IROC#1

Since the 3rd gen is such an addiction for alot of us I was just wondering how many 3rd gen's (camaro or firebird) each of us has owned. Personally Im on my 2nd (1988 and a 1989--both 5.7 litre IROCS).

Here is my 1988 IROC


No rust and straight....All original paint. Im keeping this one!

StevenB L98/LS1

On my third

1st car 88 iroc- drunk drive smashed the car
2nd car 89 formula- motor blew
3rd car 91 trans am that i own right now

Al Hasse

I have two. First was the daily driver with the 3.1L V6, a 92 RS. Then I decided to get something to work on, an 89 RS with the 305TBI, and have mostly done just suspension work to it.

BadBowtie88

1. 1988 t-top 5.7 IROC
2. 1989 hardtop 5.7 IROC
3. If all goes well when I get back from the desert, it will be a 1992 RS, far from factory...

I agree, these cars are very addictive. I'm not sure what it is exactly about them, but they just have a way with people, lol.

#2....86 IROC 350/T5 - pure autocross
#3....1984 Z28 L69/TH350 - parts car (a kid wrecked it, 1700 mile crate engine)
#4....1990 RS 305 TBI/T5 (wife's race car) - Street legal Autocross, not road driven TOO much
#5....1987 Trans Am GTA L98/TH700R4 205,000 miles, never burns ANY oil, still roasts its 315s!

i'm on my second. the first was a blue 85 camaro, it killed a few transmissions and then popped a head gasket and i was tired of dealing with it for the moment so i sold it. very stupid move on my part. now i bought my second a white 84 camaro, it killed a head gasket and i used the down time to do a cam swap. proof that with age comes wisdom.

306...and counting!!!

However, I guess my situation is a little different than most people as the majority of them have been parts cars.

Right now I have nine personal thirdgens including my first car ('82 Firebird) that I've owned since 12/11/89.

Had an 87 IROC, it was totaled by a Lincoln Nav. 2 wks after paint!
Then i bought my 91 Z28, It was gutted, and the transformation began!
5yrs later it has another motor, trans, rearend, suspension, brakes, interior, etc..
I like the style of these cars, also I LOVE the way they handle at SPEED!
I am grateful for this site, and all the members who have helped me out along the way! You guys rock!

I just bought my first a few weeks ago. 1986 Trans Am. I always loved the look of these cars

BigBadGTA

1, My 88 GTA L98. Got it with 77,000 Miles, it now has 82,300. Got it in late August 08, when I was 16 a week before I got my license. Drove it all the way across the country to Las Vegas, and had a damn good time doing it. Mostly it's my play car because I don't take it to school, I just take it to friends houses, dates, and just for rides. I love this car so much.

Bought first one 87 GTA for my wife. I was storing it for a friend and she liked the way it looked even though it was wrecked. It came with an 89 formula 350 for a parts car. I stripped it and scrapped it. (rusty)
Then I bought a rolling chassis from a member here. Then a 91 car as a parts car for that my current daily driver project. Stripped that one and scrapped that one too.

I guess 4 but, I took two off the road to save two more so I guess I'm even.

I think they are addictive, I am a first gen firebird guy since the eighties but like how affordable and available the thirds are. ( my 69 will always be my favorite cars though)
I can buy whole cars for what some parts for my 69 cost!

First was a 84 Berlineta Blew it up and had no place to work on it.

Second I think was a 87. GTA That had the 5 speed and 355 TPI. Bought at the dealer that rebuilt the motor and the clutch went out in 3 weeks (ha ha not my fault). Turned it back in the the dealership due to frustration from the clutch and breaking down 2 other times. Still have somewhat of a anger problem but dam I miss that car.

Third was a 87 rs with a 5 speed and v-6. It ran ran real good for a v-6. I could easily mash 130mph out of it. Got in lots of trouble in this one and eventually totaled it. Threw a 6' chain link fence and bounced off 2 trees in some guys yard. Still a stupid Kid.

Fourth is a 89 tbi RS. Love the way it carves the corners but dam its slow. Traded a low mile 1990 zx-10 Ninja for it. Wish I had my bike back. Mush older but still stupid
