From here on out, it will be known as the Ignorant Pannel.

For thoes who continue to refer to the pannel as a "berger", yes.
GM will offer a blacked out tail pannel. So if you do call it a Berger pannel, you should be kicked in the balls.

Actually, all third gens were assembled in either Ohio or California. The Ohio plant shut down in 87.
Since California had tougher air regulations, the paint used in the paint there was water based. So that's why any 3rd gen made in California tends to have paint fade.

There was a deal struck in 87 to build the 4th gen in one of GM's most high tech, most flexible plants at the time, Ste.Therese since both Norwood was shut down in 87, and Van Nyes was being closed as well...I belive.
They could built all the cars in one plant, and the CAW gave GM a better deal then the UAW.
Canada will continue to build Camaro, only at GM's highest volume plant in North America. And they will only be building 100k cars a year in a plant that could pump out a half a million cars easily. Thats almost as bad as the Solstice/Sky/Opel GT/s2x production in Willmington where they make about 40k units in a plant designed for over 350k units.

The Ohio plant closed first, forget exactly when, and then Van Nuys, CA finished up production with the final car off the line being a red Z28 in 1992.
BTT, the Caliber/Caliper thing always bothers me when people say it. It is BRAKE CALIPER NOT CALIBER!!! lol

So, all fourth gens are Canadian, and thus inferior to third gens.

yeah i never heard anyone reference a berger panel to any other car but a 4th gen. so your argument is moot.

Camaro/Camaro
Beretta/Baretta

I really hate "DUEL" cats or "DUEL" exhaust.
I mean, how can DUAL exhaust work properly, if the two pipes are battling with each other under the car?

One more:
Apprently Vic Edelbrock still hasn't done enough for the auto industry to be a well known figure. I hear about Eldebrock, and Elderbrock probably more than I do the actual spelling.

Ahaha...I laugh at them.
But you remind them that you swapped one cam and gained 35hp, they swapped 2 and gained 20.
And to make matters worse...you then tell them that they still own a Mustang
