Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
For a car, I really like a fox notchback and a third gen together. Same era, very different design cues.
And any real truck, both doing what they were built and meant to do.

My buddy's '86 Mustang GT and my '84 Trans Am.
It's weird, we've been good friends since we were 3 and we both ended up happening into 80's sports cars... mine was my dad's old car he had stopped driving and stored and his was a project his dad picked up and got bored with. We raced them once and even then I was just a little behind him... my car had an exhaust leak then. Now I'd imagine they're probably neck and neck. His car's a 5.0/t5/8.8 rear with mystery gears... I think it has a bit of blowby or he'd have destroyed my car.

Finally got a chance to snap some pics of the rides wearing the new sneakers. A little cloudy but at least not raining today...

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
Here's a pic of my T/A and my '09 Charger R/T just after we bought the Charger.
The Charger looks a little bit different now with some vinyl graphics, OEM spoiler, Eibach Pro-Kit and some meatier tires.

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
They're OEM, but they'll soon become my winter set, since the Charger is my DD. I'm thinking a set of Viper replicas, but they're becoming really popular and lots of people are using them now.
Other wise I might just pick up a set of used SRT-8 wheels.

4fishlimit- the new challengers i see have what look like torq thrusts twos on them, or at least something close to that. are those dealer order/optioned or something, if so why not see what those look like on a charger

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
Yeah, Mopar offers them as a Heritage Wheel option. I've never been a huge Torq Thrust fan, and while many other Charger owners have them, it's just not my cup of tea.

85- is that chevelle a project or is it just sittin around for now?
Both! I installed Everything from a 350 Formula into the Chevelle (motor, trans, Wiring, Dashboard, Steering box)), then I got a job offer here in TX and moved. I only need to install the fuel system to be able to run it.

that z34 honestly is the sickest one ive ever seen, and probably the only i ever wanted to drive.
shostopper your car looks a little out of place with those stangs, which car is fastest out of the three?

Re: best non fbody that compliments your thirdgen
Quite possible, they only made the aerocoupe version in 86 and 87. the 86 models are all identical and only 200 of those. the 87s were all different options and colors, still not many just 6052 of those made.
