Yes, the 2nd pic was taken before Kat bought the car though. Another member who has not been active in years owned the car at the time I took that pic (Nov. 2004)

LOL @ same plates. Hey, they are both black Camaros, right?

haha yea, the one on the right(85 iroc) was the one actually registered, and when i bought the vert back i just threw the other plate on it so the town didn't get on my case about an unregistered vehicle. The 85 i kept covered when parked plus i usually had one in my other driveway around the corner so rarely they'd be seen together.
and yea... a black 80's camaro is a black 80's camaro to most people.

I remember Top Gear saying Camaros and murders go hand in hand but thats a little too real.

Convertibles always weigh more due to the additional chasssi bracing and stuff. That number sounds about right.
