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





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.
