-Metco solid lower control arms
-BMR adjustable panhard bar
-Corsa stainless catback with dual 3” tips
-32mm solid front swaybar w/poly busings and endlinks
-1LE rear sway bar w/poly bushings and endlinks
-custom 6pt. chromoly rollbar (NHRA legal) w/rear hoop and bracing

-10 bolt rear w/4.10 gears
-PA tubular K-frame

-Chrome ZR1 wheels: 17x9.5” front, 17x11” rear
-Kumho 712 front tires (80% tread), Nitto drag radials in the rear (need replacing)
-Autometer shift light (small)
-LS1 intake w/stock unported LS1 throttle body!
The car is mechanically perfect. Zero problems, tuned perfectly. It is currently making over 400rwhp right now with the STOCK LS1 intake manifold and STOCK UNPORTED throttle body. I am sure a FAST 90/NW 90 would put this thing in the 440rwhp+ range.
The paint is in good condition, shines well. The front and rear bumper cover have faded slightly and could use paint, but the paint is not peeling and is not an eyesore by any means. The interior is near perfect. No cracks in any plastic, newer carpet out of a 2002 Z28.
The rollbar/subframes/torque arm work was all done by Jamie Miller Race Cars in Wallingford, CT. Its all TIG welded chromoly 1 5/8" tubing. The work is outstanding....not some backyard welder/fabricator. The bill on this work alone was almost $3000
The car is really setup for road course, but the chassis work was done so that the car would not be limited to road or drag. When the car had a cam only LT1 motor, it cut a 1.6 60ft (6spd)….so the torque arm design works VERY well.
The AC is currently the only thing removed from the vehicle. This car is not stripped…..EVERYTHING is in place as it was from the factory (except AC).
