GeNeRaTiOn???

I own a 69' camaro which i completely finished rebuilding 2 years ago. I have driven it daily since then. I have always liked the 3rd gen body style. My 1st gen is aerodynamically limited to 160mph top speed and i know a 3rd gen can get up to at least 180mph. Should I sell my car and get a 92' camaro?

Just cruzin the boards.

As a daily driver, why would you want to get up past 160? Sounds more like a drag car to me.

I'll second that! Don't sell the 69! My dad's 69 Z made me fall in love with Camaros. I'd definatly keep it and just look around for the 92. If you do sell it I'm sure you'll regret it soon afterwards.

As much as I like the thirdgens, the '69 Camaro is the mack daddy of all the camaro body styles. Definitely keep the '69 and find you a reasonably priced thirdgen.
