Anyways now I jut bought 1999 Navy 6 speed Z28
This is what it was lie when I bought it->->->->
LS1 V8, 6 speed, B&M Shifter, SPEC Stage 3 Clutch, 3.73 Gear Ratio, SLP Bilstein Shocks, SLP Eibach Springs, SLP Upgraded Sway Bars, BMR Subframe Connectors, BMR Shock Tower Brace, Polyurethane Engine Mounts, Whisper Air Intake Lid, Hypertech Power Programmer, Flowmaster Exhaust, Glass T-Tops
