    What are the *-bodies????

    Dumb question probably, but this is my 1st proper V8 ( unless you count the pair of 454's in the boat ). What sort of cars are the F-bodies, J-bodies etc that I keep reading about ??

    W-Body = Grand Prix, Impala, Monte Carlo
    F-Body = Firebird Camaro
    Y-Body = Corvette
    J-Body = Cavalier, sunfire, sunbird, J2000, Oldsmobile Firenza, Buick SkyHawk and some Cadillac.. .forget its name

    Those are the only Body conotations I recall off hand...

    ah, heres a great question.


    for decades, the Y-body has been corvette only.



    but now, theres a caddy based on the vette chassis...... therefore... isnt it a Y-body too? ;D

    good point... are the new vettes even considered a Y-Body anymore? they're based on the sigma platform correct?

    Just like w/the F-Bodies... if they brought them back, the platform wouldn't be an F platform... so technically they wouldn't be F-Bodies anymore
