Yes there's here a lot of car shows, in the Hague we have montly the biggest meeting from europe, there always between 500 and 700 US cars.

There are a lot US car enthousiasts, only problem is that the parts are expensive here.

Greets,

The mirrors are designed to fold back.If anyone wants mine for any reason,they can have them,they are ugly compared to the standard ones.I've also changed my lights for standard ones.The speedo was changed to a 140mph one by the previous owner.I suspect there may have been some differences to the engine,but I'm not sure,but that is long gone anyway!If Tom can give us anymore info on the differences,that would be great.

Hi guys,

I'm glad that you know the differences about a Z28 and a Z28e, because i see no differences between them, mines have normal taillights, speedometer is also the same as the US version, the only thing what is different that i have turnsignals in the frontbumper and no foglights.

But on the licensepapers stand Z28e so i wrote it down

Look on http://www.prostreetcar.com/nascar.html for some pics of my car mayby one of you see any differences.

greets,
Tom Brochard

Z28-E's had different...

mirrors
rear lights
rear number plate appeture
no spoiler
higher front indicators
no running light
white side lights in the headlights
different front repeaters (larger and E marked)
metric guages
rear fog light
different PROM with a different advance curve
no AIR pump
no EGR
no cat (?)
i believe the seat belts may be inurtia reel as well, rahter that the pendulum type.

Hi Tom,

where are you from in the Netherlands ??. I have been working over in Flevoland allot recently at the Theme Park ( Six Flags over Holland ). Really cool over there, and lots of straight long roads !!.

Have fun with your Z28 and dont forget to check out AACINT.COM

Well hope to talk to everybody here again some time, later!
