My personal favorite of the second generation is from 1979-1981 those are the sweetest camaros cause of the plastic split bumper. Lets see all those owners of the 2nd generation

I had a '76 Camaro ( inline six, 3spd) that was the daily beater but I also used to own a '78 T/A that was the shiznit ! T-top , 400(6.6) ,factory 4spd manual, and the bright met. blue. I loved that car !

Second gen (1978-1981) and 4th gen are the best (ls1 4th gen), love the looks or real tight rear end, no over hang. Own 2 2nd gens and 1 4th gen. best years

i think wed all like to have the power of a 4th gen but there just isnt anything like the looks of a classic car 69 all the way....i think the 74-77 cars were the worst why would you put a truck bumper on a sports car

I love 1st, 2nd, and 4th gens. 3rd gens just never really did as much for me although I do like the IROC's. Here's my 2nd gen. It's a pretty solid car ( after much time and $$ ) I run consistant low low 12's with it and expect to squeak out an 11 before too long.

Geez can you imagine the potential of a twin turbo BBC OUCH ! Nice car you've got there. What brakes do you have on that ? I've got 12" brakes on the front of mine off of a '79 Olds Delta 98 and a disc brake rear from a '79 T/A on mine. Low buck for sure, but it works OK

I was going to purchase a rear brake kit but was told that once you convert from drums, but was told the pedal will always seem low. Is this true? How'd it work out for you?

Prelude , you don't just need the rear brakes but also a proportioning valve when converting from drum to disc. It's the part directly under the master cyl. An aftermarket adjustable valve is even better to have.

i LOVE first generation, but 4th generation is where its at

Its a Baer brake system, Currie and baer had a package that came w/ the 9" rear w/ ford brackets for the calipers. The fronts are 13" cross-drilled and slotted w/ the zinc coating. Backs 12". The rotors are 2 piece w/ the aluminum centers. They come blue so I paid extra to have them re anodized in red.
They are baer 2 piston calipers, and single in the back. For the 2nd gen it is a very big improvement over the stock. They are essentially the same as a 4th gen's calipers, so when I see people think there upgrading there 4th gen with them I feel bad they wasted the money when all they need is pads and rotors.
When upgrading my 02 SS I put the Baer Pro system witch is 13.5" front rotors, w/ the Baer/Alcon 4 piston calipers, and 12" r. w/ 2 piston in the back. The 02 does 1.1g's on the e-tech stopping.
