It seems to me like 3rdgen firebirds are higher than camaros stock. Does anyone have any stock measurements of the two? I guess you would have to measure from the ground to the top of the fender lip.
thanks

I went searching on the magazine articles here, and found out this:

1991 Z/28 - 305/700R4 - 3,400 lbs.

1991 Trans Am 350/700R4 - 3,343 lbs.

I think the heights are pretty close if you compare a like body styled car.. i.e T/A compared to a Z28, etc...

I think that the GFX on z28/IROC run parallel to the ground, while the T/A GFX are higher at the nose. Also on the Pontiacs, the top of the hood is lower, due to the more severe profile of the fender.
Don't have any measurements, just eyeballing some cars in the parking lot.
