Original Tests & Magazine Articles Of Thirdgens (Dial Up People Beware!)
To the moderators or anyone else who is concerned, I received prior permission from IROCZTWENTYGR8 to post this. I was also asked to put them all in one thread, so I apologize to all of the "dial up" people (this includes me). Should TGO ever want higher res copies to put in their media section I will be more than happy to provide them. Thank you, IROCZTWENTYGR8, for allowing me to provide these for other members.
These are copies of articles from magazines I collected when I was about to buy a thirdgen new in the late '80's. I have many others, too, that I haven't been able to find yet, but will continue to look for. If I find them, I will provide them, too, if it is okay with the TGO Admin.

Where did you get the Road & Track Performance Car mag from 91? I have the 91 issue (along with others) as well, but mine has a different front cover and article. I'm wondering if there were different editions for differenct regions.

irocnroll89, Thanks a lot. And thanks for "representing the USA" over in Okinawa.
Redarrow1, I cannot be sure where I purchased that issue, other than it would definitely have been Maryland or Virginia (probably Maryland). I wasn't originally going to include the covers of the magazines, I'm glad I did now. What was on your front cover?

I'll have to look through my collection and check. I remember the article contained a story about a Green GTA coupe. I think the Camaro in that issue was a 5.0 convertible. I think there was a group of four cars on the cover... I'm thinking 300ZX, Miata, Camaro and something else. I sure am pathetic that I can remember what was on the cover of a magizine I bought 14 years ago. By the way, I was living in Jersey at the time, so I would have bought mine in either Jersey or PA.

Cadillac,
Alot of these articles are available on the main page of TGO, you can read them there, matter of fact there are more...
Of course a day at the library searching through old mags will get you even more...
