85-90 because earlier the rear is too boxy and I don't like the round nose on 91-92 trans ams

Make a poll for this, and 91-92 Camaro GFX, that's why I bought a whole set for my '83 camaro.

Re: Favorite Style? 82-84, 85-90, 91-92
82-84 is my favorite, but for no other reason than the first thirdgen I remember was my dads 82 Firebird, plus I grew up watching Knightrider. I have a set of bumpers off my old 83 Trans Am that will be going on my 91'; I do like the Banshee nose, but mine had an 88' nose when I got it anyway.

I love the 91-92 Camaro style. I was dead set on getting myself a 91 RS, but I found my 86 Z28 on craigslist for $800, running ok and everything. Maybe one day....

Re: Favorite Style? 82-84, 85-90, 91-92
I prefer the 82-84 thirdgens myself.
Doesn't mean I dislike my 1989 RS however.
I think the somewhat more angled early Camaro nosecone and the two bar rear lights make it look closer related to the musclecar era then to the 90´s. I also must say that I do like the look of the SC´s better then the Z28´s, but wouldn´t mind owning either of the two.
Once I have my 305 TBi engine the way I like it, I might actually look for an early third gen Camaro one day.

I'm a big sportcoupe fan, but it really depends on the rest of the car's theme...

Re: Favorite Style? 82-84, 85-90, 91-92
I prefer the looks of the 82-84 but the 85-90 ground effects are better. 91-92 front bumper is oddly styled. Minor changes and it would have been ok. hate the rear ground effects. OOPS I bought a 91 but am changing it to a 85-90 style w/ 82-4 T/A tails. Most all parts were part of the sale. Found T/A fenders in Dallas for $10 each.

82-84 for the 'Birds because I like the leaner, non-ground effect body with the spoilers before the wheel wells and 91-92 Camaros with the "pocketed" ground effects.

Re: Favorite Style? 82-84, 85-90, 91-92
82-84 style of course! It's the original look GM intended. All the years after had to be changed in order for the cars to be "new" models for sales. 
Oddly enough, I also like '67-68's and 70-71's....don't care a whole lot about any of the 4th gens except maybe the T/A's.....
