I've been a registered member of this site for quite some time, however I just recently purchased an LS1 powered car of my own. Its a 2002 Z28. It was a little rough when I first picked it up as the pictures will show. Most of all it really just needed a good bath, but I also took it to the paint/body shop the day after I picked it up to take care of some flaking issues on the bumpers as well as re-align some of the panels. I also picked up some HP Evos from a local Corvette guy for a deal that I couldn't pass up. 19s in the rear, 18s in the front. 285s all around with Yokohama AVS in the back and Michelin Pilot Sports on the front. Tires have about 85% tread and I got the whole package for 800 bucks. The car is looking halfway decent now. I've picked up all the mods I'm going to do for now, but they are still sitting in the garage as I'm taking the car to the local 1/4 mile track this weekend to get some baseline runs before the modding begins. Some pictures...


The day I picked her up...



3 weeks later...

That is such a beautiful car. I had an 02 SOM ss with 50k miles and my friend wrecked it. It was my dream car and I only had it for a few weeks. This really makes me miss it.
