I drove the car !!!

No one will believe it, but I drove the car last Sat/Sun to a friends house so we could do some work to the suspension settings to get it ready to go on the alignment table. It was loud with open Longtubes ! I have not had a chance to put back on the new exhaust setup I think I may have completely scared off a black EVO from wanting to race. He rolled up on me fast from behind coming up to a stoplight. He started reving his motor like he was gonna give me the smackdown, so I cracked the throttle real hard and let the longtubes sing a little bit and he decided that this was not the right F-body to pick-on It was funny just playin around for about 10 minutes going to the house Saturday and 10 minutes going back to the storage unit on Sunday

I can't really say. I never got the car over 40 mph because the suspension needs to be put on an alignment table and the car was running open longtubes = (loud)

Well, the more money you dump into these d*mn F-bodies the more they become Garage Queens. JMO, at least most of them do ! It's the only way to keep them looking good. It's not easy to leave them sit, but its pure bliss when you take a car out after letting it sit for 6months or longer

94 Camaro, your way behind (owned the car for 7 years) If you want to see more of the threads I have started just search under my name: 96SilverRam or LS1tech, projecttransam.com under the same screen-name.


Major amounts of susspension work on this car, every nut & bolt on the suspension and undercarriage has been replaced with Grade 10.9 in Zinc DiChromate or Silver Zinc finish.

Here are some pics just in case you have not been following the progress of the car.
