I'll probably get crucified for this.... LOL

So I did something a few months ago, and you aren't going to like it. :)

I bought a 1994 Camaro Z28 with a 383 Stroker motor and a built Auto Trans. The T-bird has been up for sale for a while now, but nobody has even came by to take a look at it. I need to fix the power seats and its good to go for its new owner.

Here's the bad part: I love the Camaro. It pulled a 12.92 at 107 at Great Lakes DW last Friday, and did it on street tires.

Heres some pics for reference......

I almost hate to ask, but what do you guys think? :)

Needs lowered just a tad...

Not my first choice, but hell, not a bad lookin' ride. I'd hit it.

It's good looking car. I dig the Vette wheels and the 383 is icing on the cake. Nice ride.

Never been a fan personally, but whatever blows your skirt up.

No hate here. When I first read the headline I thought great another Ford got a chevy transplant. Nice looking Camaro, those wheels look good on it. A buddy of mine has one simular to it and they are quick cars.

Looks OK, Ive never really liked that spoiler. I like Chevys, I have no hate for a Camaro, much better than a Dodge.

Side note...... I think the Tbird in your sig looks much, MUCH better.

I just like cars in general (hell I daily drive a Silverado and have a '72 Chevelle) so I approve.

The thing I didn't like about my old (1980) Camaro was the car was so big for having such a tiny rear seat and trunk. It just seemed like such a waste of space. My wife liked driving it, though. 305 4-speed. She's a gear-head, too.

Yours looks nice in the pics!

Its completely a waste of space! LOL

I just wanted a summer car to drive the snot out of. This car has never seen snow or salt, and rarely seen rain. There's not a spot of rust on it either. I'm not a huge fan of the wheels really, mostly because the tires are absolutely retarded expensive. I'm running a 285/35/ZR18 out back, so not too many options for good tires. Its got a few rattles, but honestly its quieter inside than my Turbo Coupe. I had to do an Optispark a week and a half after I bought it....... so I now know the engine more than I ever wanted to.

Here are the specs on it:

LT1 383 Stroker

GM847 Cam .539/.558 234/242 112LSA
42lb SVO Injectors
Eagle Crank, Eagle Rods
SRP Forged Pistons
1.6 Roller Rockers
Comp Springs
LPE CAI
Pacesetter Longtubes
Full Exhaust
PCMforless tune
Fully Built 4L60E Auto trans, kevlar clutch packs, Transgo shift Kit
Updated timing cover for a fully VENTED optispark
Single 3" cutout (I need a switch for the electric, but for now its just a removable plate.)

Not bad for 5K..... I mean, its a driver, not a show car. The clearcoat has some minor issues, and there are a couple of door dings here and there The T-bird just has a lot of work that needs to be done.... and I've lost interest.

I try not to hate any car without a good reason, but most of the people I've met with 82-02 camaro's acted like total douche bags...dunno if it's the rule but even my own supervisor who has a 94 auto v6 acts like his car is the fastest thing ever...bashes me for my car being an auto...and a ford. oh god the ford comments are getting old...I can't wait to tell him to shove his car right up his.....

But it's a good lookin car, better shape then most of the ones I see on the road...other than the trailer queens.

Nice Camaro... but I want your TC instead. What year did they go to the LSx motors? Those years are FAST stock cars.
