Way to tease in that 3rd video! I was ready for a clutch drop, a tire smoking fishtail and bang off 3 gears WOT...then you just pull into the driveway....wtf man!

I think you should make a borla-mouth out of it for cheap, you may like it enough not to mess with true duals

I know trust me, it took everything in me not to drop the clutch right there, but the wheels where only held on by the lug nuts. the wheel hub that comes on the moser 12 bolt was barely anything, so I had to have my buddy weld on rings to extend the hub out a bit so the wheel had something to rest in/on.

need help on deciding an exhaust setup for this car. Right now the car has hooker long tubes, hooker ory-pipe, slp loudmouth I. I was thinking about running a borla system after my y-pipe....what do you guys think? Maybe even putting a cut-out in the mid tube.

So the Z is in the body shop, I to have been doing some of the break down of the car so here are some photos I took today of her, and to start off all the problem that were on the body.



damn arm that the frame of the car rests on snapped causing the car to smash down on the arm of the lift goes under the car.

some photos from the body shop, new front bumper cover and SS hood tested fitted. they looked pretty good without even making any adjustments, obviously some do need to made.

Love it, nice job. What a beautiful car that will be when you are done. I actually liked the body kit. Are you going to put it back on?
