new Screen name.
I havent even taken pics of the car yet, i dont notice any unnatural valvetrain noises, it just seems to run abnormally well for just having full exhaust and an intake. It doesnt sound cammed by any means, i just figured it maybe a baby cam thats hardley noticible.

TSP Lt's, ORX, Corsa Touring Catback, Shortened Stock Shifter, Halltech Stinger intake (w/ hole for nitrous, but i bought the intake used and it came with the hole. The car never had nitrous through it as I had a bad (expensive) issue with my 1st z06 and nitrous). Car ran a best of 12.3 at ennis on street tires. I have tons of pics of it the car. Oh, and its lowered on stock bolts.

That alpine is actually GMChammers lol. I forgot about it having HID's. the car also had an Alping 500/5 Amp in the back, focal speakers, all through out.

Gotta be the same car. They must have put new tires on the rear though, i had OEM super cars. They're polished z16 wheels. And yes on the rest of it

Also, why does it feel like the front end is lifting at higher speeds, is there not a front sway on it? I forgot to check the first time i lifted it...
the handling doesnt feel up to par for a z06 (oppinion) so no cam, headword?

the suspension is all there its just been lowered. I autocrossed it a few times so it should handle just like any other z06. I'm not one for drag racing.
I dont think i ever had it over 150mph so at what speed do you feel the front end lifting?

I know it was in a wreck, but it was before I bought it so I dont have any details on that.

I had full suspension, falken azenies, strut and sway bars, harness bar etc in my civic hatch. It was also swapped so hitting 130 was not hard at all. The car just feels like it has sporadic lane changes, etc. You go for a slight lane change, and the car dives into the next lane really hard. I just didnt expect it to feel like that. Guess thats normal then... my uncle gary had a z06 and i dont recall it feeling like that.
And for the "how fast have i taken it"
Im the black z06 that raced the big turbo STI and evo till 175ish in the Cinemark video. hah, so i guess 175ish?

I picked it up for 25,888.
I feel i got a good deal, as it pretty freaking quick!
I cant wait for h/c/i and like a 50 shot or so...
I also totally hate black, my last car was black. I REALLY wanted a silver Z, but this was like a damn good deal, so i snatched it up.

High performance cars also have more responsive steering, especially at higher speeds. They actually take a little bit of driver skill, your Civic didn't
