    I really like all the car, without pissing on your bonfire at all. The blue & tan go well together, and I don't see that much of a problem with the steering wheel?

    Just get some nice rims on there!

    I bet it sounds like a frickin' beast into the bargain. You got yourself a sweet catch, wish I could find some of the ones they sold here for a short while.

    Have fun with it, and don't kill yourself in it.

    P.S. Does the handbrake cable need tightening?

    Great car, a manual to i'd just try and change that stearing wheel to, and the rims, the rest looks great

    I've always had a thing for these Camaro's I don't really know why, I'm sure you'll have such fun with it but god man, change the steering wheel! Looking forward to some videos with the noise the thing makes!

    speedy_2, that one lovely looking Camaro. I've never been much into these type of cars, but yours does look really-really good.

    No matter how hideous the steering wheel or original radio, keep them both - do not do any mods whatsoever. Not modified original Camaro with manual gearbox is a very rare sight (at least on this side of the pond), I would definitely keep it that way.

    I do have couple of questions about your car:

    Are the rear seats useable ?

    Howcome your oil pressure gauge reads zero (the ignition is apparently turned on)?

    I just noticed that it doesn't have the two hood vents the previous years of z28 had. It looks like they did that in 98 and on. Wonder why! They looked kinda nifty.


    My friend had a z28 and it got the crap beat out of it by some rednecks one night while he was sleeping.

    $8,700 is a hell of a deal. Internet seller I presume? Best way to go every time.
    I paid $17,000, it was right on the blue book for a 2001 WS6, almost perfect condition, 34K miles, 6 speed.

    -1 thats no fun. He already has a hanful of mods anyway.
    I do have couple of questions about your car:

    Ill let him answer for himself from his own POV, but you can easily fit small children or girls in the back.

    car is turned on, engine is not running.

    Slicks answered most of your questions as I would've. Rear seat is ok for kids or small people. Still hard to get out of. I don't usually have anyone with me, so it's not a concern.

    looks good dude.

    did you get the slp treatment yourself or did you buy it with it? slp intakes and stuff i think only came with the ss, not the z28 so someone musta put it on which is pretty sweet because although slp is super expensive, its also the best.

    Perhaps on Gran Turismo, but in the real world it takes a good bit of after market muscle for these to hit 175.
