I beat a Shelby Series 1, Ferrari F355 x2, a Ferrari 360, and WRX out at blue ridge mountain race way the other day. The series one put up a good fight only becuz the guy could drive and it was tuned farther then my 02SS.

Im trapped in japan 9,000miles from my beatiful Z28 so the closest thing i can do driving is play video games. So in my virtual garage is a faithfully restored and 69 Z28 that has been tuned out to 402hp, a custom built monster of a 69 SS with a C5R 7.0l motor tuned to 791hp, and then my baby the 02 SS. Black with t-tops, just like my real Z28, it has the LS6 motor in it with minor work and is sitting at 420hp and 430 torque. the really cool thing is that this game supports online racing, which is where my 02 SS gets to stomp out equally tuned ferraris, vipers, vettes, gts, ricers, and just about any car that steps up in its class.

Sorry im a geek, but i just miss my car and driving...

Japan eh? wanna pick me up a few sets of taillights

[jin1481]

i could look, what you want

[V]

Either of these styles in the picture, or if theres even a iroc/grid style of the lights on the right. This picture is of my cars. I already have a set of each but I want spares just in case. Now on my SS I even also have the european Export rear bumper.

alrighty ill look into, ive seen a couple of 4th gens driving around, but ive seen 2 3rd gens in the 20 months ive been here.
so whats the differences in the lights.

[enRo]

If you look closely at the left taillight of his SS, it goes "Amber, Red, White" ... on american versions, itll go "Red", then White on top of an Amber (for 97-02 models). The IROC's looks almost inverted in colors, like Amber being on the outside instead of red.

*EDIT* BTW, if you come across another pair of those SS export taillights as well, ill hook a brother up with some $$$

[jims69camaro]

why haven't you mailed yourself the parts to make a humvee yet? oh, did i let the cat out of the bag?

i figure since the guys back in korea were mailing jeep parts home i'd just update it for the newer vehicles they drive. from what i understand, every lieutenant has one to be chauffered around in...

The japan lights, have(or had) an amber requirment on the outside of the light. The 4th gen lights in my pic were available from 93-96 only in certain countries that had the amber requirements. The stock 93-96 lights were just red and white. The 97-up camaro lights met all country rules. In 82-92 models the amber is moved to the outside and the red got moved inwards and one reverse lens was blacked out. The lights on my iroc actually came from an army soilder who was stationed in Japan and had them on his Iroc there. When he came home, he sold the car but kept the lights which he put on ebay and i bought them.
