Wow, I knew this guy and car way back when. Nice guy. I remember he had some trouble dialing in the timing back then, that's about all I can remember.

Once you put a bra on your 6th gen you can just cozy right up next to that car and look like long lost brothers.

Re: RAD time warp 82 Z28, 80's style show car

I can’t imagine at any time or place thinking that hot pink arrow would be a good idea.. Nope... that’s not a Thirdgen and that’s not what the person that designed the Thirdgen ever had in mind... Sick people made that car...
