I still have plans to get a black 91-92 z28 in the future and swap in a nice h/c lsx motor of some kind (who knows what will be around by then). I would rather have a nice black 92 z with a h/c ls1 and a 6 speed than my current car. I think they look great, especially with some different rims. Just laugh at the mullet comments...who gives a damn.

come on now, lets not pick on thr thirdgen's, if you give the car to a redneck then yes they can look very white trash but i can assure you mine does not.

I envy you both.
You put the 91-92 z28 wing on your 86 iroc? I bet your car also has the unique 3rd brake light also if it is an 86.
The car in that pic would be exactly what I would want with a 400-500 rwhp lsx motor and a 6 speed. I even like that hood. I had the same one picked out when I used to own a 92 RS that had the 305 tbi 170 horsepower monster...I was scared to race just about anyone with that car...but it was a nice first car I guess.

Bring your car to texas...ill race ya!!...I wont claim mine will win, but there is always a missed shift, shifting too early...etc...My C6 put down 370 RWHP and wieghed 3150 at the track. (and yes, Ive got the fastest stock c6 time on the corvette forum right now at a 12.23@115). I can be a *****, but I know there are plenty of cars out there that will beat me...but it doesnt stop me from trying!! LOL...(and Ive won some races I thought I would lose, due to miscues by the other drivers)...I dont think ill race for pinks unless you wanna run from 160-186...I think i got ya there due to aerodynamics!!

Street Lethal...that does sound like a real good idea. Ill have too look for a 305 5 speed car so it would make the swap a lot easier.
If they do total it...I will try and just buy it back from them if the price isnt too outrageous. Then just sell all the parts and stuff and make a little bit more of a profit off of doing that so I dont go in the hole too bad.
Ill think about it for a while and see what happens...maybe ill look through auto trader for some options. The engine, tranny and rear are all in excellent condition...so they are swap worthy.
What I am also thinking about doing is just buying a beater and start saving my money from the cash I get from this and buy a new camaro when they come out.

On TGO (Click Here), you'll find endless information covering the entire swap. I know members that ran mid twelve second quarter mile times with just the "stock" LS1 installed, and can only imagine what you'll be running when you finish the swap. Elevens are a given...
Go for it!

My brother had a 91 RS 5.0 TBI 5 Speed, in Metallic Blue w/ Tops.
That car was nice.
He now has a 1987 Anniversary Iroc-Z in Black with the L98, and he never drives it.
When those cars are clean and taken care of, they sure are good looking cars no doubt.
Plus the fact, they feel awesome behind the wheel, they come with 700R4's, and you can put a large motor under the hood quite easily.
I like 3rd Gens, GTA's are my favorite.

-and-
2.) really chilled guys that just like working on cars and all around love the exhiliration of driving
there's really no in between. if you've noticed, the guys that work on their car themselves, regularly attend car shows and hit up the track on friday nights are usually cool guys. the ones with knowledge understand that any car can lose and you can be running 8's on the street, someone out there will beat you eventually. there's no in between with guys like us. we will either go out of our way to help you and give you a thumbs up whether we win or lose or make excuses when we lose and flip you the bird for your troubles.
it ain't the corvette, it's the drivers. you'll just find more ****** in a corvette because guys with money and no knowledge drive them. most people think 13's is fast. personally, i think it's nice, but nothing to brag about.

The cocky rich guys like that I think tend to think in term's of I'm either superior or inferior. They have self esteem issues, They need money or car's to make them self's feel better about them self’s instead of just being comfortable with them self’s or who they are. There’s a guy that owns a Vett in my town that has that attitude. He was bragging outside a bar all about his car to someone and then he turned to look in my direction he caught me with a smirk on my face. He didn’t say anything; he probably thought I was just jealous. Little does he know I could afford to buy ten of those cars if I really wanted to.

Now reality is, with your mods you would kick his butt. The auto(unmodded) is very slow for a 400 hp car. It only has a 2:73 rear end. If we were stereotyping here, we would assume then all vettes are slow. If he had a C6 Z51 6spd with the 3:42's then that's a different story. Send him my way and I will tear him a new one and bring him back to reality!!

sorry to dig up a somewhat old post, but coming from a family that is into fbods and vettes, i know how it can be. i personally have my 95 camaro(ls1 swapped in and under the knife once again), my truck, and a 72 vette. then my dad has a 76 vette, and my brother has a 77,80, and a 93. but he usually drives his 85 iroc. but we have had so many people tell my brother and i before that the vettes(sorry to say but is well known in them times to be rather slow) can outrun both his iroc and my camaro. we just laugh it off and walk away.
but i live right outside the biggest retirement community known as the villages and there isnt a day that goes by that i dont see two fist fulls of late model vettes. and its the same thing, they talk **** when at the car shows and in parking lots and everything, but no matter what, u cant get any of them to race. they just laugh at ya. there is an old guy here and there that will race ya, but 95% of them will sit there and talk them up about how they can beat anything and not have a clue about the cars. i asked one guy at a show a few months ago what he had done(all i could see was headers and exhaust) and he said he didnt know. so me being the smart *** i am, i asked him if it was an lt1 or ls1 and once again. he didnt know.
it just sucks in this area, you see all these vettes and 95% of them dont have a damn clue of what they are capable of. hell, even for that matter how to change the damn oil in them.
