Re: Oct COTM **Winner** Satin or matte would look good in person but it be hard to pick up in pics and definately need the right light to notice it even in person |
Re: Oct COTM **Winner** Awesome car congrats. Love the detail of the engine bay and underbody! |

Re: Oct COTM **Winner** congrats man, btw i totally love the way u painted the car. i need to get the paint and some other lil things done on my twin turbo iroc so maybe somone will nominate that instead of my v6 car next time around lol |
Re: Oct COTM **Winner** It's really nice to see a 1991-1992 Z28 that has been modified a lot but still can go under the radar unless you really pay attention to the details. Thats a very nice car! Have you taken your car to the skid pad yet? I would be intrested in knowing what kind of G's you would be pulling with all those upgraded aftermarket suspension parts. There shouldn't be too many cars that can keep up with yours in the handling department ha ha! |

There shouldn't be too many cars that can keep up with yours in the handling department ha ha! No never had it on the skid pad. I raced autocross with it two times about 10 years ago, and from that point I wanted a mix of a "show car" and race car handling than, the drag racer that most of my friends went for. I would really love to get it on a skid pad. I "used" to run it hard in the canyons (playing doubles - double the recommended speed) near me, and have had C5's and crotch rockets get out of my way. The sticky tire in the rear has made it feel even more capable, but I'm sure there is more cars on this site that could totally blow my handling away :) |
Re: Oct COTM **Winner** Ha ha yeah. Thats the path I am taking with my car too - under the radar. I'm leaving the exterior of my car stock and I'm keeping the stock wheels. Right now my car looks stock but I have done some mods to it that would surpise people though. Ha ha I haven't done nearly the amount of mods that you have done to your car though. They didn't make a whole lot of 1991-1992 Z28's to begin with (as I'm sure you already know) so I know why so many of us thirdgen fans like your car to begin with. Even if you had left it 100% stock it would catch a lot of attention because now it's starting to get hard to find 1991-1992 Z28's in good shape. Thirdgens are the best handling Camaros & Firebirds that GM made in stock form period. These cars were pulling 0.90-0.95 G's on the skid pad 25-30 years ago without all the computerized aides and exoctic hardware that many of todays performance cars use to get the same results. All that's really needed to up the performance level on thirdgens is some more power, minor handling mods, better brakes and, you have got a car that will be able to take on and beat many of todays performance cars. Ha ha I believe you that you would be able to give some newer cars considered to be good in the handling department more than they bargained for. Ha ha I love doing that with my car too - having fun on twisty back roads. It's always nice showing up a person in a newer car that has no idea what they are doing with a 20+ year old American muscle car that makes them scratch their head. Ha ha that never gets old!

Thanks man! The others cars were very impressive. It would be blurry choice for me lol Man you are like the 4th person. I have a list if it actually gets to that point. I honestly need to get serious about a new engine before I can start dreaming of 3pc wheels and mini-tubs (I still do all the time anyway). I will put you on the list and if it works out or I run into a deal that I need to jump on I will be calling people :) Thanks again! talk to BlueZ, he has the cleanest LS swap around. I'm sure he could save you a few steps, and time |
