There won't be a 10 bolt rear. It's going to have IRS.

The Monsoon was garbage.

Engine cooling

Maintenance

Another vote for interior quality

My 1994 Z28 overheats like there is no tomorrow sitting at a stoplight. Even with the fans on high. Also make it easy to work on, where is does not take hours upon hours to change spark plugs.

My Monsoon is good enough, granted the Firebird one was slightly better than the one in the Camaros.

Amen on the window motors.

Re: Mandatory Improvements from the 4th gen

'01 and '02 Camaros got the same Monsoon system as the '97+ Firebirds. They fixed that one, or at least improved it. The newer system is 500 watts, the older system was 200 watts.

My Z28's Monsoon hits pretty dang hard for a stock system. All of my speakers are stock and haven't blown yet. I'm a little disappointed, because if they were to blow, I'd have a better excuse to give my wife.

Re: Mandatory Improvements from the 4th gen

Make the 5th gen so you don't need to have hands like ****ing baby to work on them for the littlest things like spark plug and wire change!!!!

More legroom on the passenger side....tired of the ol' lady complaining!!!

Re: Mandatory Improvements from the 4th gen

PacerX organized a thread here that compiled a pretty extensive list on this site a couple of years ago that included everything imaginable up to the kitchen sink.

It was then presented to Scott to pass up GM if I remember correctly.

Yeah, but that IRS is going to have a diff, and hopefully the diff will be stronger than GM's crappy 10 bolt.

We got the real equalizer though while you got the SCV. And did the Camaro ever get the same number of speakers as the Firebird?
