Who got an F-Body as their first car?
#661
Haha let's just say im 17 and owned over four cars. ALL f-bodies. Started off with a 86 standerd camaro with a 305 tbi, sold that because it just wasn't powerful enough. Got a red iroc with a 350 with like I wanted sooooo bad and then got a 305 iroc without a title. Used all the best parts and made one b/a black iroc with a 350 tpi . Ended up tired of that power and went and brought a wrecked 99z28 with a ls1 for the powerplant in my iroc. Well.. we will see how long this lasts

1991 honda accord ex with a purple pearl paint for my first, then a 1997 camaro 3.8 V6 for my second, sold it and bought a 1994 z28, sold it and bought a 2005 SRT-4, lost to a 150 shot f body, sold it a week or two later, bought a 95 z28, wanted to do a swap so I got a 240sx and put the LT1 in it, bought a fox body and will be swapping my LQ4/4l80e in the near future. long post... Sorry

If I had a z28 as my first car with no traction control, I am almost 100% sure I wouldve wrecked it and killed myself or someone else. I am glad I started with a slow FWD car and slowly upgraded to quicker rwd cars. I had some close calls with my turbo Miata haha After getting some emergency driving training with the crown Vic, I am confident now but would never do anything like I did when I was 16 17.

I have owned five, all were trans am's. My first was a 79 10th anny. 403 olds. I baught when I was 16, and she was stolen. My second was a black and gold 80 trans am with a 455 olds. I baught when I was 17. I blew the motor in her, then sold. Third was a 77 trans am red with 400. Sold to friend. Fourth was another 79 403 olds greenish/blue custom color. Sold back to prev. owner. Now I have my 98 mecham clone, red LS1 M6. I wish I had kept them all, but owell.

My first car was a 1993 Trans am with 70,000 miles on it with the big 5.7 in it and I bought it when I was 18. That one is now long gone and 4 years later I now am on my 3rd car have a 6Speed 1995 Trans Am. Don't worry about the 2nd car is was kinda just a buffer haha

My first ride was a 1985 camaro V6 5spd @ 18 yrs old. I got broadsided in that, and bought my brothers 84 Z28 5spd. A few years later I bought my current car which is a '86 IROC-Z, 305 TPI. I have had it now for 17 years, 2nd owner 86k miles, and it is now under the knife for a LS1/T56 swap !

I got my 94 Camaro when i was 16. It was a 5spd v6 at first but, as soon as i had enough money i swapped it out for a a4/LS1 combo. I still drive the car today and have been modding it ever since. Still driving the wheels off of it and i'm almost 20 now.

I did. I was 15 when I got my 82 4 cylinder Camaro. That engine didn't last long, swapped a low horse 73 Chevelle 350 in it. Also had an 85 Iroc that I regret selling. I now have a 69 restoration project and a 2000 SS driver.
