Got the Z28 on the road..

And it went pretty good.

There's one squeek on the outside near my front fender that I have to locate, but thats about it. It's basically turned into a restoration now, I've replaced everything motor wise, cooling, brakes, suspension, and other little things here and there. Still gotta do bodywork and paint now.

And don't ask me how fast it was.... I still gotta break the motor in But it does got alot of low end grunt at least, push the pedal down 1" and the tires are up in smoke.

In a few weeks after the motor is broken in, I'm gonna make an appointment at NEDyno and get some numbers.

PS: the car hasn't been on the road in over 2 years

LMAO @ the Quest Racing thing...but me and my dad did the work ourselves.

The first year the car just hung around, and this past year is when we did all the work to it. I wanted it ready for summer so I guess I accomplished something

Yep it feels sweet

Good question... I went to Midas today, along with a ton of other shops, none of them would bend any pipe (I have no clue why). I just needed to bend one pipe so I could have the left tip exit the same way the right tip exits.

So I went to Autozone, bought some straight pipe and chrome slashcut's and put those on for now.... It looks good but I can't wait to put the 4th gen tips on. Hopefully in a couple weeks they'll be on and I'll have some pics.

PS I'll probably be dynoing at the dyno day if its in July.
