list your favorite gen camaros

I saw on a 5th Gen site this posted and 3 gens didn't get higher then then 3rd.
This is my order from favorite to least
1
2
3
4
5 it looks to much like mustang's and challengers
but hate all v6s and 4 bangers in any gen and in my opinion nothing is as bad as mustang 11 in the early 70's it looked like a pinto and Nova /corolla ruined the Nova name.

Re: list your favorite gen camaros

Camaro:
3rd Gen - any year
1st Gen - any year
2nd Gen - 1970 thru 1974 (I prefer the flat rear window)
5th Gen - any year (lots of HP)
4th Gen - I just never warmed up to them. They look FAT.

Re: list your favorite gen camaros

I remember seeing a poll on here about their favorite "sub"-gen.
1. 91-92 Camaro
2. 70-73 Camaro
3. 82-84 Camaro
4. 98-02 Firebird
5. 1st gen

For gens, i'd say
3.
2.
1.
4.
5.

Its a 5th gen site, what do you expect. Half of them have never owned a Camaro before. They haven't gotten to the good ones yet.
