Any year or model from 82-92 Camaro or Firebird. I would have to go with a Red 87 IROC-Z, the year i was born, i love these beautiful cars and plan on owning an 87Z soon. Yours?

 

well pretty much any 86 up. But I'd have to say a 91-92z28 with the hi rise wing on the back with a 350 TPI. Any color really. But white with stripes is my favorite

 

I have to say a maroon 1987 Z28 IROC. I always wanted one and now I have it.

 

my choice would be the 1982 pace car edition, tied with the 87 yellow iroc z-28. both original and classic. as for the firebird, i would say a 1985 transam, red over silver with the bird and graphics. (i had one just like it and miss it.)

 

I'm partial to 89, and just not because I own one.... I like the classic interior of the 82-89, without being saddled by the 85MPH speedometer of the mid 80's. I like the fact that the 89's also have the full ground effects for even the base models, with 15" wheels. 88's are ok too, as long as they don't have the shorty spoiler.

I don't have anything against the exterior of the 91-92 models, other than I'm not wild about the stock wheels those years.

Being very tall, I also am not too happy with the position of the third brake light in the later years.

 

Guess I'm partial to 91/92 Camaro. I like the aero ground effects. The yellow lettering on dash I could do without - makes it a challenge to get nice window switches and such. I however am NOT fond of the third brake light - it's always in my field of vision in the rear view. Does that car have blue bubbles on top? Who would know, all I see is that third brake light! My 1990 had the spoiler third brake light - liked it alot better. Although for polishing I'd rather do a set of the 15in wheels or single line IROC wheels, I like the 16's (1in makes alot of difference in the look in the well).

 

For Camaro I Thnk a Nice Clean Early SC looks Great - No Ground Effects, No Rear Spolier, But must be a T-Top

Firebird - Have to go with a 82/83 Trans Am. Again like the No Ground Effect look, and My first Car was a Blk/Blk 83 T/A.

 

Personally I would say a red 1991 or 1992 Z28 with a 5.0 litre, 5 speed and T-Tops. To me you get a relatively tight body, top horsepower for the 5.0 litre and a manual transmission plus I love the aero ground effects and high rise spoiler...There were very few sold compared to the other years--will help resale! Overall just a great looking car!!

Second choice would be the 1987-1990 IROCS with 5.7 litre and T-Tops.

 

91-92 Camaro, RS body work. Prefer the ground effects of 91-92, but don't like the high rise Z28 spoiler or the flippers on the hood.

 

Well, I would have to say my favorite is the 87 IROC in red. One of which I've owned for 13 years. With the optimization work Ive performed, it is now just about my perfect car and Ill have it for the rest of my life. My second favorite would be somewhere between the 82 Trans Am in red with Cross Fire Injection(that was my first 3rd gen and I loved that car), and the 91 Trans Am(the first stock body car to break 300MPH).

 

My personal favorite is the one i own. It's not only a '87 red iroc, I'ts paid for.

 

My favorite would be the 1983 Z28 coupe with L69 engine and 5 speed manual transmission.

There are just a few minor optical details that make me choose the earlier Camaros over a later model years.

 

I have an 88 bird and put an 82 nose on it. The car looks soo much better with those vents, i put fog lights behind my vents, looks BAWLSY lol

 

Order of years for me.

#1. 91-92
#2. 82-84
#3. 85-90

Beyond that, doesn't really matter to me as long as the car looks stock to its year.

For firebird it goes like this:

#1. 85-90
#2. 82-84
#3. 91-92

 

1990. Old valences, new interior. Best of both worlds. Speed density and lowest production numbers ever, too.

 

So we doing firebirds on this thread too now?

 

88 or 89 IROC - White with black interior and t-tops.

 

well if i could have any year and model i would have a 1992 firebird Firehawk red with t tops and the full track options but i still prefer the 82-83 style front bumper i just think that bumper style looks sharp on them so i am kinda tore there

as for camaros i like a 85 iroc-z mainly because thats the first third gen i ever looked at and would have bought if it hadn't sold before i got back with the money

 

this. my car is this as well

 

1992 high rise Z with the 350tpi! and a GTA too the one with the L98 too (sorry not much firebird knowledge)

 

The 1988 to 1992 body style on the 350 IROC's. I also like the wing and body style on the 91-92 Z28 Camaro Z28's. I want one from the Z28.

 

Appearance wise, the 82-84 Sport Coupe. I also like the 84 Z28(305HO, 5spd, 3.73) So what am I doing with my own car? 84 z28 with sport coupe bumper and of course no gfx.

 

this thread is funny... to the untrained eye the 82-92 camaros were virtually unchanged, but it's funny how each of us can pick out the smallest styling cues and still come up with favorite years and models

it's also funny to me how dramatic the changes in the firebird line was year to year, but the camaros stayed more or less the same

 

91 Z28 Vert in Dark Red Metallic with Black Top

 

My favorite is the 85-87 Iroc, specifically the 1987... third brake light in the spoiler, best looking wheels and a 305TPI/5 speed and 350 TPI was available. In yellow or blue...

 

I like the 90 IROC, new interior design but the classic IROC look. Here's my preferred.

Choice 1- 90 IROC Convertible Electric Blue 5-speed.
Choice 2- 84 H.O. 5-speed Black with Gold stripes.
Choice 3- 87 IROC 350 hard top Black with Gold decals.

 

Immediately after I figure out a way to bend space and time, I'm gonna go back to 1989 and place an order for a Loaded 1990 IROC-Z, LB9/M5/G92 Hardtop, White-over-red interior.

You'll see.

 

the 85 irocs for sure pure sex, just wish i had a wc t-5....and a stronger rearend. i gotta have respect for all the thirdgens, firebirds included.

 

You'll make Doc Brown cry...

 

91-92 Z28/RS Clone made from an IROC. Like things from 91-92 style but I would have to have an IROC just because I like the sound of that name.

 

91-92 Z28 for the camaro's
and 91-92 Firebird formula for the firebird's
