Default SVT BAIT - Actually not dead!

I'm still alive! It's been a crazy summer - I barely drove the Z06, and haven't had time for much LSx related, considering I bought a house and started a new career path. I did, however, get the chance to refinish a set of FM10s and mount them on my very boring Z28.

Enjoy the pictures, and hopefully next year is more exciting from a car perspective.

It's definitely been a while! Hope you're well.

I sold the black 'vert at the end of last summer and bought the red Z28. I do much prefer the 'vert, but this was the right decision financially.

Do you still have the formy? I was in love with that car. Your car is why I set out for a formula many moons ago. Only could afford an lt1 car at the time so I made due, and your the reason I put c5z wheels on my car.
The z28 does look great though.

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad that car had a lasting impression on some people. Those Z06 wheels do look great on your car.

My ultimate goal was to own a C5 Z06, so the Formula was a stepping stone. I sold the car in order to buy the Z06. At that time the Formula had an LS2 in it - now it's a 427 LS2.

For old time's sake:
