

 

Under****ingpowered.

I hate how thirdgens have such a ****ty image of being slow.

Need more mods...

 

You can thank GM for that. LG4 and LO3 IROCs, Formulas are a joke. Even 305 TPI automatics (190hp ratings)
are slow. How they could take their top of the line Camaro--the IROC and put a 170hp TBI in it is beyond me--thats bad marketing.

Ford had it right--all LX V8's and GT's had one engine--one (high) 225hp rating.

GTAs, Trans Am, Formulas and IROCs shoulda been all 350TPI or 305 TPI 5spds.

Oh and the Camaro RS should ave been availbel with TPI (in a non B4C car)

 

Yup,it would'nt have killed GM to add a little more hp to our f-bods.350 TPI's as standard equipment should have been implemented.

have I mentioned, I really hate the rattles in these things?

 

You hear rattles? GET OUT!!

 

Too funny

 

My car used to rattle but i changed out the whole interior (went for orange to grey) and i have no more rattles .. i dont even have sfc's. My car is nice and quiet on the interior

 

I would have to say the lack of cup holders bothers me...The LG4 is lame...the 85 mph/140 kph dual needle is lame too...thats about it

 

what does "changing out the interior" involve??

 

I hate when people say, "hey hows the t-bird?" or "You still got the T-bird" and i say, "no i dont still have the t-bird, i got the firebird though. " Then people that say "your trans am is gay/stupid" Me: " Well its a formula, but thanks anyway"

I really hate the T-bird thing.

 

I'll second that one.

The only one I forgive is when people mix up IROC-Z and Z28, because unless you're into these cars and you have memorized which years had Z-28's, and which years had IROC's, you can expect the average joe to know the differnce.

Calling one an IROC-Z28 is just annoying still.

If people don't know the difference, they should just call it "camaro", or "firebird". Anyway you slice it, that's at least technically correct.

 

Rattles, choking out TPI, MASS AIR HOE SENSOR, trunk hatch motor (that thing sux0r), snow handling (lack there of), TH700r4 durability, and inaccesibilty of to the 7 and 8 cylinder spark plugs!!!!!!!!!!!

But the looks, handling, 14 second mustang killing 1/4 performance bone stock, t-tops, low ride, and the fact that with just about 7 grand invested into go-fast parts can dominate any new car on the street is what makes me stick with my car and buy another one if I had to!

 

you know what, i'll correct my pet peeves. i got two
1- service engine soon light
2- no cupholders


but i gotta agree with zerotosixtyV8, gotta love eatin stangs and sh!tin on imports. 0-40in 1st and 45-90 in 2nd, find me any other car that car do that for the price, and do it over and over runnin mid-upper 14's with out a problem, that leaves two solid black tires marks on concrete u out n-droppin her. or gets nuttin but traction and good handling w/o the weedwacker sound or the sound of the choking ride.

 

RUNS HOT IN THE SUMMER!!!!!!
Makes me mad! when you have to roll down the windows with you girlfriend in the car because you car is getting hot with the A/C.

 

wyclefsirocz , your car goes90 in 2nd gear...all i have is wow...and HOW?? mine might go 55 in 2nd it goes like 35 in 1st

 

I hate the cops that look at the car, and get jelous so they pull you over just to bug you. also to get a closer look at the car!

 

haha I got pulled over once for just that reason. I revved at an LT1 at a stop light then proceeded to drive the speed limit and the cop flashed his lights and pulled me over. He was like "I know you got a sweet looking car but don't rev your engine at stop lights when I'm nearby" then he asked me what year mine was and if I had anything done to it. He told me he had a red 91 Z, the only time I actually didn't mind gettin hassled by the fuzz lol.

 

It's alright if your not in a rush or running late.

 

Thats why I love my custom fan setup I can make the fan come on at any tempature I want, no more overheating unless I some how loose all water in the radiator.

 

I've never had ground clearance problems. Theres a couple places around town that you wouldn't want to take your third gen but other than that it's fine. And Dallas is pot hole hell.

 

you know, Im getting pi$$ed seeing these post on here. its just like the other one" what do you not like about your 3rd gen". IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN SELL IT. stop crying about what you dont like.

 

Maybe you shouldn't have clicked on this thread then.

Holy cow!! Call the netcops!! We've discovered the first EVER repetetive bullettin board thread!!

Nobody said anthing about not liking their thirdgen. They're talking about things they don't like about it. Don't get all defensive like someone's trash talking your momma, cuz that's not what this is.

I love my thirdgen. I don't like the way it rattles.
I love my wife. I don't like the way she nags sometimes.
I love my kids. I don't like the smell of their diapers.

get the idea yet?

stop cryin about threads you don't like, and just don't click them. The rest of us were enjoying the conversation. Now go away

 

suck my A$$

 

wow, u huys are getting mad about someone not liking the downside of their 3rd gen. thats pretty damn dumb and pitaful if u ask me. u got 3 choices
1- u don't wanna see what people don't like- don't click
2-u wanna se if people don't lie the same things about you -click
3-you wanna say what u don't like -click and type.
its that simple

runs and ducks for cover:lala:

 

 

YEh the worst has to be the rattles and squeeks i replaced my whole dash to stop the squeeking seemed to work tho. Another thing is the heavy doors. But more than anything i hate since i got my paint job is i hate how the tires stick out and every peble i run over hits the quarters. I wont even go on a road full of pot holes. It also it to rough after the hotchkis springs.
