My 1999 Z28 droptop

[NJ Torque]

The car started life as a low optioned Z28, well as low as you can get with a convertible. 105 MPH speed limiter, 235/55 tires rather then 245/50, 2.73 rear gear. Pewter in color with gray leather... I picked the car up about 6 years ago with 201K miles. The only mods were incorrectly sized tires and the muffler cut off over the axle.

Pictures day the car came home

The car quickly got a catback(SLP LM1) an air lid, new headlights, a detail and set of C5 Z06 wheels.

So then the mod bug bit... install a Vig 3200 converter and trans cooler along with a LS6 intake. That was real cool even with the 2.73 gears, up until the trans blew. So the trans was replaced again but with a Yank SS3600 converter this timem along with a 3.73 rear gear. Drove around like that for about a year... The decided to install heads and cam. Instaled a MTI B1 cam and cartek ported 241 heads up until the trans goes again.

From there it was a bunch of ideas and plans... from a MP112 roots sytle supercharger, then adding a 383 below the 112. That idea got cancelled then now the final outcome;

A 6.0, LS3 topend, a tick built stage 3 T56, 4.11 gear 12 bolt... Sitting on a set of racestars and ET pros that are for another one of my many projects.

The car is an absolute blast to drive, so glad I went with the 6 speed.

Love the hood, but then again i'm partial! What color are the race-stars? Hard to tell in the photos.

The "darkstars" or the black chrome style.

Very cool look. Not a lot of people put effort into anything more than cruising with rag tops.

What are the future plans? How far do you want to take it?

Not much futher at all. I don't really want to involve too much into the droptop since I probably won't ever take it down the track. Just cruisin.
