I have more of a sleeper mentality anyway. I'm probably not the best person to reply to this thread, as I removed all Z28 badges, drive around on a quiet dual/dual catback, and roll on stock painted wheels with M/T drag radials. hehehe. Most of the time, my car is also dirty.

My car is very well maintained, and I've had the polished ZR1's in the past, polished the brake calipers and painted the pad brackets, painted some plastic under the hood, etc. However, I sold the wheels to buy a cam and haven't looked back since! It's a wash away from being ready for local cruise-ins, just the way I like it.

Performance before looks. Our cars don't need to "look" faster. The only apperance mod I did was the ZR-1 wheels. I had to have some 315's out back. Traction increased a little. I had heads and cam 450rwhp before going STS. It's no sleeper though. The loud choppy idle at a stoplight kind of gives it away. I couldn't be happier with my street set-up.
