[Chris 96 WS6]

Below you will see a link to a post that was supposed to be discussing the next Camaro. However, I seem to be butting heads with the guy named IZ28 that seems hellbent on proving the IROC-Z is a better handling car than any 4th gen ever made.

I find this very hard to believe considering the improvements in the 4th gen front suspension plus the availablility of 17" tires later on. He's quoting imaginary kid pad numbers like they are gospel.

If anybody is interested, I could use some fact-based assistance. He claims 3rd gens still dominate F-stock to this day...I kinda find this hard to believe.

Not that I am anti-thirdgen, I've owned two of them, including an IROC, so don't take my opposition to this guy the wrong way. I just don't agree with his "facts."

[Formula WS6]

this is similar to the C4 versus C5 arguement. both have their advantages and both have their weaknesses. i honestly don't know any road test or facts, but i do know for a fact the WS6 suspension on the formula, GTAs, and TAs was beyond what the IROC had. and it should have performed better with that stuff, but i don't have any data off hand.

i think with the advances in the engine from the third to fourth gen it is very hard to really tell which is better. while the L98 is very good engine and can make huge power in the right hands, it is trumped by the LT1 in stock ro bolt on form, just as the LT1 is trumped by the LS1.

and for the record i never thought thirdgens were uncomfortable, except for the posh GTA(which I love) i just felt cramped in there, maybe i should have given it more time. im gonna own a notchback one day.

i do hope sam reads this is, he has and runs or ran a 92 Z as well.
