As most of you know, I've been looking for a nice Z28 for some time now. Well, yesterday I was looking on the internet at cars and found a 2000 pewter Z28. I test drove it this morning before work and I'm basically sold on it. The only problem with it was the differential was whining, but I told them if they fixed it, I would buy it. So, sometime in the next couple days I'm going to go over to a credit union to see about getting a loan. Hopefully within the next couple weeks I will have a new car.

OMG Adam is so full of himself. Ok, last summer we raced. He has a Probe GT (2500 V6) and I have a Camaro RS (3800 V6). I had him right off the line and kept pulling away from him until third gear. In which the transmission jammed, he caught up and passed me while I was messing around with the gear. Anyway, I got it into gear and started pulling back up to him, but by this time the race was over. So, for the longest time he wouldn't shut up about how he beat me. But recently he brought it back up and added the twist that my car is a slow peice of crap and how his is way faster. Which simply is not true. He's actually talked himself into believing his car is faster. And frankly it's getting annoying...
Since then I have replaced the differential, transmission, and clutch.
He's put in a Venom chip and lightweight seats.
Who do you think will win when we race again?

Well, it looks like I'm going to be adding some body repair and window seals to the list of things I'm going to be fixing on my car this summer. A couple weeks ago during a bad snowstorm, I was coming around the corner to turn into my driveway, so I decided to be "safe" and not pull the E-brake going around the corner so I wouldn't damage my car. What I didn't see was I cut the corner a little too close and side-swiped the ice-covered snowbank on the side of my driveway and I tore off my right side-skirt. It turned out that if I indeed had pulled the E-brake, the back end would have swung clear of the snowbank and I wouldn't have torn the side-skirt off. And then today I took my car to the carwash and discovered that now both of my windows leak, badly... I had a very wet a** driving home.

Ok, my search for a 2002 Z28 turned out to be more fruitful than I had imagined... It turns out my uncle down in Florida is looking to sell his 2002 SS. eek Holy balls, if I can get that from him, he'd give me a good deal on it and I would finally have my LS1 to tinker with... Also this summer me and my grandpa are going to fix a few things on my RS. Things like the 3 different size crappy pipes that are my exhaust system, and we are going to tune up the engine a bit to see if we can't squeeze a few more horses out of the 3800. It's going to be really interesting what we're doing with the exhaust system. We're running 2 sets of pipes, one set runs through a muffler and the other set is pure straight pipe. I'm going to have a control up front that will allow me to switch from straight pipe to muffler at the push of a button (just in case I get pulled over for excessive exhaust).
