Looks clean and has a nice stance. Seems to be running better than most around here also!

thats pretty hot,the only thing i would change is the rear tires they stick out a little to much,it kind of takes away from the lines of the car.

thats just my opinion

Yeah If I had to do it again I would go for the 16X8 rims... To run a 15x8 and keep it in the wells... you might needs special back spacing or mini tubs...

I had to roll my fenders so I would not cut the tire.

I personally am not crazy about the plain jane body style but it looks like it has plenty of go.But for that price you could get a nice iroc or T/A but the performance wouldnt be as good stock.

just depends on how you fit it. i run a 295/35/18 dr with full suspension travel and no major problems although i had to have the rear bumpstops removed. the new car has 315's and no problems. it's all in tire/wheel placement.

Re: What do you think of this 3rd gen!

I think...my car is just as fast without the nitrous.

Seriously though, it a clean car that runs very well. The look it slightly outdated with the stance and large meats hanging out back.

That was the biggest problem with my car, I had V6 springs on all four corners. When I swaped in the 383, even with aluminum heads, the front end was in the weeds. So I ended up swapping in all 4 87 Z28 springs from my parts car, and cutting 1/2 coil of the rear to sit level with the ET streets I have.

Good luck selling it, I know how it feels to sell a car you are really attached to.

chrome 17x8 IROC rims with some 245 width tires and some 1" lowering springs would give it a killer street stance.

i'm not big on the "huge meats" look...way too much like the stereotyped "mullet 3rd gen".

Re: What do you think of this 3rd gen!

WELL seems nobody like the wheels and tires.. That is cool by me I have factory 15X7 wheels that can be put on the car no problem... The back spacing would better fit my C3 vette anyway.

AND I realize that it is a base coupe. But that is what makes it so great... people don't expect it to be radical. And It is true, I would rather not sell it would rather contine to build it up. But with a wife 3 cars of my own and her car....THAT IS NOT working out...

Overall I think you guys seem to like it... I guess I would be better off swapping rims right off the bat and using the factory 5 stars wheels (in red?) and some 235r60 15 tires.

YA think?
