Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
Converted me too, I will buy one for my next driver if my VW gives me too much grief. Customer brought a new ST into the shop last month for a custom 3" exhaust. Really woke it up, but pretty loud. I got to drive it around a little, really good seats and ergonomics, nice manual shifter.
The TransAm is a super blast on the same on-ramp though, specially with Nitto NT05 17x9 rubber. Many times I've not pushed it for fear of starving the engine of oil.

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
I wish my mom had not sold her '69 Chevelle way back when. It was just the base model with the 307, but it was still a damn cool car.
Nice '71 mw66nova, I will always have respect for the Chevelles lol.

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
Bumping this up because I just got a brand new daily driver. I traded in my 2007 Cobalt SS today on a 2013 Sierra SLE with the chrome package, 5.3 / 6spd auto, bluetooth, onstar, homelink, manual shift mode, tow package, all the goodies except for 4WD.

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
Yeah Cognito lift kits. Very high quality lift kit for GM trucks only. Mine rode like a freaking Cadillac at 9" of lift. Most of the lifted GM guys not from California drool over the Cognito stuff. Might wanna check out GMfullsize.com
Thanks I LOVED that truck, it was MEAN. Sold it two years ago and think about it everyday. Its pretty tough trying to have multiple vehicles in different genres of custom, and then support a family too... at least when your not rich. Focusing on Camaros again

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
My wife's '11 red Wrangler (soft-top,stick) is the exact same color as my '87 Camaro.
They look pretty sweet snuggled up in the driveway.

Sweet I'll check out the site. I have been on fullsizechevy.com for a few years but that place seems to be really slow lately.

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
I don't know how much horsepower she's pushing but she accelerates quicker than the Iron Duke camaro I had back in the early 90s. I never wanted another Cheverolet after owning that car. I have no memories of that thing, can't even remember the year. Oh wait a minute I remember something it was white and the slowest car I've ever been in.

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
How was your Cobalt SS? I always loved the way those cars looked but was disappointed that GM chose a 4 banger for the engine. They didn't even give the SS a V6 option.

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
It was a really fun little car. Plenty quick enough for a daily driver, I just missed the utility of a truck and so I got rid of it. It handled extremely well too.

This is same color scheme and all as my truck, except I opted not to have the Ram box.

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
lets bump this. my one camaro got scrapped and the truck snapped in half so bump for new vehicles.
both together
and seperate
93 Yukon 6in lift, 350 tbi 362hp 410tq locked rear 3.73s 34's, custom interior, custom headlight wiring harness, dual batteries, all led, Hid etc, needs bodywork lo, 4l60e trans stalled, servos shift kit, Dodge tow mirrors, Put my old thirdgen seats in it, single din DVD player, cheap subs, i can pull 13 mpg city and about 17 highway with her
86Z28
when i bought it it looked like this
has a 350 t5 combo was gonna pick up a built 5.3 but passed on it. have a BOP 400 trans for it, doing custom perforated interior with chrome trim guages or aftermarket autogages because they are cheap. put the old rear louvers on, looking for some XXRs and just bought a panhard, vogtlands, electric fans, 4th gen fluid reservoirs, battery relocation and lots of other goodies. ill be shaving the wiper cowl in favor of some gmt800 truck nozzles on the wipers, dual comp temop mirror and lots more.

Well, I needed something reliable, so anything domestic was out. We have a genesis, an equus, and an ls430. They all compliment the Camaro just fine.

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
Yea quite a few people on G8boards.com have done the manual trans swap. This one is my wife's and she isn't comfortable driving a stick, although she drove my Cobalt SS a few times. So we won't be changing it. It sits at 32,000 miles right now.
