Well, my iroc has been in storage for 2+ years. She hit the road the other day , but she feels so much slower than my former SS. Guess I'll have to do something about that. Anyway, here are some pics I snapped the other day. Lemme know what you think...

Thanks guys! Nope that is not a scratch, just a reflection of the road. Unfortunately, someone stole my Z28 emblem and TPI emblem back in college. Hope to have them replaced this summer.

I am pretty sure he means High Performance Pontiac. They do a fair amount of both 3rd and 4th gen features and tech stories, and it all applys to the Camaros, too. (wow, how's that for the shoe being on the other foot for once!)

It's looking nice! My only question... what's up with the stance? The rear is pretty high compared to the front.

Muchas gracias everyone. I'm picking up a copy of HPP. Turbos...would be very .

nolanr0413 - got rid of the SS b/c of HIGH insurance and I will, most likely, be starting a business at the end of summer...the funds would be better spent on the biz.

CaysE - the stance is the result of the Eibach Pro-Kit. I thought it was going to settle, but she's been that way for years. I am going to do some digging so I can drop the rear a bit.

Thanks all.

Trans_AM_88 - I put it away when I bought the SS and it was meant to sit for the winter...which ended up being 2+ years. I did not start or drive it in those 2 years. I drained the fluids and so far so good, but we'll see what the mechanic and inspection results say...
