Default New vert owner

Well through some creative trading I'm now the proud owner of a new to me 02 z28 vert. Lq9 with 241 heads, exhaust, headers, and that's about it. So far I really am enjoying the wind in my face again as this is my 6 th vert/ttop car, although it's my first 4th gen fbody. Anyway I'll be lurking on here a bit.

Looking at your user name, are you a Cobra owner too?

Used to be. Had a 98 several years back. That was the first screen name I ever had, and it also applied to my use off power adders that made a hissing noise.

That makes sense. Always searching for those few that own both GM and Ford like myself. I'm not brand loyal, just enjoy all kinds of nice rides.

Me either....I bleed mopar but let's face it in a modern world tuning has to be obtainable, and the car has to be affordable.

The madness has started just bought a set of rear weld rts's with dr's.
