Ive been driving the Z28 all day. Got a Lid for it, put that on and it feels a little stronger. For 160K miles it pulls like its brand new. The body is straight, I replaced the tie rod ends and all the hoses and belts/oil change tranny fluid change ETC. I kind of want to trade it for a manual F body though. If not, it's gonna end up with a stall and tranny cooler and full bolt ons because its just not that fun without it.

Im headed to the junkyard tomorrow to find sunvisors and hopefully a new driver's seat

Dad sent me a link for a GS job just now. Gottta check it out, starting at GS5, which sucks (without locality, $7 pay cut), but its an internship that moves up to gs7/9/11. The 11 with years of service would be good. Plus awesome govt benefits.

With 16% locality, looks to be a $5 pay cut at step 1. If I could get my time put in back from when I was a 4, and start as a step 3, that would only be about $4 less, but in a cheaper cost of living area, plus other perks.

Anybody know where to get a center mount valence for a decent price? Picked up the center mount exhaust for $100 locally.

Nvm. The guy found the valance. Just picked up a perfect condition valance and cme for $100. Score.

Just found out about edx.org

Take online classes from Harvard, MIT, and Berkeley for free

Sounds pretty awesome and I'm going to try it out

Looks pretty cool. Do any of the courses count towards anything or is basically just a free online audit?

Doubt it transfers for college credit, but you print out a certificate saying that you completed such and such course I believe. Don't quote me as I don't know. Either way, for guys in science fields (most of which this applies to) I could see this being a benefit to show to employers, talk about on resumes, etc. etc.

That might change your roll sweetspots a bit. Whats your trans? Where do you make your torque at in the RPM range?

Whats it look like to you guys?

I was told this was an LT1. Its been converted to carbed, but... idk. Didn't look like an LT1 to me. I was also told it was an 8 second car by the owner (which I believe was told to him by the previous owner)... so much for being told things. No disrespect intended to the owner, but I don't think someone was straight forward with that 8 second claim. Shops also got some tiny import with dual webber setup on a 4 banger and they claim its a 10 second car. I've seen it open it up in first gear without a single peep out the tires and looking like it was going nowhere absolutely fast.

I understand the allure of a 10 second car... but why the B.S? Why not race it first and come back with slips before you call it a x second car? /rant

In unrelated news, ran a black G35 in NJ... into the ground. Puppies... Puppies everywhere.

Definitely not an LT. The plug wires route to the back of the motor to a real distributor. Probably another mid 80s truck motor with a "big cam". lol We get a lot of those around here........I still say it's a 2nd gen...
