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."

What little I do have to offer....

I have heard Sam talk about how much better the 3rd gens handle.
In fact the main reason for building his current car for ESP was the engine HP. He does own an ESP 3rd gen too.

Mike Johnson, FS Champ proceeded to tell 2 STI owners, 2 Porche owners and a few others at an Evo school that a 3rd gen IS a true sports car, despite what people think, and that you just hit the brakes until they start to lock, and then hit the gas.

FWIW the Kozlaks were DAMN fast in a 3rd gen that had an AUTOMATIC. It has won championships too.

My money is on the 3rd gen every time. In non transitional stuff like road racing they are more even. And the PHR threads are your answer to why (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

Sorry Chris but I gotta agree with him.
