[@philllsxga.7737]

@MrChad97Z you are totally right! I totally agree! What a disaster!! I can't stand them! All to be cheap. GM took the cheapest way out by using a existing Holden platform that looked like crap and through suspension tried to make it handle. What a joke!! I didn't fall for it! I have one of the last TRUE F bodies and I enjoy it!! And BTW, the IROC Z is definitely my favorite body style Camaro by far! They looks so tough!!

[@philllsxga.7737]

@@Deez30224 sorry but I just can not get used to that big bulky body of a current Camaro. I know the platform is Superior but to me they just do not resemble a F body in any way. I have a 2001 ws6 that I really enjoy. It's low to the ground and is sleek just like the older F bodies, those IROCs and GTAs just look so tough!! They can never be duplicated... Just like the grand national... Just my opinion.

[@Deez30224]

PhillLsx Ga. A black 00-02 WS6 6-speed is in my opinion one of the coolest cars ever made and definitely a car I want to get in the future. The reason for getting rid of my Iroc was because it was a 305 auto and I didn’t have the cash to do what I really wanted to do with it. And when I got in my LS3 6-speed it was a night and day difference lol.
