You say your sister's car has an RS body with a Z28 engine. Did it come that way from the factory? If so it is a very rare car. Only about 500 of those were made each year! It's called a B4C.

Any of the '82 to '92 F-bodies have that style of interior. Of course, they got much nicer towards the later years. If I had my choice of any year/style of F-body to "soup up", i'd go for an IROC or GTA, '85-'90 (I think they still made IROC's in '90....i'm sure somebody on here can correct me if i'm wrong.) I never much cared for the '82-84 Z's, and I don't like the vented GFX on the 91-92's. The '82-'84 Trans-Am's are alright, but the interior is a little crude compared with later years. They made GTA's after 1990, but I'm not a big fan of them once the front end changed. Just my opinion though.

Actually, according to many here, your sister is right. Later third generation Camaros and Firebirds are often said on these boards to handle better than all other generations...

I have never driven a fourth gen WS6. I have however driven a fourth gen TA and my third gen is a WS6. I'd say that my 3rd gen handles better than the standard TA made this year.
