Talking Finally got a car

After months of lurking around these forums and browsing for cars, I finally found my F-body. It's a 98 Z-28 M6 white w/ white leather and only 55,000 miles. Performance wise it's bone stock, even has the damn skip shift but eliminator and short stick are on the way.

Before I get flamed for the SS badges, I know it's not an SS (Z28 badges are already ordered) but it does have the SS wheels that are staying.

Here's a couple pics when it was at the dealer's lot

Damn guys, give me a chance. I just got it yesterday.

Plus, I thought each badge added 75 hp

Nice car congrats!!

What are you going to do about the stain on the driver's seat bolster?

Even though you're taking off the SS badges (good) that car would look even better when you can add the SS rear spoiler. They don't cost much.

Let the mods begin!

Nice find. Love the white leather seats.

Have you seen the old style z28 badges some people have? I think they are hella classy.

i'll personally mail you a dollar if you keep the SS badges and but an "A" in front of it. you'll be the only guy out there with an *** camaro.

Looks nice! I like white Fbods, looked at a couple recently while looking for a new daily driver. Congrats.
