My New Daily.....1992 RS Camaro 14k miles, review/test drive

Does a 3rd gen Camaro make a good daily driver? Yes, yes it does ;)

[@cart-wheels]

I love Thirdgens too. A wander/wonder bar from TDS will change the handling like you wouldn't believe. As a bonus, they came in the IROCs and prevent the subframe from cracking where the steering box mounts so it's a direct bolt-on.

[@Feral80sKid]

Really appreciate the info brother, I'll check out the wonderbar too. You have a Trans am? Saw your youtube profile pic, I've had a 78, 89, and 90 Formula, love em!

[@Feral80sKid]

I'm about to order it lol......my other 92 I put on a triangular strut tower brace, felt the same as before except for cornering, felt a major difference. I'll make a review video and give you a shout out, love talking cars especially third gens :D

[@Feral80sKid]

Good call on the Wonderbar, did a Spohn and front swaybar poly bushings/endlinks. So many things to say improvement wise, gonna do a mod video soon and give you a shoutout, thanks brother.....excellent upgrade🤝

@@Feral80sKid You definitely have a cool Camaro . The msd wires , hoter coil and headers added performance . I recently bought a 92 rs Camaro and I'm just curious.

[@mekkimaru2365]

I want everyone here including the channel owner to know that this car has been my no.1 dream since I first saw one way back in 1993. I live in Manchester, England and have been a fan of Trans Am's, Firebirds and Camaros for a long time. There was a huge American car showroom in Manchester called Bauer Millet, and that is where I saw the 3rd generation Camaro for the first time. Fell in love with it and have wanted one ever since. My dream car is not a Super or Hyper car, it is literally just an 1992 RS Camaro - either all in Black or White, maybe the White / Red striped Heritage Edition. I'm a very visual person, and I just love the look of this car from any angle. And the stock wheels look so good on this car. One day, I WILL own one of these. But will probably have to find and import one online as the prices people charge in the UK are just dumb

[@Feral80sKid]

Love your Jetfire profile pic too, always was my favorite transformer lol. Thanks for commenting my friend, always loved Camaro's, Firebirds too. I can imagine they want way too much over there. If possible, if you import one, try and get one from such states here as Arizona, New Mexico, California etc., even if paint is faded it should be solid and rust free. That could maybe get you an affordable high mileage but good condition car to your door. I was actually going to put oem red rally stripes on it, and paint the black front grill white to match to make it an anniversary, did wrap the headlight buckets already!

[@Channel0002]

How much are they selling like a 91 or 92 3rd Gen RS for over there?

[@Feral80sKid]

Depending on mileage....say a nice one like this $12-$20k, they're all over the place.

[@MrOlea]

I really like the fact that it has the original Delco radio - aftermarket radios look chintzy and out of place.

[@Feral80sKid]

Thanks man, I like the look of it too, gotta send cd player away to get fixed.....makes the usual clicking sound like most and won't accept cd's, definitely looks cool :)

Nice looking car Brian. I just traded my 2000 dodge ram 4x4 for a 1992 rs camaro.. Its a 5 speed standard with a 305 4 barrell that replaced the throttle body injection. The motor and trans were rebuilt. I love the styling of these cars. They are now harder to find than the 2nd gen and 4th gen camaro.

[@Denspion]

I had a 92' RS, was a v6, but it was beautiful, red, black racing stripes, t-tops and a 5-speed manual. I was always getting looks when I drove her. Then one day the clutch burned out, and this was in 2001. Decided I should get something newer. So got the clutch fixed and sold her, and ended up in a brand new 2002 Cavalier Z24, to this day I kick myself in the butt for selling that, one day when I have the money I hope to track down another, though I want a 5.0. Love this video, takes me back.

[@Feral80sKid]

Thank you very much, glad it brought back some good memories, I can relate lol. Also had the red with black stripes, so cool that you had a 5 speed, so much more fun to drive imo. I actually drove an 03 Z24 with a 5 speed, thing was surprisingly quick. You can always get another 92 one day my friend, and I hope you do 🇺🇲🤙

I'm working on a restoration project. 92RS with t-top. Got it with no engine, no harness, no transmission, no rear end. Wires cut like crazy. Bought it a 350 carb bumping it 400hp with an fti 700r4 built transmission, and an LS1 SS 3.42 rear end with the zexel posi lsd. Also bought it a brand new UMI/BMR suspension, replaced steering to an iroc z quick ratio, and a new steering linkage assembly. It's one hell of a project.

[@Feral80sKid]

Does sound like major work, but I love what you're gonna do to it, and also that you're gonna save it. Gonna make a video soon you'll probably get a kick out of, dad has an 83 Firebird with a 1le Iroc rear end, lots of suspension goodies, k-member etc..

[@davebarron5939]

Enjoyed your thoughts, Just to throw my 2 cents in. I have a rust free 83 Z28 that has now grown into a full blown LS swap, hope to have it up and driving this spring (here in MI. that will be June) but I did a couple of things initially that really brought the car to life you touched on. I did a Corvette servo in the 700R4 worked great and cheap, I did a 97 TA 4th gen rear-end swap to get disc brakes, posi diff, and drop from 3:08 to 3:42 big improvement. Note: The 5th gen rear-ends fit perfect however are 2" wider, so you have to change wheels, I went with late 80's vette salad shooters, or you will need custom wheels, that are available. Great cars, 500 lbs. liter than 2nd gens, with modern suspension, and gorgeous! And yours looks perfect. Enjoy!

[@Feral80sKid]

I hear that lol :) I know....prices on everything are just getting plain stupid.

[@bryanblanton2046]

Shoot! Thats a nice car for a 92 and the mileage. Someone could definitely work with this and make it just about perfect. Seems pretty smooth. My Grandmother was in to the Chevy Monte Carlos. She had a pearl white one "SS" and around 1989 she traded it for a a Black Chevy IRock Z28. It got stolen right out of her driveway twice. So, she ended up getting rid of it for a 2 door Buick Regal in 91. I just barely remember the IRock. But, every time i see one, im like "Damn!" But, anyways I've always been a big fan of the I-Rock Z's. So, I've grown up with all these cars. They just have that wicked, slick and sexy look! General Motors did great in that time period as far as design and more. I mean, im a huge TransAm fan because its what i grew up with all the way up intill 2000 when my Dad sold his 1993 that he drove off the showroom floor back then. I was literally only 15years old then. 6 months away from getting my actual driver's license. I wanted that car so bad! He just said it was to powerful for me and my car insurance would be sky high. So, i just got to drive it here and there with my learners. I remember it having such low mileage for it to be only 7 years old in 2000 and he'd already got a brand new truck. The dodge dealership offered him $6500 for a trade in and he said no and just sold the car out right. It took about 2-3 months to sell it. And he got double the amount by selling it out right. Car dealer ships will rip u off. And sometimes if you're tied up in payments and you dont actually own the car than its sorta your only option. But, if u own it with title in your hand. I'd never trade. Because, you're just giving your money away. No, offense to anyone who owns a dealer ship and help people out thats already in the whole. But, a brand new car, that dealership is going to rip u off.

It's been a long time since I've driven them,, owned a 84 firebird 305 w 4 barrel and yrs later test drove a 92 rs camaro 305 tbi..,, the only thing I curious of is the steering radius on the 92 rs?? Do you need to steer the wheel further on a winding road compared to the older ones? For some reason I think they might have a different steering radius because I've seen other driving videos of these 92's and they look like they require a little more wheel turning, I dont remember my 84 needing to be steered as much on curvy roads like the 92's.. I dont mean 2 nitpick, I think they might've changed something. One day I'll have to find a spec on em ( steering ratios ) but I'm very interested in these 92rs camaros, my favorite car from the 90's

[@Feral80sKid]

Not 100% sure, I can definitely say the steering has considerably less resistance than my 89 Iroc Z had, the radius seems about the same though. Good questions, and nah its ok, I really enjoy talking to you all about cars on here lol. As far as a 92 I can't recommend it enough, seats are more comfortable to me, love the 91/92 ground effects/yellow guages and lettering inside etc., and soooo many modifications/upgrades out there :)

[@orchids3332]

I just bought a black 91 Camaro RS last year from Unique classics in Minnesota. Had almost 29k miles on it. Wondering what you paid for this with only 14k miles. They aren't fast by any means. Just a real nice cruiser. Great for taking the wife and kids out. I have my 88 Trans Am GTA that I bought 14 years ago from the original owner. That one is fully documented. The difference between the two is night and day. I drive like I'm 50 in my Camaro because I am 50. My trans am makes me drive like a 20 yr old ahole. I'm just curious what other guys have paid for theirs. It's not about money with these. For me it's nostalgia. The Monte SS is nice but the prices on them are insane considering they are just as slow as the RS.

[@orchids3332]

Love the Crown Vics and the Grand Marquis. I liked my 02 Taurus wagon so much I advised my daughter to get one for her first car. Now there are two of them in the driveway. I've put about 9k miles on the Camaro since I got it. You're spot on about it being a daily driver. It's weird though. I drove the Camaro today then took the wagon out immediately after. The feel is completely different. The comfort in a Ford Taurus or especially the Crown Vic is like no other. Like everyone else I've thought about investing in something else but these two are my keepers. There are way too many cool cars out there for the average guy to collect. Great video. Good luck with the channel.

@@Feral80sKid funny you should say that, my daily is a 09 P71 Crown Vic with 124k (purchased 5 years ago with 62k) been a great car. I also have a 78 Caprice 2Door with 27k original miles.

[@Feral80sKid]

@@capricetony hahaha, you're my new best friend now lol. Thats awesome, and p71 is a great, and SAFE daily the way people drive now, good choice.

[@awfulcoffelsonecargarage8215]

Just wondering how many miles do you have on your car now

[@Feral80sKid]

Sold her unfortunately, really wanted a place out of the chaotic city and moved out in the country some. Much better backroads for cruising:) I do have an 83 Firebird SE now that's ls1/t56 swapped though.

[@awfulcoffelsonecargarage8215]

Cool I got an 87 Firebird I just put a 383 stroker in this last summer and a 92 RS heritage it's got 25000 Mi on it now bought it with 24000 still has the original tires on it back 10 years ago I bought a 1999 LS1 with a T5 transmission to do a swap with the Camaro it's just too clean I don't really want to tear it up but I might one of these days love them Firebirds later bye

[@Feral80sKid]

@@awfulcoffelsonecargarage8215 I'd keep it original too, starting to become scarce, and so much cool factor as original imo

[@CS-oe8og]

Do you still have the car? Is it still your daily?

[@Feral80sKid]

I don't unfortunately, it would have meant driving it in the salt/winter. I just couldn't. Love that 4th gen in your pic.

[@Mrnicguy00]

Honestly imo, as tempting as it would be mod the crap out of it. I would angle more towards restoration. New dash pad, not a cover. Detail the engine bay. Get her looking showroom. There are tons of 3 gens that have been modded. Her value is being 100% bone stock with 14k on the clock.

[@Feral80sKid]

Couldn't agree more brotha

[@Thirdgen83]

Timing should be at least 6 degrees. Personally, I run 12.

[@Feral80sKid]

Idle was a little high for my liking at 6 btdc, 0 was stock setting with wire unplugged

[@NotAGarage]

Those hood struts are upside down. You can get a set on eBay for less than $20. I always replace them on 3rd gens. TBI is slower, but it is way more reliable and smoother than the TPI!

[@Feral80sKid]

Appreciate it, good eye....bought her that way. Agreed btw....I love tpi and had a few lol, but tbi reliability for my daily :)

[@davebarron5939]

@@Feral80sKid I park inside, and always leave the hood and the rear hatch open, my belief is it takes the stress off, and both hood and hatch on mine still work perfectly. Matter of fact, I replaced the rear hatch seal and now when you "pop" it, it opens on its own!

[@Feral80sKid]

@@davebarron5939 makes sense, my dad actually helped improve the design for the later mechanical hatch motors, gm was using a plastic part in them that kept breaking and he talked them into using metal for longevity, he worked at the Columbus Fisher Body, later known as Delphi before they closed the plant :( Love people like you guys on here and talking cars

It has the rare delco CD player those are really hard to come by

[@Feral80sKid]

True brother.....I think over the last 25 years I've maybe had 20-25 3rd gens, 6 of those were 91/92 and this was the only one with delco cd player, it does look kinda cool too lol. Everything on it worked but was gonna send radio to batee.com to get actual disc reader working. Actually sold this car recently, sure miss it but came across a deal I couldn't pass up on a 2022 LT1, wish I could keep em all, like Jay Leno haha

Now u need a new hood. And a 383 motor

[@Feral80sKid]

You're speaking my language bro lol, sold her a while back. You're right though, the hood was epic heavy, good motor the tbi 305 but lethargic. I do have something you might like now though, an 83 Firebird SE, mild build ls1/t56 with a one off carbon fiber knight rider style hood. Love Camaro's but dad was gonna sell it and I bought from him.

[@aaronerickson7222]

Whatever you do, do not daily that car, its value will be gone quick. All it takes is a few winters and the car is irreversibly damaged, the floors will start getting soft spots.

[@Feral80sKid]

You're 100% right..... Thought when I bought it I'd be able to drive it in the salt but I just can't, it's too nice. I'm gonna end up getting a beater.

[@glenerickson358]

Daily driving a 14k mile car? Should be reserved for car shows

[@Feral80sKid]

I ended up selling her, agree 100%. It was too nice to daily, and didn't wanna drive it through salt on the roads. Have an 18k mile 1990 Corvette now for shows.

This one I sold a while back, appreciate the interest though, sorry.

[@slickwhipz]

doesn't handle well??? my stock third gen is the best handling car I've ever drove. Chase down custom low rider accords all day on a windy road.

[@Feral80sKid]

Do you have an Iroc Z or Trans Am? I ended up doing a wonderbar and front/rear polyurethane end links/swaybar bushings, made a nice difference. Guess I am used to driving the 6th gen Camaro's lol, they handle incredible.
