Default My Z28 is DEAD..............
While cruising today my throttle got caught on my HAI's hose clamp! Spinning and banging second (not that it was really going anywhere) bouncing off the 5800rpm rev limiter I quickly shut it off. I heard a zzzzzzzzzz before cut off, sitting, wondering why in the hell I still have this car! I started it only to get a steady idle at threequater throttle and a faint metal on metal sound?
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGG GGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@#$%%^%^&&**()(*& ^%$$##@@ this car!!!!!!!

The "HAI" combined with "THe Honken Cam" was the best thing that ever happened to this thing!
