black or purple, ls1 t/a ws6's look damn mean, the rest iv never really cared for but 67/68 birds and early 2nd gens t/a's do look pretty good to.

I'm with you...third gen is my favorite. It's what got me into camaros! There has been a third gen in almost every generation of my family! I love the profile from the side and look at the front. I actually love the hatch glass in the way that it gives a nice curve straight from the roof down to the rear hatch. Seeing people having third gen at the bottom of their list angers me because it's their opinion and I can't change that...but WHY!

I mean look at this photo...look how more modern the camaros look compared to other cars around then. Other 80's cars were boxes from what I've seen but the camaro is definitely NOT.

defintly, i know people have opinions but i bet a good chance of people why they put the 3rd gens down low is because they didnt have hi tech engine, for the time they did though.

I love every angle of the car, people complain about the hatch, i love it! it just wont look right without it. i also think iroc hoods are one of the best looking hood EVER, i love them.

iroc's/late z28's look newer and sportier then 90% of new cars, iv been asked countless times if my car is a lambo or ferrari. I love the looks of these cars from interior out (also you cant diss the look of tpi either!)

i bet that load of irocs was amazing to see on the road and if it was sunny, i bet it was BLINDING!

I agree I love the iroc/z28 hood. The only third gen's i don't like are the 82-85 sport coupe and berlinettas with those big slots in the bumper. What were they thinking with those? Was it for airflow to the engine?

agreed, the smaller slots make it better but the large slots are
actually as much as i have heard about those slots, im not sure if it was for airflow or not. i hate how everyone converts 80's thirdgens to 91/92 z28's, not that i dont like them but some people take really nice irocs and early z28's and do that and they look better stock.

3rd gens run the range from hot z28 and IROC's to the fugly base models without the ground effects they looked sad. With them they were hot. I think where people rank the 3rd gen depends on which one they remember. Much like the 2nd gen tends to get very different reactions depending on model year.
is a lot better than

I base my opinion purely on looks.

If power plant came into play I would probably have to put the 4th or 5th gen Camaro at number 1.

I think all third gen's look better stock. I HATE when people change out the gfx on 82-84 z28s for the 85-90 gfx. If I ever get a camaro i'm keeping, if not making it stock. A family friend has a camaro...stock except the spoiler.

i agree on sport coupe/lt/bert camaros dont look to well with no ground effects but i have seen a few that didnt look to bad, im sure some people like them more with no ground effects.

and to sax, its all good i just didnt know if you dont like them because of their powerplants

Good thing about 3rd gen is that it's easy to change out powerplants. Not like 4th gen. I would probably get pissed...smash the windshield...rip out the cowl and be a lil happier haha

and i guess you also mean the wheels to, do you have a better shot of the spoiler, not my style but would like to see a rear pic. im keeping mine pretty much stock looking, painted calipers, polished tips, and chrome frames are pretty much i think all im doing apperance wise for mods, i would love to have a purple 91/92 z28 with a ss hood, nice 5 spokes, and other minor stuff because im not to much a fan of the 91/92 z hoods and the ss hoods look good AT TIMES on a certain color and it would be functional (ls1 or ls3)
