Very beautiful. Have you realized just how much you love that MGW yet?

Super clean and 96 being the only year they were in fact Z28/SS, added that with a hardtop, SLP optioned 2OTL, and cloth...my gut tells me pretty rare too... Beautiful for sure. Welcome to the shunned LT crowd...

All 4th gen Camaro SSs were actually Z28/SS, as per the SPID sticker which contained both RPOs, but only '96 displayed the combined badge on the console.

I like it a lot. This car was cared for and already had many things done before me, so the mileage really doesn't scare me. It runs strong and holds good oil pressure.

It's also had the transmission replaced, as the syncros were shot on the original. It also has a centerforce clutch with less than 10k miles on it.

Plans next are as follows:

Strano Springs
Tint
17x9.5/17x11 ZR1's w/Nitto 555's
LT Headers (probably leave the 2OTL exhaust)
Lloyd Elliot Cam (not sure if I'll swap heads too)

That will probably be all that I do it other than a few other tasteful things that I might come up with.

Question for you guys:

I noticed that my fans run, it seems like, all the time once the car reaches operating temp (which is usually right in the middle, so 210) It never gets higher than that or starts to overheat. Why are my fans running so much? How can I get them to kick on at a lower temp?

I updated the original post. I didn't realize the files were set to original size, as I have fast internet and they loaded really quickly. I used someone else's computer and they took forever haha.

I can't find ANY photo hosting site that let's you copy all of the IMG codes from an album at one time besides Photobucket. Anyone know of another that let's you do that? most sites don't even provide the code, and if they do, they have a bunch of crap saying that you uploaded it from them that you have to go in and delete.

Congrats! I would probably keep it as is but it's your ride! One of the more collectible 4th gens, that's for sure.

Hardtop with D82 Monochromatic one of my favorite and I am quite fond of Bright Rally red as well being that I have one (although it is prob gonna be sold by the end of the month )....I would reiterate what this guy says make sure you keep any parts you take off these cars were rare to begin with and with all the ones I have seen wrecked parted out etc I can for sure guarantee there is less than 2000 left....

Kinda sucks they stripped the Ram Air Intake and the console badge....any idea on what number it is and also if you don't mind taking a picture of the option sticker on the inside of the passenger door by the way I along with a few others have on this site have done a lot of research of 96 cars as there history can be quite hard to piece together so if you have any questions feel free to PM....

Don't be dumb like me...keep the car forever there is little to now resell value in the near future and they are getting rarer by the day
