3rd gen full frame?

i was tellin my buddy....who is not a 3rd gen camaro lover...like myself that camaros dont have a full frame...cuz i think the frame ends right before the back of the front wheels. is that right? i mean thats how i figure that camaros ride so rough and are lighter. he tried to show me that his chevy truck frame is the same as mine and that i have a full frame...but i dont think i do....cuz the body of the camaro is also part of the frame...if you open your doors and roll over a speed bump you can tell. plz tell me if i am right or wrong thank you.

All 3rd gen cars are UNI-BODY construction Not full frames.

If you can find a pic of subframe connectors installed, you'll see they bridge the front subframe to the rear subframe. Rear subframe starts underneath the rear seats; it's what the rear lower control arms connect to. I hope you guys bet money or food or beer on the answer, because he owes you!

just have him look under your car, point out the front subfram, and the rear subfram, and ask him to show you where the frame railes are under the drivers seat
