    my plan long term is to start an engine shop and do custom packages and installs. Although now with the crate engine business the way it is it might be just an install business. IDK.

    My 99 handles great, but I'm hear to tell ya, that 80 2nd gen can hug a corner very well. Its a great car. I miss the rumble that thing had. whole damn car shook at idle, he he he

        Yeah. I think the 2nd gens are kind of under-appreciated too. They were sweet and with enough work had a lot of potential.

          I really like the front end design of those, they are just really cool looking in a rear-view mirror. Aerodynamic, too.

              Which one is it? In a race or not? lol. Mine just had a sbc. I'd run you with it. Did I mention it has 4.10 gears in it? when I get it back together I'll run ls1 cars.

                No, I mean the 2nd gen has an awesome front end design, When you are in front of one at a stop light, and you just notice it behind you, it scares the hell out of you.

                    Well, just remember there are 2 front ends for the 2nd gen too. the early 70-73 were different than the 74-81. Personally, if I ever find a 70-73 in good shape for a good price, I'll sell my 80 to get it. I love the 70-73 2nd gens!!!!

                        I really liked the split-bumper design. That was a really nice look for the camaro. I wish GM would have used more design cues from the 2nd gen camaro in the 3rd and 4th gens. They would look pretty badass!

                          Yeah, there are some, just not super obvious, but if you look at the late 2nd gens (78-81) you can see it in the early 3rd gens I think. The taillights, the pointy nose. Would have liked to seen more of it in the 5th gen concept too, but I better not get started on that wanna be car.

                            There used to be a bad ass 71 down the street it was orange with pearl white stripes and was a Z28 clone. They wanted $3500 for it, damnit I should have bought it to accompany my T/A.

                              I want to go with a maroon metallic with gray or ghost racing stripes on my 80.

                                I know way to much about how time slips by on these,an then you get bored with one,and get another to do,
                                but then they all sit!!!
                                my '80 been sitting for a few years now too,an my nova as well.
