hey guys. my name is matt and im from central nj (old bridge). im 16 and i just bought my first car. its a medium patriot metallic 94 z28 with a t56 6spd. i picked up the car from craigslist for 3 grand a few weeks ago (i actually found the for sale thread on here today).

the mods include:
3.73 gears
moroso cai
93 octane tune
precision short throw w/ hurst ball
exhaust cutout
granitelli strut brace
aftermarket panhard par
aftermarket LCA's
eibach pro lowering kit (1.5in all around)
2000 Z28 wheels painted black
GTS tinted tail light covers
drilled rotors

i have many plans for the car. i plan on doing a full exhaust set-up this winter. that will include: pacesetter coated long tubes into a custom x-pipe into dumped dynomax bullets.

here are some pics for everyone:

I like them a lot. They give the car a racey look. The extra tire width makes the car handle so much better. I got into them cheap only 120$ for 4 rims that i then stripped primed and painted. The nittos were only about 139$ a tire. I love the nittos as well. great in the rain and boy do they hook.
