They just released the article. I can't help but share. Check it out guys

I'll post the pics when I get them emailed to me.

 

Very impressive and well deserved! Congratulations!!!

 

awesome man!! congrats BADNBLK! about time our third gens get some attention

 

Great article. Congrats! Thanks for representing the third gen crowd!

 

Huge Accomplishment.

Absolutely "Beautifully" done and a "Major" step forward in recondition the Third. Gens. Deserve.

Thank You

 

Congrats! Very nice work!

 

Very cool!
Will the article be in the printed magazine as well?

 

AWESOME! Good for you...good for ALL of us!

 

Well done.
Every bit of press these cars get adds to the value for all of us.

 

Thank you guys. Its a bucket list item for me for sure. I've loved this car before I even owned it, and I'm so happy with all the positive "press" it has received since it's drive train upgrade/facelift.

I had a busy weekend, and didn't get a chance to respond to each comment as they came in, so THANK YOU!!!

YES the print magazine should hit stands on March 23rd or 24th as the June 2017 issue, so please go out there and buy one. The better the sales for the magazines featuring "home-grown" thirdgens, could improve the chances for the next guy. It is all marketing and sales for them.

As for values... The more people see them and spark a desire to own/build one it will trickle across the generation. I got a pretty incredible offer on mine in the last couple days from a guy in UAE, but I have a hard time knowing if he is serious, but honestly it doesn't matter I can't sell it to him...

 

How about a picture dump. Not all of these are in any particular order...

 

 

 

 

That's awesome! Bad A$$ car!

 

Thank you!

 

Badass! I'm buying that edition of SuperChevy! Way to Go

 

It will actually be in Chevy High Performance Magazine, and should be on stands March 23rd.

 

Baddest ride on the board. Congratulations, well deserved.

 

You put a lot of time in that car and it shows. Thumbs up for representing!
I like that you drive it, flog it, and have fun with it.

 

That's a pretty big claim, but it makes me smile. Thank you.

It looks nice in the garage, and all, and I have a comfy lawn chair that can easily sit behind it, and has... but getting out there and beating on it has been the best part.

 

Awesome article! Congrats dude

 

Thank you!!!

 

Congrats man. This is what I wish my car looked like

I need to hit the lottery so I can get a set of those wheels for it.

 

Hey thanks man. You got the right base color for it lol. Just sell off a garage full of treasures and you won't have to win the lottery haha

 

dude. I saw your car in my email subscription mail recently and said "heck yea!!!"

great feature they did on it; I saved every one of the photos and added them to my "screensaver" photo file folder of millions of car photos.


you are big time with a feature like that.

 

That is rad you spotted it before I told everyone haha. I don't know about big time, but I feel pretty cool about it. There is more coming

 

Ha ... ain't that the truth. I spent all the money (and then some) on the driveline

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Well deserved!

 

I feel your pain.


Thank you!!!!

 

I have been saying for a little while now, that I had some really cool news to share.... well here it is:



Detroit Speed and JRI Shocks and Chevy High Performance Magazine have teamed up to take BADNBLK to the next level of performance, in a 3 part magazine tech article to install DSE's Speed 3 front end kit, and their Speed 2 rear suspension package!!!! That is correct I'm rocking a full DSE suspension package including custom valved double adjustable JRI shocks with billet housings... YUMMY!

DSE won't be able to run their own 3rd gen in any West Coast events this season, so I will be holding the reins, and flying the DSE flag during LS Fest West, Optima Ultimate Street Car series @ PPIR, and Goodguys Autocross @ Colorado Nationals.

Its a huge honor to be involved, and even more so to write a tech article for a magazine I have respected for many years.

If you got questions about the DSE parts I might just have the info you need as I just mounted it all up

 

Very nice, exciting news!! Congratulations on this next chapter of the adventure

 

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

 

THANK YOU!!! It's still unreal to me. I wish I could post all the pictures from the install... have wait for the magazine for that.

 

dude, that is INCREDIBLE. What an awesome opportunity! That is some seriously cool stuff.

 

It is honestly so amazing. Amazing part is how much better it feels. I haven't got to throw it around more that some curvy street driving, but it is a big difference

 

As I said in another thread, your Z definitely deservers to be in print Brandon. It's awesome CHP featured your car. Congrats!

 

Awwwwe thanks buddy! Been kinda a whirlwind of fun stuff with this since haha! See ya around right?!

 

This makes me want to tear down my power train and suspension, find a cleaner chassis and start over.

 

WOW nice job, please post any pictures of the car before, after and during the build.

 

Man that seems pretty crazy, but I have no clue what shape yours is in. Do what you gotta to make the best car you can.

Pics will all be in the up coming articles in the magazine. I wish I could share them here.

 

Congrats! You must be very excited. I know I would be too. Can you give some details on your comment I quoted? What differences and feelings over your old setup do you notice thus far?

- Jim

 

Very excited! Like big life event type stuff here lol. The front end responsiveness is much improved. The car still stays very flat in hard turns, but with much better front tire grip than before. To oversteer is requires further throttle input than before indicating that the grip has increased as well. I'm hoping I can hit a local event before LS fest and make sure all my settings are working the way that I want, but so far I'm really happy with the way the car is working.

 

Very Cool!

 

Right!

 

The car is great and it's nice to see your efforts rewarded. Congratulations on the article but most of all for being a good dad.

 

Thank you thank you thank you! Being a dad is the greatest accomplishment to date, can't imagine anything better

 

Badnblk,
Very jealous, those JRi's are made of unobtainium! Will make a huge difference - they are that good.
Congrats on the prime sponsorship!

 

They are incredible for sure. I never would have been able to afford them without the help of the great people at DSE, and JRi. Can't wait to get them on track.

 

I hope at some point in your travels you'll be able to get some verified skid pad numbers.
Would be very informative.
