hey man,

I have only a few suggestions and PLEASE..take them only as suggestions..


First things first, lower the car.
Second slap some nice rims on it...no boring 1970 craggars or anything like that (they arent a bad rim, just everyone is doin it)

The site that you are on, DOES NOT usually work in favour of a stock looking car. So you are lucky to get that rating.


Its a nice looking car the way it sits, just alot of people dont appreciate the look.
Good luck man

lets not turn this into a flame war...

he was merely asking for ways to make his car get more attention.

I told him things that can be done that everyone likes...

rims and suspension.

nothing more, nothing less.

The part about the website, its true, look at the cars on there!


Anyways, Im not defending my position. I still stick to what I said before

Why are you concerned with what a website rates your car? In my book its a 10 star but its your car and it should only matter to you if you like it, not if some stupid website does

EXACTLY! If you like it just the way it is, then leave it alone.
Opinions are like @ssholes, everyones got one.

Man, I love your car. I saw that thread where you bought it and saw your totalled car, too. Your last car was sweet, too. Most people seem to like lowered cars, but personally, I wouldn't and I won't do it to mine. My '91Z already sits lower than my Iroc did... I can't get the jack under it like I could on my Iroc.
Maybe some engine mods would help a bit. I love the look of the 91-92s with ZR1 rims on them.... especially with some 11" rear ones with some wiiiide tires on the back.... a good mod that is easily reversable.

Clear side markers will clean up the look quite a bit. Other than that, I love what I see.

my car was 4 stars for the longest time, and still is a good way down the page on 86's with a few stockers that bounce ahead and behind me every now and then when I look.....you gotta understand that the higher hit count you get, the better it's going to average out (more people could say they dont like it and it will have less of an effect)

I also think you should lower it a little. BUT, leave the rims because that is a CLEAN F'ING car.... maybe add some blackouts but nothing else

I think your car looks great as it is.. a super clean stocker. However the choice is upto you on what to do with it... I personally would do some 'shallow' tasteful mods that can easily be reversed. The first thing I would do with your car is some light-moderate window tinting. It would contrast nicely with the existing colour and it would help to protect your interior from sun damage.

Other mods I would personally consider would be simple things while keeping the stock appearance in mind... like polishing the stock rims, for example.

good luck!

My car is pretty much stock.. I mean i have a stereo system and rims, exhaust, headers.... Besides that its stock. Not lowered or anything crazy. Just another 91 Z. I have 5 stars.. I took my pics down for now. I need to get really good shots this spring. By the way you have one hot 92 Z. Best Fbodies are the 91-92 Z's (look wise) Also taking better and more pics will help that rating
