Default z29r?

Lmao! It happened yesterday right around 5:45 I was turning of noble going down devonshire back to van nuys area when Im stuck at a red light waiting to turn left. I see a fairly nice looking black 4th gen z28, but then I noticed it had a emblem/sticker in the original stock of the z28, that stated z29r. I couldnt help but laugh when I first saw it. But I will admit it had some nice exhaust (borla I think???), and maybe some c5z06 wheels. Has anyone around here seen it?

Damn it is actually legit. I would have thought it was someone trying to be "cool" by putting on different badges.

I laughed because to me it didnt look right. The z28 chimes in with an original name. But the z29r doesnt sound soo good to me, in my opinion. Its like seeing a z07r, or ws7r. I dont care what the guy has, plus we learn something new everyday. Also in the area I live in, it isnt hard running into ppl with ridiculous emblems, and stickers all over their car. Theres this white mustang like a 2003 model year, it has a bodykit, with red 5 spokes wheels, then it say GT-R on the back, along with a riced out integra with lexus emblems all around it, including the wheel caps.

Yeah the spoiler is nice looking, I for some reason like it more than the ss style.

Damn some of you are 4th Gen Noobs. IN 2001 there was a Z29R for sale at Sand Chevrolet in Glendale, AZ. Nice car but not worth the price.
