my 91 z28 is stored for winter so i'm driving my winter beater now...since 3rd gens are the shiit, i just drive my 4th gen SS in the snow.LOL



post ur winter beaters...my winter beater will beat your winter beater

 

Where are people getting these 4th gen beaters? It seems like they take more abuse than the 3rd gens I've seen.

I don't have a winter beater.. it was 85 degrees today

 

i like my 12 sec. winter car plus it rides way nicer and handles better than my 3rd gen..leather interior..it's a great car! and driving my 91 everywhere isn't too fun..the girls don't like to ride in my loud *** 3rd gen race car(it sounds like a damn drag car inside) the 2000 SS is a nice smooth quite ride, great daily drive not to mention it whoops everyones *** out on the street at night.

 

The 91 is faster? My brother has a 2000 z28 and he says my iroc handles better, but his car is a bit more comfortable because of how quiet it is.

 

the 91 has taken out it's share of LS1 cars..it should run low 13's...(emphasise on SHOULD,lol) i ran it w/ bald tires and it ran a 13.9 @105mph w/ a 2.5 60ft...i can get that 60ft down to a 2.0 easily w/ new nitto drag radials so it COULD run 13.4's possibly.

the SS is defenitly faster..but i just bought the SS 3 weeks ago and the 91 has been stored for a while now. my truck for winter just crapped out so i am stuck w/ the SS to drive in snow

 

That 60' is pretty bad.. The first time at the track I ran a 2.4 and improving to 2.2 netted me almost a half second in the quarter. Those first 60 feet are important. 105mph is probably good for 13.2s pretty easily with a good short time. My brothers car is automatic and he runs around 13.3 @ 104.5. I'm hoping to be about even with him next time we race... he's had this thing about challenging me to grudge matches in the past, and now I may actually win with my new engine.

Good thing these new cars are made mostly of plastic, so they can't rust as much

 

nice!!

 

yea they do make better winter cars

 

HAHA!!! I just bought a 98 Trans Am, 25,000 miles and MINT. It's black, 6-speed, chrome wheels, T-tops, all power, leather interior, etc. for MY beater!!! Congrats! I love these LS1's. It might get retired in the future from daily abuse like the ROC.

 

lol!

since neither of the third gens i have are up and running currently i had to hurry and swap an engine into the 81 beater truck i have so i could have it for snow, and i got done swapping before the first snow fell on the 24th, also have the 83 caprice but rear brake line b;lew recently sop i gotta fix that maybe today, starting to snow right now again, gotta go.
