To each their own. But when I get my 5th gen I want the whole car, not a body kit. and no way would I change my iconic IROC but as I said to each their own.

Re: wow check this out!!

hmm seeing how the 5th was a "redesign" of the 1st gen, i'd love to see the 6th and 7th gens if they follow the pattern.

and i also wonder if 7th gens will be "redesigns" of the 3rd, what some people will do to the actual 3rd gens

If Chevrolet is even still a car company when that time comes, I'm sure they'll just bastardize it the same way they did the 5th gen. I'm sorry, just 'cause its a Chevy and a "Camaro" doesn't mean I've got to drool over it. The 5th gens are too tall and boaty for my taste.

The 82-92 Fbody cars are the best looking ones ever... the fact that they don't get respect is just because the American public is dumb.

If I won the lottery tomorrow, the first thing I'd do is build my Z28 from the ground up; I just laugh when people tell me the first thing they'd do is buy a Ferrari or equiv.

i know what you mean, though some older guy on this board said how in the 70s first gens were a dime a dozen, nothing special. and now look at them, i'm sure the same will happen to 3rds.

now with 2nd gens, the 70-73 are being grabbed like crazy.

Re: wow check this out!!

Personally I am afraid I can not judge the modification work, which in itself is well executed (almost everything appears to align more or less in that picture) as a good car going to waste.

From the camaro´s I like the line of the third generation best. No camaro has a better looking rear and the front looks more then ok as well (even though I do want to swap my RS front grille for an IROC one).

I would even go as far as saying that I prefer the 3rd gen dash (up untill 89) over any of the dashboards in a camaro of a different year. (the firebird dashes somehow do seem more to my liking but they do not have the awesome looking rear).

If in the future a 7th gen will be released, following the current trends in automotive development it might indeed very well be a 3rd gen revival kind f design but it will run on batteries and the IROC will have energizer written on the doors.
