First off, thank you...

Second, I've had the car for 4 years now...nothing new, just new pics It has just over 20,000 original miles, and is bone stock except for the tires and the chrome tips on the exhaust, which can be taken off at any time...It has all original belts and hoses, etc...It doesn't need anything at all, and my plans for the car are to keep it that way No mods, no changes, nothing...

As far as specs go, it's a LB9/700R4 with the 2.73 drum posi rear and WS6...

Thanks...and because I don't drive it daily...this week was just exceptionaly gorgeous, so I decided to use it all week. It's normally just a weekend toy, so right now, it's back under it's cover in it's garage

The daily driver before I got the '02 Z28 was an '86 IROC-Z, which is missed alot






...it had 86,000 on its almighty LG4

Awesome!!!
The color combo is nice too. I like it b/c its not a GTA. Its before the GTA's time.

I would be afraid to drive a car that clean.

Sweet ride <drool>- I'd really like to have a T/A

Stuart,

That is one of the nicest thirdgens I've ever seen!

Absolutely beautiful, man :hail:

THIS is why GM sold so many of them--your car is the perfect example

A TRUE classic

Nice VERY nice. The TA is gorgeous and the Iroc is beautiful too. Keep up the good work in taking care of your cars. People these days sometimes dont know how to take care of their cars. Today I saw a brand new BMW and the front wheels were as black as your TA's but their supposed to be aluminum. id hate to be the next owner of that car.
