My 1999 Z28 droptop
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 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...92708_1532.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2708_1530a.jpg The car quickly got a catback(SLP LM1) an air lid, new headlights, a detail and set of C5 Z06 wheels. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture262.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Picture271.jpg 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. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...psv7xmxp8e.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...psacsaai0n.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...pstrq2btel.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...pssrw8nolj.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...pslkag9sol.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...pswwefibfv.jpg |
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? -Tim |
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.
