I thought you were stock, just checked your signature. I think it'll be a driver's race.

Umm, a prom and K&N aren't going to save you against a 4th gen. You'd need something like a cam, or heads, or headers. Or anything!
Equal driving, I'd put $50 on the other guy.
Sorry!

I think it would be a good race, that converter is what made me think this, it helps alot! It will be close but you wil probably edge him out!

I think youll have him off the line and then at about 60mph he will start to catch up and win the race at the last second.I hope you win.

You'll probably win most of the race but he's most likely gonna catch up and leave. I hope you win though.

That sounds about right to me. I think through the 1/4 my money is on you but after that all bets are off.

Does he know how to drive that 6-speed? It can be the death of him if he doesn't. He needs to know how to launch it. It will be a good race and very close. I kind of fell that the 94 might edge you out just barely if he knows how to drive.

I put all of the Z28 emblems back on the ground effects and bumper. I also got a new badge on the front bumper... u know the red/white/blue shield..

Its coming along, I just gotta get the damn rear window tint off and put some wax on it and she'll be good to go.
