Well maybe its because that ugly 4th gen is making your car look bad, its like hanging out with a fat ugly chick, doesnt make you look any better.

Seriously though, The 3rd gen looks pretty nice, though im not a big fan of brown.

Would have been more impressive if it was only those two cars in the picture instead of seeing a partial parking lot with other cars.

Figured I would give you some piece of mind that someone actually has something to say about the picture
----------
oh yeah, I meant to ask, how did you manage the true duals without scraping them off while driving normally?

I would love to do true duals, friday im getting my y-pipe modified and if I can tell them a working solution for duals on my car they will do it, but they said my car sits way too low for duals.

Seriously, you need to take more pics if that's your fav. I can see the detail on the tree better than the car. Loose the 4th gen, go find a park and fill the frame with just the thirdgen! From what I can tell though, nice car.

1984 Chevrolet Camaro - brad's Chevrolet "mighty mouse"

there is a link to the page with my exhaust

the 4th gen is just my collage beater

i don't take a lot of pics i have less than 20 total exterior pics

the funny thing is most of my friends hate my third gen but i love it more than my 4th gen. funny story the one that hated it the most bought a third gen a year later. now he only makes fun of it for being brown.

Im sorry I just really hate 4th gens, I think they had to make them that ugly so the corvette looked better. I just hate everything about 4th gens except for there engines. A chevy v8 is a chevy v8.

Yes, GM invested millions in design, development, and tooling to build a car nobody would want to buy just so the Corvette could look good.

, but back to topic, the reason your getting the replies you are is for a couple reasons. First is that your wanting to show off your car...and theres nothing special i see about it. If you hads mods or even a really clean one you that would be worth showing. You say there your favorites, but you dont even bother to take a pictue in a good location...come on. Did you even wash the cars before you took the pic? Wash your car, go to a park, git rid of the 4th gen, give more detail, then post a new thread. I bet people start telling you it looks good, or ok....

there have been a lot worse looking cars posted on here and nobody ragged on them like you guys are. I love third gen and fourth gens and any gen of camaro for that matter. given i think it is hard to beat the looks of a third gen but they are still awesome. I think both cars are awesome. some better pics would be sweet though. keep up the good work.

No one is ragging him...were giving harsh advice. Look through were peole have threads like my favorite pic, my camaro.....All are show cars or in great condition. If there not most people say recently bought and heres my future mods, or whats should i do next....you get the point. This guy wants opinions hint hint compliments. All thirdgens look great imo, but when you want all these great things said without any effort, you are going to get flamed. everbody is ragging on his effort, not his car.

to all those who say sell the 4th gen i am a 20 year old collage student who has to drive 40 miles one way to school. the l36 in the 4th gen gets anywhere from 28-31 mpg and the 3ed gen gets 14-16 mpg. also i want to keep the miles, rook chips, and ungrateful collage kids off of it.

when i took the pick booth cars where washed waxed and buffed, but my 1 mega-pixel camera doesn't show it well. i would buy a 5 or a 7 but i am too close to getting a big block or a 4" cowl hood to wast the money on such things. being in the tax class the the government doesn't pay for every thing and yet you have no extra money to go out and splurge sucks.
