    That proves it can be a good looking race car. I think a Camaro could look good, even in ITS trim.

    interestingly, it didn't raise any hairs in 1993. In contrast, at it's launch the aztec was roundly bashed. fast forward to 2013 and aztecs don't look all that weird anymore - hell they may have started a lot of the current design trends seen on hyundais, BMW GT/X6/etc..., and toward lighter, car based, higher utility "sport utilities." and the Camaro looks dated.

    as much as I *like* the X6, which is not much. just saying that it's not nearly as ugly today. I still think the rear hatch tent, center console "cooler" and luggage area amenities like inverter AC plug and stereo controls were pretty cool, though.

    What little I still remember of the 3.4L v6 is that it started life as a 2.8L v6. Think early Chevy S-10. Then, it was bored to make the "new and Improved" 3.1L v6, then got bored out again to make the "newer and more improved" 3.4L v6. The 3.4L moved over to the Camaros and Firebirds and the S-10's ended up getting a 3.8 for a base engine and a 4.3L for the "big block" Neither of which flowed very much air.

    I had a 83 TransAm with t tops that was so flimsy I thought I'd twist it in half trying to go around a corner. Maybe adding a cage would've helped.

    John:

    Yes, the 3rd Gen T-Tops were very flimsy cars. The non T-top 3rd gen stiffens up real good with a good 8 pt cage. The 4th gen can be stiffened really well with the right 8 pt cage too.

    I wonder how many condom wrappers, french fries, gum wrappers, and 9mm brass one will find upon removal of the interior?
