Default 3rd gen vs 4th or 5th in quality (drive tr & fit finish)

1) is there a site that is worthy where I can find out if the older (3rd gen) Camaros are any bettery quality (drive tr & fit/finish)
than the newer (4th or 5th gen.) Camaros.

(reason I ask is I know their economy cars have gone to pot - did their Camaros go to pot too)

2) what is your opinion on the above subject ?

thx
wanna buy

By experience from past ownership, I can tell you this much. I presently have a 91 RS, T-tops (and my 69, but that doesn't count for this subject). Before that I had a 94 t-tops, then a 96 z28 convert. The 94 & 96 had more of a solid feel compared to my 91. The biggest way I could tell is by the way the car sounds and feels when you slam the doors, but the difference wasn't huge. I can also feel my 91 twist over bumps and such more than I remember my 94 doing. I don't feel much, if any at all, difference in ride quality. A lot of ride quality issues can be due to the type of tires you're running. It's a sports car, and it rides like one!

id grab a fourth gen way before a third gen any day. not at all impressed with the third gen for durability both inside and exterior. drive train is classic chevy but chassis just wasnt great. rather flexy kurt
