Subgen Third gens
I am familiar with Firebirds, but camaros elude me a little.
What i am looking for is for the Camaro and Firebird there were several variations for bodystyles from 82-92, what were the year breakdows for each. There are minor changes from year to year, but these are the major Third gen changes....
Here is what I think is right for firebirds:
GTA's
87-90
91-92
Trans AM's:
82-83
84
85-90
91-92
Formula's
87-90
91-92
Firebird SE's
82-84
85-86
Firebird's
82-84
85-90
91-92
I really do not know the Camaro breakdowns.. Any help would be WONDERFUL
thanks...

Well, they basically didn't have any drastic changes, but in 88, the following changes occurred:
Different wheels.

91-92
IROC-Z28:
85-87
88-90

89-90
91-92
SC:
82-87
88
Berlinetta:
82-85
F41:

I think were getting too specific...
What I am looking for is if you see a car speeding past you at 70 mph, can you tell me what would be different.
I am trying to get a colage together for each of the different cars, and without taking every model from every year, I want generalizations. For example I KNOW the formula wheels changed in 88 from 87, but for all intents and purposes, the Formula looks pretty much the same from 87-90...
I guess I could add the 91-92 Firehawk to my list, but except for the wheels and the lack of decals, you could not tell one of those from a normal Formula...
Do you see where I am going with this?
