Default From Lambo and zr1 to Fbody...

My zr1 and Lambo are gone:



The wife and I are going to build a new house this year so you get the picture, decided to dump the expensive toys to save money. I still had to have something in the garage though! I was looking for a mint 03-04 cobra, or a mint 98-02 Camaro. I ended up find this 2002 Camaro z28! It is pretty rare from what I read. It is a 1SC package car. From what I understand (correct me if im wrong) The 1LE was not offered for 2002 and the 1SC package replaced it. Same thing but has the regular z28 breaks/suspension instead of the 1LE breaks/suspension. Supposedly it is the lightest Fbody ever made. Incase you dont know the 1SC package is roll up windows, manual locks, no fog lights, no rear defroster, hardtop, cloth interior. Only options are A/C, Monsoon sterio. The car is an auto I have never modded/built up an auto so kind of excited to try it.

I bought the car a month ago, 18k orginal miles. It is really clean. When I bought it had a facotry SLP intake, Magnaflow cat-back, 3:73 gears.

How it looked when I got it:



How it looks now:











I have lowered it with Eibach sportlines, Put the American Racing TQ Thurst II wheels on it, Nitto NT555 275's up front, 315's out back, Put in real HID's in the factory headlights, tinted it, Put a "beefed up" rear pumpkin cover, and a K&N to go in the SLP intake. Next mods will be removing those ugly exhaust tips, then longtubes, ported T/B, and tune!

Thanks for looking!

Nice plate, a yank ss4000 converter would compelment those 373 gears nicely. Any plans for a aftermarket hood?

That would be one of the lightest but people found that the manual windows were about 1 lb heavier than electric. I wanted to swap mine to manual but did the research and they are pretty much identical, I am there with you mine is a hardtop with no rear window defroster, no tc, and base options.

Very nice toys to give up, what are the long term plans for the camaro?

That white ZR1 looks awesome, I really like white C5 & C6 Vettes.

The Z28 is looking real nice as well, you've done some tasteful mods to it.
