Well, if it was you, and you walked around, you prob. saw my white z28. I was next to my dads Orange vette(C6), and a red Lingenfelter (C6)was next to my dad.

Sh*t guys, I had to put my Z-28 on jackstands yesterday- driveline issues. But I can still get there tonight with a back-up ride...

Hi, I am from Ft. Walton Beach up in the north west panhandle. I hope to be a future 92' Z28 owner soon.
My buddy here owns a 85' Camaro that he is fixing up, and he showed me this site.
He is going to build a 383 Stroker out of a 350 that I gave him. He's going to soup it to about 500-600 HP and he wants at least 500 HP at the wheels. That should get him around fairly quick.
Me? I just sold my 86' Monte Carlo LS due to cancer (rust) issues all over the top of it. Now i'm looking to get me a 92' so I can drop a motor in it that i'm building now.

I didnt get there till around 8 or so, I was there with my Formula 350. Saw one other Third Gen there, a white RS. There was a decent showing of F-Bodies mostly fourth gen. I enjoyed it, there was something for everyone's tastes there. From older muscle cars to bad a$$ modern cars. I'd definitely head down again sometime.

Florida is a great state to have a convertible in!
- cars' in a million pieces now. All interior out, entire fron t clip off/apart, doors off, toneau off, complete top out, trunk lid off...etc
Motor and front suspension is all that's left at the moment....
I moved to Lehigh, so atleast I have a single garage now.....

Thanks for the welcome Vindoo, Yes, I am looking forward to enjoy the top down experience here in Florida.
As a side note, I am always willing to give a helping hand to anyone local to me that may need it. Not suggesting that I know a lot, but willing to offer that extra hand or 2 if needed.
