Default MY new ride!!!!

Well its not exactly new but I couldnt stand not having an f-body. Since I sold my 98 T/A

I havent been the same so I broke down and said F&$* it, lol. So here it is:

98 Camaro Z28 M6









Its got 114k on the clock but I couldnt beat the price and man this thing hauls a$$ for being stock. With the few mods that I had done to the T/A this thing would leave in the dust. I think the previous owner knew alittle somethin about these cars b/c its the the free ram air mod and someone descreened the MAF. Also what does this look like to you guys?



Is this something for a nitrous setup? Well anyway take care guys and im back around, woohoo. (Thank god the other forums I've been looking on SUCK!!!)

Looks like a WOT switch for a nitrous kit to me.

Nice car. Gotta love the NBM!

Yup...I bet that car had the **** sprayed out of it.

Nice car none the less...Just one less step for you when you decide to put a kit on. I miss my 99 z ever since I got rid of it.

edit: Yeah they're quick even with miles. The best I got mine to do was 13.4. Only got that once cause my master cylinder was junk and it had a bent shfit fork. That was with 150k miles on it too.

Nice new car Nick. So what are you plans for this car? I remember you wanted to sell your 98 TA (which I now own) because you wanted to move out of your parents house. Did you ever do that?

Naw I got screwed royally in that deal I sold it and then there was a some issues between ownership of the place and well thats a whole other story. I have 1 more year and then my parents house will be up for grabs So I decided to invest in another toy. Im still putting my truck together though but the Z will still be my pride Im just looking to get ZR1's on it and a few other minor bolt ons for the time being (lid, pro 5.0, exhaust) I have to get this truck rolling though.

Before:



As it sits:



Alittle later down the road here im gonna grab another motor and tranny for the Z and stick the current motor and tranny in the truck.
