Hi all! I don't know if it's the best place for this kind of thread, but I try it.

The goal of this thread: Have the most of pictures of thirdgen road race car !!

Please post your pics, or pics that you found on web and if you have information about modifications on these cars, write them!

Tanks all! It will be the place to see what could be a new Thirdgen on road race !!

this should be good

 

here's three in a row (looks like SCCA AS racing)

 

They just broadcast the 2008 SCCA - American Sedan run-offs on Speed Channel this week. There were some really sick 3rd gen race cars. There was a 91-92 Firehawk (lookalike?) #09 driven by Shawn Gray, and a bunch of late 80's early 90's Camaros. I've been scouring the interwebs looking for info on these race cars, but I can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated!

 

Really nice pic ! They appear really great race cars!! I'm supprised by the fact that these car are not really lower than the stock Camaro... Is-it a proof that it's not really necessary lower spring !! maybe!

Continue to post pic like that, and if you have pic that shows underhood race camaro, that will be great!

 

Just guessing, but judging from the windshield decal on those cars, I'd say they are from the NASA Camaro-Mustang Challenge series.

ah lol, didn't see that :P

 

No worries! The pic you posted, along with a bunch of other sick 3rd gen road racecar pics are on that site.

 

ok, there's not any 3rd gens, but it's still awesome!

 

aah, laguna seca.
i would love to drive that track

 

I couldn't agree more! I'd give anything, lol.

 

You don't need to give anything. You can rent out the track.

 

Total annihilation....

 

that doesnt even look like a third gen at first sight.
looks kinda like an older m3 crossed with an f-40 and an IROC hood

 

^ .... definitely a third gen. Here's a fellow Trans Am;

 

maybe TGO members(thirdgen.org) should some how set up a member day at a track like that in each area!! Harder than it sounds i know but when the bird is finished i would love to meet and race on any legendary track like that!!!



Pls Exuse any poor spelling!!

 

Wow! more cool pics ! good!

If you know a member with a project for him car that the goal is Road race, advise him for to have pics here !!

 

Great idea, but when it comes to racing, I think that 99% of TGO members lack the driving skills to do anything but point their car straight ahead for 15 seconds or less.

 

I would have to disagree with that^^

 

I know... I disagree with it too... it's a sarcastic remark. You have to admit, though, that the members demographic on this site is heavily weighted towards drag racing as opposed to road racing.

 

i would have to say most of the members are drag racers! and my plan is to build the car for street, drag and road course use!!

 

Éh, please. Less word and more PICS !! :P

That is ineresting, imho.. the car is far more suitted for road racing that drag racing. That's based on the cars cornering agility vs the way it tips the scales at 3600 lbs.

I know when I buy used parts I aviod road racers stuff, just because the life is ran out of it ie rod,cranks,pistons ect,ect. So I wonder if drag racing is just a less expensive way of having some fun?

Maybe it is marketing and kownledge of the 2 sports. I think most poeple would want to know what they can do in the 1/4 or 1/8 over what G they pull in the corner.

I love both but have only drag raced. I have been to willow springs but never raced there. I was invited to a private track event I think is march 12 or 13th.....2 cents

 

and really, our cars (3rd gens at least) were designed more as a sports car than a Muscle car. GM really did quite a good job on the suspension setup, they ride nice, and still handle quite well

Try the above. This was from our NASA SE race last weekend. Black Camaro is mine.

 

This one has been posted a few times.

 

Posted few times, but always appreciated!

 

Does Autocross count???

 

Of course it counts.




Memphis Motorsports Park.

Gingerman Raceway, South Haven, MI - Hurtin' the BMWs


Scanned photo at Gingerman on the brakes at the end of the straight before turn 2.

 

That's perfect pic from autocross ! The goal it's to see all possible ThirdGen in action and these Thirdgen with more detail (mecahnics, body, suspension...) And the best, pictures from ThirdGen.org Car's member !!

 

The only picture I have of when I went autocrossing.

 

Here are a few around here.

WOW ! I love those ones!!!! Do you think that this big spoiler do a real difference?

 

Yes they work, but have since been removed from the rules for CMC. Now my car (blue) has the stock spoiler on it.

 

Since autocross pics are welcome here...

My car was bone stock when all these photos were taken. I have yet to race with any of the changes I made. It will be an interesting season this year considering I almost took the win in my class last year...

 

Really nice project! It's crazy. In 2 or 3 years, your car will be a real bad *** for race!

 

Nice Camaro, you should come up to Road America for the NASA event on the 25th and 26th.

Here's mine.

More pics of my car.

Here's some pics of various other third gen racecars I've 'collected' (mostly not drag).

Nice!

 

SICK !!

Any pics from interieur? under hood? under car?

Wow! really nice car!!

 

dang!!!!!!!!!!!!! that camaro is very nice. Dude that makes me want to build my other camaro into a race car. Does that ranger have problem towing the camaro? That car is exactly what i was looking for.

 

Thanks. There's more pics in the link right below that picture.

The motor will be a dissappointment to those that don't know the CMC ruleset. Stock 305 TPI, 180k+ miles. My talent is still playing catchup. Once there I'll get it rebuilt.

It's my first build and I learned a few things here and there that I'ld do differently, like NASCAR bars simply for ease of egress.

Bought the Ranger new in '01. At the time didn't think I'ld be needing it to haul a racecar around. Knocker, the camaro, was street legal when it came into the picture. Last two years, the Ranger just barely and no more pulled the trailer/car. Trailer is only a 16' open deck steel with weight dist hitch. Truck is a 4.0L auto, max towing cap for that year. Flat lands were ok, hills had to kill the A/C. Last May I got a '01 2500HD. Big difference.

bryanwhite = roadracerwhite?

 

Im thinking about 305 carbed. Oh what size tires do you run when you race on the gta rims?

 

255/50R16 TOYO RA1's last year, TOYO R888's this year (Spec tires).

Our next race is April 18th weekend at Texas World Speedway in College Station. Saturady has an 8hr enduro after lunch (that I won't be participating in) and 2 CMC races on Sunday.

 

what is this?!!!!!!!!!??!!!!!!!!!?!?!@?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?




thats awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If you look at the first picture I posted of my car, you can see that I pulled a wheel. It is hard to see because of the cone on the other side of the tire preventing light from going under, but it's off the ground.

 

does anyone know anything about that car?like those wheels!!!! so wide!!!!!!

 

bryanwhite Do you run at putnam county in IN.I think I may have seen some of those cars.I am pretty sure I have seen the yellow one there.

 

I have to say the birds look good with the big wings!!

 

Yes we do, we will be there again May 16-17.
