nice man, Glad you like it, what set up are you running?
(just a thought I think it would look much sleeker if you took that body kit off, either way its about what you like. You'll never have a car everybody loves unless your name is Nineball)

Lots of exterior mods (what's under the hood?), most of the guys on here will tell you to get rid of the skirts, anyway congrats on your new ride.

I'm glad you got a ls1 but it's a mutt it's a cross between a Trans am,SS ,and Corvette!(ohh yeah and a civic with that bodykit!) I hope you take it back to a Z28 nice Turbo System how much boost are you running 5 or 8 psi??

all you have to do is learn to drive it, the old owner couldnt drive it for squat. please do yourself a favor and at least loose the hood, the gfx might look ok with a cowl hood. congrats on the new ride either way.

+1, that style hood only belongs on a WS6. Does not go with contours of the car. Other than that damn nice rice, wish I had a turbo.

prolly runs well with that turbo, but lose the hood and ground effects. Wheels too, C6 wheels look terrible on our cars, ZR1's is where its at.

eh... different doesn't always equal good lol. I actually think it looks just fine minus the hood. The body kit is actually very subtle compared to most other ones (Ive seen some pretty horrid... horrid things doen to F-Bodies on the road haha). An SS hood... a small cowl hood... the base hood... all are gonna compliment your Z28 so much better.

And well.. as a TA owner... thats OUR hood lol.

hey thats funny u say i couldnt drive worth a **** but i beat a 03 gsxr 600 and i beat a 2006 gsxr 600 but i guess i cant drive haha... hey i know some of yous dont like the hood the gfx kit and the rearmount turbo but its just a Z28 so yea whatever everyone has there own taste... the car is making 500rwhp and 535rwtq it was done by billy at texas rear turbo the car has 7.5psi.. o yea when i started modding the car i had no intentions in making it a 1/4 car so i got no track times but before the turbo i was running 12.8 on street tires so yea. i might just go wit a 2003 cobra whipple wooo F T W lol idk yet im leaning towards it...
