If its a 'vert, I'm pretty much a sucker for it. Newer is better, so 90-92 is my preference. But I like the dashes from the earlier models better (late 80's) because that yellow really sucks. I'm more a camaro guy for exterior looks, but prefer the 'bird interiors. **sigh** If I have to pick, a 91 z-28 convertible.

definately a 1987 IROC, red with black.. (like i got)

the wheels on the 90-92 cars were definately pretty ugly and thick looking

also a Turbo Trans Am and the 1987 GTA's were cool with the digital dash and stuff.

1989 Iroc-z w/ T top, any color

would take any (or all) of those

1989 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Am Indy Pace Car Replicars are autos only.
They did build a manual version for a High Speed shootout for a magazine though. The thing flat out flew!

88-90 IROC i love the double lined wheels and the look. z28's are to common in all years for me to pick one and the 91-92 wing just doesnt do it for me much rather have the race looking spoiler.

92 was the all around best of course, you could get cars like a
1.Firehawk
2.Formula 350 with T-tops
3.GTA(rarest year)
4.Trans Am convertible
5.Z28 Heritage convertible
those cars had the most power for their specific engine,were the most refined and improved, and looked the best IMO, although an 89 Turbo T/A and 90 IROC 5.0/5spd vert. and 5.7 coupe, are up there as well.

92 any style any color! preferable Amacks car or a herataige just like it with the white with red stripes. Of course the black with red stripes rocks too. They say 92 is the most sought after year for the thirgen camaros and the most likely to appreciate. Too bad i dont have a heritage ive been watching them go for higher and higher on ebay everyday.

dream car is a 92 with a ls2 twin turbo and t56 with stock exterior with stripes.

92's as well as late 91's, came with slightly stiffer chassis, if I had known that before I would have maybe tried getting a 92 *lol* but I'm happy with my '91 RS
