Default New guy from Detroit

Figured I'd start off introducing myself a bit before I start posting and looking for some better info and performance parts for the Camaro. The names Ethan, I've been around performance cars almost my whole life. Mostly mustangs though. Since I was 15 and have owned 20+ within the past 5 years. But well with 2 of my friends recently buying Camaros this past year I decided to try something different and traded off my 85 GT for a 95 Z28.

The car has a few performance parts already but I'm looking to obviously add more and get this car to where I really want it to be. Here is a little info

95 z28 130,xxx on the body & 9xxx on the motor.
The car is pretty much stock, it's an automatic car with a built trans. I was told that the car had a trans out of a newer z06. He couldn't show receipts for it like everything else so I'm kind of suspicious about that. Good thing is that he told me who did the trans work for him and I know the guy so I'm going to be giving him a call soon to clarify that. But it also has a hypertech tune, 4.10 gear, MSD dist, CAI(not sure of brand), edelbrock shorty headers, 3in flowmaster exhaust, and a couple other bolt ons.

I'll be getting some pictures of the car tomorrow, the weather is suppose to be nice!

You have good reaon to be suspicious because ALL Z06's are 6 speeds.

Yeah I thought so... maybe it wasn't from a zo6 but possibly a newer vette. Who knows like I said I want to pull the numbers off the trans and call up that guy that did the work.

but other then that I like the car a lot so far. Much different from Mustangs.

Yea not to mention the driveline of any newer vette would not fit in an Fbody considering the tourque, rear mount tranny...
