Well,
Honest opinion....
It does look like it is in pretty good shape for an 86. Got any interior pics?
I think the cowl is too high, as well as the rear end.
The cowl is bearable, but the "jacked-up" look does not bode well with these cars. It just looks stupid.
Otherwise... Hows the 327? Any 1/4 times?
Adios!

Thats a small air cleaner on there, any reason¿ I think the cowl looks great though I like the drag race look. But Yeah you have to lower those springs, what does that do for you?

What size wheels/tires have you got?
Lower it and get some wider profile tires on that bad boy. The cowl looks great, as with those wheels. 327 is definately original, but you need a bigger air cleaner. Other than that, sweet ride.

I like the look of your Z, minus the stance. It's something different, and if you like it, then keep it that way, but I dont really like the high stance. Not bad otherwise. I like the FOX racing sticker.

Huh? I don't get what you were referring too with the air shocks, please clarify. Car looks good except for needing about a 4" drop.

YA loose the shocks No offense when they are Jacked up like that they look to me like a "HillRod" ride!! Your car is way to good looking for you to ruin it like that. Slap some Competition Eng. 3 ways drag shocks on there 30 bucks each and they work awsome!!!
Loose the shocks and your good to go!!!

Trust us, the "Raked" look is out. At least on a thirdgen. With just the hood, sounds(filter, exhaust and radio) and the right wheels and tires everyone will know you mean business. Our cars are meant to low flying machines. Leave the "Jacked up" look to the rappers with the Impalas, the Novas, the Chevelles and the 70's Mustangs.At least you do have the right color. Black is sweet. Just my 2 cents.
