Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

Had a couple people say nice Z, I said its actually an RS, both times they replied with oh, the Z wheels fooled me or a response along those lines. There only stock 91-92 16" wheels, but for some reason people think they only came on the Z28s.

I've also been told many times that a V8 is rare for an RS, I just leave it alone and go on my way.

I've also gotten into an argument with a guy who had an IROC with a TPI and claimed it was an LT1. couldn't convince him different.

i get teh same hemi **** about my camaro lmfao, and my Z24! Iv also got a 1989 Z24 cavy with a bored 2.8 MPFI v6 with a cam in it a real loud exhaust (no cat single cherry bomb slits into duals so it has duals out the bumper since no cavy has dual exhaust)

haha sad part is my camaro is a 3.1 and i get the hemi thing asked,

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

My boss keeps asking me about my 4 speed that I had in it...it was a stock t-5 until I put in a t56. but mostly I get "man that thing is loud, whats under the hood". One time while sitting at a red light, this big dodge truck full of people pulled up next to me and the passanger asked me what rpms I idle at.

Correct me if I'm wrong or if you did a swap I thought a z24had a straight 4 hint z24 then there was a corsica? Z26 had a v6. Then the mighty z28 has an 8.

But I could be wrong about all of this

buzz, ur right and your wrong, pre 95 z24s wer v6s, i own one, 89 Z24 2.8L v6 bored and stroked and camed with a 5 speed, after 95 when they changed teh body style every cavalier was a 4 cylinder after that z24 or not, all wer 4 bangers, either a 2.0 2.2 2.3 or 2.4,

and yes z26s wer v6s also, same motor that came in the z24 either 2.8 or 3.1 depending on the year, the z34 was a DOHC 3.4 i think,

and dont down a lil 2.8 LOL, my lil 2.8 takes 305s =) well stock ones =)

"Is that yours?!"
"What engine does that have?"
"How much horsepower?"

That's probably my top 3...

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

Yeah, they don't understand power to weight ratio either......most people understand hp and don't even know that hp isn't acceleration, torque is...... hp is top speed, but try to explain that to them and they just won't get it till you show them...

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

Is it fast? Sounds fast, Is it going to stall , And I say fast enough for me and yes it sounds this way because it has true duall exhaust,and it is not stalling it has a bumpy cam. And I leave it at that and get going before they say what is a bumpy cam?...LOL

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

the ones i get the most is
-whats under the hood as its a 4 inch cowl..... i say usually 305 as its a 427 big block as a joke lol then i say the truth
-what year is it....89
-how fast is it..... faster than my buddys cars
-who did all the work..... as im 25 years old and a liscenced tech i did lol
-is it powerfull.... dunno haven tried it ( but if they look closer there is sometimes rubber in the quarter panels )
how good on gas is it.... allmost as cheap as my honda as it cost me 5 dollars more than my civic for 400kms lol
-the best one ive ever got was two highschool kids pulled up at a red light and said nice car wanna race as they were driving mommys corolla lmao

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

lol. this kid on my hockey team:

him: why dont you get a real camaro?
me: what are you talking about, it is real?
him: only 69 camaros are real.
me: *slap*

I also get " Why is the hood painted gray?"
.....cuz my uncle convinced me he could paint my car...

my ex gf asked "why's it so rusty"
that's not rust, the PO had it sitting in the sun or years and the original red is now turned brownish...
