  • Name the camaro you wished you would have kept.

    For me right now my 94 base coupe is mine. I am restoring an 80Z28 so that is my hot rod, Now I just wish I had a good one as a daily driver.
    My 94
    Black
    t-tops
    5-speed
    aluminum wheels
    Bose CD
    99 WS6 muffler
    I sold it a few years ago with over 113,000 miles on it averaged 20.9 MPG city only nearly perfect interior(not even a piece of fuzz on the carpet). It was stripped down and reliable. It left my hands for $2275. I bought my 98 in place of it, which I sold to my brother in law and it got totaled.

    None of them. Can't wait to start working full time so I can get something I want. It's been odd, everytime I've bought an f-body, I've always been looking for a Mustang...but due to impatience, I've always settled. Not saying these are horrible cars...I'm just not a fanatic for them or GM for that matter. They never have made me walk to them every day and be happy to drive it.

    First one

    1992 RS - ditched the L03 and swapped in a 350 H.O. crate motor from GMPP. Sold it march of this year to a deserving owner that carbed it and it runs great now. I had fun with it in high school, but I don't miss it one bit.

    Second one

    1994 3.4 V6 M5 - I'll have to admit, that 3.4 was the funest to drive and didn't give me any problems. Had about 130k HARD miles on it. Was a gas hog though and the t-tops leaked a little.

    Third and final one

    1999 - Mediocre car at best. I like it a little better with the cam in it now. It's doing well for as many miles that are on it.

      I miss my '85... I had so much fun in that car, was my first car, so did lots of "first time stuff" in cars with that car.(first burnout, first time to do it in a car, etc...)

      I popped the motor at 120k, had plans for a small block, car was prepped and ready to go I was looking for a motor, but had to move to college. My parents didn't want a 3rd gen sitting with no motor in their yard for like 4 years.

      sold it for $500, guy put a new motor, new wheels and shows it at tower shops(for those in ft. lauderdale) weekly.

      My 3.4L I miss that car alot, car was a blast to drive, and like said by others I think it was more fun to drive then my 3.8L alot of times even with it being a full second slower. Also since it was an older car, I didn't care so much if I had a hiccup or two in it.

      I knew that car like no other person knew a car before, I think in the end I had like 600 passes at the dragstrip. I really should have gotten into bracket racing with it.

      I do miss that car, but I will admit right at the end, it was a nightmare. I had blown out the tranny again, lost 2nd gear and 3rd grinded and kicked out occasionally. Tires were belts, brakes were metal on metal, even lost a pad. Car had been broken into, no radio, electrical short in teh dash that killed the battery if the car sat 8 hours, unless I pulled all the interior fuses. Headliner falling(I hated that) but the motor ran like a top.

      sold it for $1k rolling chassis with 130k miles on it.


      If i could I woudl take them back in the condition I left them. I wouldn't mind fixing them up. Just don't have any money to do it.

      Hell don't have the money to fix my car up [img]smile.gif[/img]

        I liked driving my 94 coupe over my 93 TA into hard turns. The only reason I sold my 93 TA is because it was an automatic. It was too boring for me.

          My 1997, I miss it dearly, the only thing I would have change was the auto tranny.

                  Dude I know what you mean... I not sure its possible to know how much money I have wasted on f-bodies in my life...

                  Thats why I try and be semi calculated with what I buy with my current car.
