Arrow Here's The New Vette

The first three pictures were taken by the previous owner down in San luis abisbo CA, (hence the date on them) and the rest were taken in the driveway of my new place in Southern Oregon. Man I wish my new place would have had a 2 car garage, cause now the Z28 has to stay outside in the weather. I'm goint to buy one of those Portable Carports for it that's completely inclosed.

Other than some stereo equiptment I'm having installed tomorrow, I don't really have too many plans for it right now. I just got my new computer upgrade from "PCMforless" for the Z28, so now I can get the 3.37 gears installed that I bought from Joe. Between the two of those things, it really ought to wake the Z28 right up.

OK, enough talk about the cars, here's the first set of pictures I have ...................








.






































Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I had to take off the front ground effects in order to get in and out of my new driveway. The pitch coming in off the road is too steep even at an angle. I'm going to try and build a shallow ramp that I can drag over there when I need to take out the Camaro because I absolutely cannot drive my car around like this. I hate what it looks like without it.

It has a Magnaflow Catback system on it with an X-Pipe between the tranny and rearend. As far as the exhaust tips go, I couldn't tell you. I don't actually like them myself, so I'll probably swap them out for the Quad round tips.

The Vette gets garage for a few different reasons. The biggest is that it has a new $6000 paint job and it's always been garaged. I'm getting one of those Carport/Tent things they have at Costco for $169. You drive your car inside it and then zip up the end so it's completely out of the weather.
