Gotta ask... which ones faster? The Firebird or the 3rd gen?


I like the Firebird. 200hp is plenty to scoot around with. Enjoy it until it's time to buy the new 2009 Camaro.

Should find some Iroc-Z rims for the 3rd gen.

I had some good memories while growing up in a medium blue '88 5-speed Iroc.
