Got another camaro today :)
well I say red cuz I saw some red on the car but it may have been repainted. I'm thinking about the nbm cuz I'm in love with that color.
But at the end of the day its still a turd gen pace car, which I don't think there is a huge calling for, could be wrong though. But with it painted original and keep a full exhaust system on it you could built the engine up pretty nice and make it a little street hustler.

Really? Maybe its just me but I don't see buying a third gen for anything other than a drag car of some sort, weather rare or not. They don't make a good daily, they don't draw crowds at a car show, people look at them and think red neck mobile, no matter the model or color. But like I said, it might just be me, and it wouldn't take much to make that thing a good street runner, would get it running 11's on motor and throw some spray in it and you could have a good little sleeper.

I have to agree with that. If you have a little bit of money, make that thing a beast. Either a drag car or some kind of street machine. People will say "look at that turd gen... lets race." and you can smash them. If I remember right, those cars were pretty light. Some suspension and performance, and you could have a real killer on your hands.
PLease no louvers...doesnt get more redneck than a third gen with louvers. TT2s look great but the offset is different I think.
I have always thought third gens are sweet. They are about 200 lbs lighter than an LS1 camaro too and have a full cast iron motor, if you put an LS1 in there its got to be around 3000lbs.Id like to pick up a nice black IROC again...

To tell you the truth, I am not sure because I have never looked for parts for a third gen or know what it takes to make them beefy. But first I would start with the suspension. I would call Sam Strano and get an idea from him what you really want. I am thinking something like $1500 for the suspension to start with.
