ThirdGens on the family tree

Futile thread of course but I was curious about everyone's opinion where the third-generation exist on the camaro family tree. Just something I mulled over yesterday night laying in the dark before I fell asleep.

I was thinking:

1st gen - Grandfather
2nd gen - Father
3rd gen - Son
4th gen - Baby brother
5th gen - Uncle (grandpa had a son at an old age)


..vice versa for 'birds I'm assuming, except for the obvious exclusion.

1st gen - $$$$$
2nd gen - $$$$ - $$$
3rd gen - $
4th gen - $$ - $$$
5th gen - $$$$$

Re: ThirdGens on the family tree

..i cant make the connection between the 4th and 5th other than it being it's successor, IF you even want to consider it that..

Re: ThirdGens on the family tree

For fun I'd put it like

Gen I- Grandfather
Gen II- Father
Gen III- Stepson (for now. Someone had to say it. The model shape is reason why)
Gen IV- Grandfather's illigitimate son ( I mean it nicely. I think of it as the performance genes passed on, but body style makes take a diffrnt lineage path)
Gen V- Petri dish successful laboratory experiment using Grandfather's DNA and splicing it with some hot engineering girl genius DNA from MIT. So new son froom the old man

darn, I gotta get a life

I don't see what this has to do with history or restoration. Sorry guys.
