A simple morning drive featuring a 1982 Camaro Z28 with a few mechanical updates. This car was built to be driven and I do... a lot.
Here's a list of some of the additions:
Baer T4 Cross drilled and slotted brakes

2002 Standard Corvette Rims
Flaming River quick ratio steering box and leather wheel

I've watched this video so many times. Still one of the best Thirdgen videos on UA-cam
I slept with your mom
I love 80s Camaros . They dont always get the love they deserve.
Turnerco Stickers They are finally getting it....and just wait another 5 to 10 years.
Turnerco Stickers The stupid 305 is the real issue that gave them a bad name.
If only it spun and acted a bit like fords 302 the Camaro would a lot more respect
The other issue the 350s are rare in a manual 5 speed but all the 305s were stick which suck
They don't deserve anything but a good crushing
@@CaptainFALKEN god don't like ugly you need jesus
A 350, hard top, stick would be insane
What a classic vid. Watch it every now and then to get pumped on third gens
Heck yeah! 🤘
I remember watching this when it came out and had a 89 third gen. Crazy I was 25 going on 35. How time flies
Wow!
Love 3rd gens
I watched this video back in my college days and fell in love with 3rd gens. I've now had my 92 Camaro for 9 years.
Nice to hear this!
I love everything about your camaro. Mine is still on jackstands
watched this video a million times bc 1) I love 3rd gens and 2) I'm building mine so I get amped up lol
how did you make out,mine is killin it.
Same here man. Check out my 3rd gen channel lots of good content
THE HYPE TRAIN IS REAL
The Hotchkis springs are a very happy medium for comfort and sport.
these cars are underrated! They definitely deserve more respect than what is given to them! Anyone that ever rode in mine even the hard-core mustang guys have been surprised at the all around performance of the 3rd Gen f-bodies
8 years later and I love this car still, Ive based this car to build my own off of for the last 4 years. I did qa1 suspension all around and just put in a simple 327 that screams up to 8750!
definitely the best looking early model Camaro
whaa, im too high to understand
Technically the second generation F bodies were in production until the early 80's. So from that standpoint only the 67-69 F bodies are "early" models. In reality, any generation designed within 20 years of the first F bodies inception
is indeed an early model. Being that third gen F bodies started being produced 13 years after the first generations debuted...
well actually i was referring to, correct me if im wrong, the "late/early model" term used by the DMV/SAE that a car that is, i belive, 16 years or older is an early model car. So by that i meant that i like this Camaro as it is better than the current gen Camaro.
this particular car, in this particular setting, with these particular modifications. not necessarily all 82 Camaros.
I prefer 1969-1973 Camaros.
People always focus on hp numbers, but never stop to consider how much torque these old motors cranked out. Almost always 80-100lbs of tq more than hp. So i would be willing to bet that this particular iroc is making close to 400lbs tq, probably 370-390lbs tq. Lots of fun.
Todd Rich That and lots of hp doesn't always mean lots of fun. My third gen wasnt putting out a lot of power, but it never failed to put a huge smile on my face. Cruising the hwy or in the hills, it always made me smile. Thats all I want. Cheers! ^^
The 290 hp crate motor only makes like 325 TQ but I know what you mean. My 350 has 250hp but 350 TQ
+James7796ify Can you explain what torque is?
+REDBILLY HILLNECK : fun fact since your devIding by 5252 torque and HP will always be equal at that RPM. check it out. i swear it's true. don't pretend to understand why, just mathmatical artifact. Quirk
it definitely makes enough hp/torque to push you back in the seat as you cruise lol
I've owned 6 Camaros over the last 40 years or so. As an eight year old I remember seeing my first Camaro in '68, at that point I knew that was the car I was going to drive someday. The first one I wanted, a butternut yellow with black vinyl top '67 in '75, didn't get it by the way. My first was actually a '74 LT I bought in '77. From then on I was hooked. I got my first brand new Camaro in '83, I ordered an '84 Z28 from a local dealer. They didn't have one I liked on the lot. It was a charcoal gray metallic, gray interior, 5.0 liter, 190 HP, 5 speed, JL8 4 wheel disc, posi rear beast. After 5 long agonizing weeks I got the call it was in. I went and picked it up, drove to the nearest gas station, it only had about enough gas to get there not the 30 miles to get it home, no full tanks back then. I hit the open highway rowing through the gears, shifting from 2nd to 3rd I already had the speedo buried, 85 mph back then, I knew this car was going to be fun to drive. :)
My 90s toyota pickup has more horsepower than that
@@daire2655 it might but it will never be as cool as a third generation Camaro the eighties Camaro was road and track car of the decade even beating out porche on the track test but hey your Toyota that probably has a rusty frame is better then that right 🤣🤣🤣👌
Jonathan Lawson I don’t see him wheeling😉
I was just saying it has surprisingly low horsepower, I know the rest of the car was good, it’s a shame they didn’t have closer to 300, they would have been real beasts
@@daire2655 the l98 was close to 300 with roughly 225 lol
This video has some of the best footage and presentation Ive ever seen. The third gen world loves this.
Glad to hear this, thanks!
Amen on the t-tops
I am definitely a mustang guy, but I respect this car, and would drive the shit out of it.
DevilDolphin Same brother
Nothing handled better then a third generation Camaro in the eighties they even beat out porche on the track test
Props to this guy for one of the first 3rd Gen serious builds, on UA-cam anyhow.
What a fun car! A 350 with a T56 trans! And that thing looks light as well too.
It was a really fun car!
The early 3rd gens look so much better then the 85 ‘s and up. The lower bumper and side skirts make it look goofy
Wtf is he talking about this is bad ass car this car looks so kick ass
I have a 1988 iroc-z and only pay $40 a month for full coverage at State Farm
Lance Workman I have a 1984 Camaro with a 350, Geico only charges me like 28 bucks a month to insure it, one of the cheapest sports/muscle cars you can insure.
I've got a 1982 z28 and I pay $259 yearly.
I have a 96 toyota t-100 and I pay $350 per month, I love being 16, insurance is so cheap
Since I got tickets I pay $500 a month lol 😂
Wtf i got a 91 z28 and pay 50 for liability
Those 3rd gens were some of the best street rod cars of all time. Easy to make a respectable performer for not much dough. I had 2 RS's and a Z in my teens and 20s. They sure were junky cars, but man they were fun!
Love the cinematography! 80s muscle is where it’s at!
Templin Hwy north of Los Angeles
Bad Ass 3RD GEN!
It won't be a third gen camaro with out rattle and noise. It is its charm.great handler.and yes T-tops Rule.🤘👍💯
Awsome car . Grew up in the 80s owned an 86 IRoc 81 Z28 70 split bumper and now have a 94 camaro. BADASS!
hail to the 3rd gens
Still the best 3rd Gen F-Body vid on UA-cam Jason.
Thanks so much dude... you rule!
Thanks for confirming my decision to buy one of these. I have the same philosophy as you. I think I'll go for the full LS-1 swap with a T-56, but I'm not going to spend more money than I need to in areas that I don't much care about (looks, reputation of year, etc). I'd like to be able to go to an autocross event then crack on some Porsches on the way home.
+Josh Miller Can and has been done good luck these cars are seriously underated. There like leggos you can build them into almost any kind of car you wish amazing aftermarket support. Decide what you want to do and build it to do that. Have been a fan boy fore years.
I have a 3rd gen Firebird. There is no car I would rather drive than it. Its balance when it come to handling is phenomenal. I love that car.
Had an 86 Camaro with t-tops. Sorry I let it go. I do have an 86 Firebird without T-tops I know it's far from perfect, but I love it and hopefully will never get rid of it!
I love that car!! T-tops do rule!
I recently did a short video of one of these Z-28's for sale, it was busted but these cars are so awesome looking. I love how simple you left the eterior, and good color choice, looks nice on that model. You so lucky to have open desert roads to fart around on, its a shame that you can't really enjoy these kind of cars in the Philadelphia region.
I've owned nothing but Third gen camaros since i was 16. I'm 20 now and I'm currently on my fifth one, it's my third IROC so far. I've owned three IROC's and two Z's and i'll never stop driving a camaro, I'll die with a 4-speed under the palm of my hand.
Just awesome to see people having a Camaro sounds great
Thanks for sharing this video man, I love your channel, that z28 is definitely a cool ride. Cheap, fast, fun is what it's all about, and you don't see too many of those things in good condition any more
if it rattles your radio isnt loud enough..... or its too loud!! either way...
the 290/350 crate is a great motor for a budget build. low, pump gas friendly compression,(8.5) and you can use just about any intake system used on almost any small block chevy with very little work, and only about $2000. with the right intake and fuel delivery, you can expect more than the 290hp rating.
The roll cage was about $80 of mild steel tubing and three nights after work. I borrowed a friends mandrel bender for the hoop but the rest was bent with a manual press bender in my garage. It's nothing fancy but better than nothing and did make the car noticeably more rigid.
This is your coolest car!
Imo 3rd gen is the best looking camaro hands down.
I have three 3rd gens. 86 IROC, 92 RS and a 86 TA WS6. Love these cars.
Had an ‘85 firebird. Still miss that car.
I do love an IROC - the ultimate badass car from VHS action movies.
I want to see it too. Show us the mods! Awesome stuff man.
It for sure sounds good and I love flowmaster, and I agree awesome stuff love these cars and what he done
Man... I miss my 1988 IROC Z28.
I miss this car so much
I wish you still had this car Jason. It would be fun seeing you work on it.
I really liked that car but just don't have the space to keep them all!
I just bought a 3rd gen in rough shape. Maybe it will look like this one day lol
Congrats!
I want to see an updated video if you have done anything else to it absolutely love this car
Sadly, I don't own that car anymore
autoedit what all did you need for the t56 swap im planning on going that rout with my 84 and i i know the lt1 t56 but did u seap the peddles and such and what cross member
Thanks for doing a video on this car! I actually think the 3rd generation camaro's look awesome and there are not many that are built as well rounded as this car. Great Job!
The 3rd gen Camaro or Trans am don’t get the love they deserve. I got a new TA in November of 1986 about 6 months before I graduated. It had the base 305 Chevy 180hp engine and a automatic. That’s it, but would still run in the high 15’s in the quarter at the local drag strip and although it had 140 mph on the speedo it couldn’t quite reach it but 135 mph was possible every time. I got a state trooper to clock me about 1:00. In the morning that was about 23 years old and was a car guy himself but I didn’t tell him how fast I thought it may go bc I figured my Speedo was off above 100. Anyway after I made my pass by him he made me come look at his radar and it showed 135 mph so for what they were back then which I know is laughable by todays standard , I will always like the 3rd gen f bodies. In 87 when the mustangs with ground effects and 240hp 5.0’s came out
We all had to take a step back. Even irocs and Ta’s with 5.7 tuned port injection couldn’t do anything against them. If you ran up on a 5.0 with a automatic you at least had a small chance in the quarter.but even if you got the automatic out of the hole they would still come screaming by you at around 65 so if hated mustangs. Anyway, just a little history on the f bodies that a lot of us in our 50’s now used to love.
Just discovered your channel while looking for Z28 vids. Subbed. You deserve way more subscribers than you've got!
+Alex Don I'm glad you found this...Welcome! Thanks for the kind words!!!
+Alex Don I just did the exact same thing
+theo raptis --Same...
+autoedit same
Jason, I would love for you to reunite with this Camaro some day, lol....
Yeah, it was a good one...but to make room for other stuff is important sometimes.
autoedit I had to stop in for my annual autoedit dose of this video, lol... you are top notch Jason!
Finally someone who loves to have to drive and "man handle" the car to get it where they want it. That's what makes driving 92 chevy pickup so much fun. Not nearly as capable but more of a handle full there for funner to drive.
Have an 85 IROC and I have to say, these cars hold the road as well as any new car with very little mods. They are extremly fun to drive and you are always in control. Love em
Here's how I rank the camaros (from a Chevy man myself)-- And don't hold me to the exact year/ these years are the couple years near it.....#1-1969....#2-1972....#3-2015....#4-1988....#5-1998
What flowmaster series do u have on it? It sounds really good, I been looking for a flowmaster for my 87 z28 under sure which one???
Sounds like an 80 series.
My favorite 3rd Gen video on here. I love the focus on the curves vs ET times at the strip.
It was the right call no doubt.
That is a bad ass car I love it I wish I can be 18 because I would buy that car
if you had this car and no driving skill at 18 yrs old you would probably be dead pretty quickly.
you need to know how to drive to finesse these cars,ive owned 6 of them and love them but
they can be a handful.this isnt like a modern car,all refined.it takes a driver to drive it.
How easy was it to match the 6 speed up to the 350? Did you need any aftermarket adapters?
Cody B I don't know for sure, but I would say you do an adapter. the six speed in this video would be a born warner t56 for an lt1 (if you didn't know).
Cody B I'm sure you can get a 5 speed from a 305 from the same era and have it directly bolt on cus I think you need some adapters for this tranny to this engine.
The 6 speed for 93-97 Will bolt directly to a SBC. An LT1 is a variant of a small block.
saw this car in car craft and loved it. my first build was an 88 camaro that i built a 400hp 355 for. it did everything well, including the tightest donuts. it had 3.08s and a 700r4, i swear it would do 160! i will build another!
My first car was an 89 RS with the 305 - and this video really makes me miss it. It ran well, and gave me 38mpg ( yes, that's MILES PER GALLON) running from Barstow to Tulsa.
Hey can i have your car >.< super sweet,,, how much did you actually put in it $$$
C T He's got 4 grand in just the brakes. Add in a new crate engine, t56 swap, suspension, roll bar, seats, wheels and tires, etc...I'd say closer to 15 grand.
"JIM"
\m/ I've owned both a third Gen 86 trans am with a 350 tuned port and a 84 z28 with a 400 SB THESE CARS ARE PERFECT STREET CARS GREAT HANDLING AND LOW WEIGHT MUCH FUN TO DRIVE!
4:48
Silver body, black rims, a Z28 badge.and a power station under the hood.
What a beautiful way to be happy!
How the hell do you get only 290 HP from 5.7 liters?
It's a smog legal replacement engine...no one said they were good...just better. The LS family of engines changed the game.
290 is alot in a car that stock had 170 - 190
how much HP are you supposed to get from a 350 engine? cause i have one and want to put in my 79 camaro
woodardj93 There's not set number that a 350 makes. It all depends on the engine itself and what vehicle it came out of and what year the engine is, how it was built, etc…... for example, the stock 350 in my 89 Camaro makes 240 HP while a 350 in a different vehicle might make more or less from the factory. if you want to know what the HP rating of that 350 of yours is, find out what vehicle it came out of and what year and google the stats for it. It all depends on how you build it and what you're going to add to the engine to get more horsepower.
Looks like we have a troll on our hands here guys….
Thanks for showing it
Watching this video brought back memories of my favorite car I have owned. I had a 1982 Z28 Indy Pace car. I wore out the original cross fire injected 305 and built a .060 over 4 bolt 350 with flat-top pistons and a competition cams cam. And I swapped that AWESOME (LOL) cross-fire injection set up for a Carter 4 barrel. It was sweet. Drove it for a total of 15 years and felt like I lost part of my soul when I sold it.
Just stumbled on this, hope you still have it! Awesome car! Love 3rd gens!
I had to sell it a while back but really loved that car... the young dude that bought it had big plans for it!
Well thank you for helping motivate me to pull my Iroc out of storage and start wrenching!
I love you for not calling them rims like everyone else does.
The push button was fairly easy. Bought the button from one of the "tuner" websites for $20 and intercepted the starter wires from the key and the clutch safety switch and done!
i love my third gen thanks for showing the old camaros some love
Jason became cool once he owened a 3rd gem camaro
The tower brace was on the car when I got it in 2005, but the rest of the suspension is right at 1300.00. Most of it came from Jegs and Summitt. Had a crate 5.7 installed in 2005 at the dealer. I only paid 4k for the car and it is still mint. Took almost 2 years to find one in this shape. Lotta junk on the market, but they can be found. This would be my 7th Camaro since I started driving in 1976.
Great vid, love 3rd Gen's. "My" dream Camaro is a '92 Z28 with a modern type motor underneath, upgraded suspension, brakes, done. Unf.
I love it! Had a 89 iroc 5.7 that I bought brand new in August of 89, drove it till 2006 when it was rear ended and totaled, miss that car.
Thanks for the video I have an 85 z28 the 3rd gens are way underrated
I want to see it and I'm glad you showed it. Thanks
It wasn't any ONE thing that was hard about the manual swap...it was the twenty little things that were super time consuming! Totally worth it! Just plan triple the time you think it will take. I thought it would take a weekend, it ended up taking two weeks!
The 82 Z/28 was a great handling car. I had one back in the 80's with the Cross Fire Injection and it would pull your cheeks sideways in the turns.
You're a man after my own heart! I have an 87 Firebird Formula, and I totally get ALL of the fun you speak of with the design and set up of that Camaro. The 80s F-Body's always had an A on the fun factor grade.
One of the nicest 3rd gens on youtube. I love the sound.
i have the 4th (2002 z28 35th ann.)gen with flowmaster catback. puts out 345hp. really fun car. great job with yours. i love the vintage camaros.
Miss my Z28😢
Thanks for for the video!
It's a good platform!
That's easy....HECK YES! I was really happy with that kit...springs are perfect and the sway bars were a great balance between street and track.
I had an '84 Z28 back in the day... fun car. I now have an '87 Vette with 46K on the clock and it's a fun ride with that torque happy L98. 😊
Im restoring my 82 camaro as well. I put a chevy 350 in it with a 4 barrel 650 carb nothing special but its been quite a ride so far. cant wait for it to be finished and on the road where it should be.
This video made me fall in love with my camaro all over again
T Tops do indeed rule. I love the look and love the sound. I am envious of the beautiful stretch of road you have to drive that thing on.
Makes me miss my 90 RS, alot of fun memories in that car.
You basically nailed it here. Seems like the newer cars are a little too refined. No feeling left in the brakes, steering, and suspension.
Now that is a nice Turd gen. Props to the owner for keeping it so clean
3rd gen F-bodies are the best. I miss my trans am.. drove it daily for 10 years
Subframe connectors did wonders for these cars!
Great ride! Camaro's are definitely my favorite car in the world. Especially third generation Camaros.
"I pounded cars that cost waaay, waaaaaaaay more than this thing... and that's fun", lol. I love it!!!
i have a 82 Z28 that i have a blast driving
