Hey all..well my name is Sarah and I live in Saint Petersburg Florida. I have a 84' z-28 Camaro 8cylinder auto with a 305. My boyfriend has a 97 z-28 camaro 8-cylinder manual. He is looking for a new one but his linit is $10,000. Is anyone selling?

OHMYGOD another girl....HI!

lol, dont mind the locals, theyre harmless but somewhat estrogen deprived. welcome to the forum non-the less.

as far as your boyfriends shopping, what is it that he's looking for? anything in particular? like does he want another Z or is he looking for a daily driver like an RS?

Sounds to me like he is looking for something LS1 powered. Anything newer than a 1997 is LS1 powered, as you know.
At least that is how I understood her post.

Greetings! :wave:

Welcome

welcome

Welcome Sarah and check out www.autotrader.com (http://www.autotrader.com) I am sure he will be able to find something.

:iagree:

Welcome noob

You realize SG007 is a girl right?


Sarah, welcome to AF... what years/engines is your boyfriend considering? Since you said a newer one than a 97 I am thinking an LS1 z28?

You realize SG007 is a girl right?


haha IROC's a bit slooooww... :grinno:

Erik isnt slow, he just hasnt been here in a while.

no, he's slow :p

:angryfire Hey that's my boy you're talkin' 'bout! He's takes care of old Earl when the nights get chilly. :boink: :puke:

Welcome, but please realize that we post in jest quite often. With that being said I have a bad ass (not kidding) 70 Z28 with a 454 and a 4 speed that I'd be willing to let go for $20,000 clams (kinda not kidding). great shape, just needs a person who's a little more mechanically inclined to straighten a few things up! (Totally not kidding... everytime a mechanaprick looks at it I have to take out a new home-equity loan.)

Seriously, welcome, have fun. Oh and don't say anything except that mustangs are the coolest cars in the world when you see a guy named GTStang... he's totally schizo about anyone saying mustangs suck. (He can't handle the truth.)

well since u are in my area i may be able to help u out and your boyfriend out in that area, im in tampa and i belong to a f body club that is sposored by our shop (which is an f body shop). we have people selling cars fot that price all the time, if u p.m. me ill give u some info. if u were in here a few months ago he could have got a 99 ss with 46000 miles on it for 10k. guy was in our club and in the airforce, and his wife had a baby and had to sell the car with nothing wrong with it at all, he just wanted the money towards a mini van...smh. maybe we can find u something like that..

hello!!!! I have the best car here. Dont let these fools tell you otherwise.

but is it the fastest??? lol

lol

yes....dot dot dot...

What does Earl'sfat run?

Just curious cause there was that turbo LS1 guy who posted that I am sure is damn quick. I would think he would be the fastest.

What do they always say? It's not how fast it is, it's how you drive it...teehee

well when im done with my new project ill show everyone whats fast....lol

well when im done with my new project ill show everyone whats fast....lol

Philly's shaking his fist in the air... "I'LL SHOW THEM" :p

sounds like speed envy to me :dunno:

well when im done with my new project ill show everyone whats fast....lol
Better have boost, or a bottle. :icon16:

I think I might be up there for street driven N/A cars.

Welcome! Didn't know SG007 was a girl... i guess i'm slow too. Everyone knows my 305 is the fastest! 305ci = 305mph!!

305ci = 305mph!!


haha i fricken WISH... :grinno:

Who you tellin!

As of right now though, who is the fastest in here ?. How much power was that turbo LS1 guy pushing again?. Just curious to see who's got the biggest set out of the bunch.

well when im done with my new project ill show everyone whats fast....lol

I'm designing a railgun type launching system for my camaro. Similiar to what NASA has in mind for space shuttles... If I ever get it worked out I will show you a thing or two about speed.

Its gonna be ugly though... There wont be any paint on the sides. The cockpit will be surrounded in insulating materials, both for electric charge and heat. The sides are going to have to be flat... its gonna be ugly but fast enough to out run a 22. were talking sub 1s here.

i think he had 408hp in his sig, he said that it added 100+hp with 8lbs boost. i think he might have said that he was thinking about building up his engine for 15lbs of boost, or at least he was talking about it

408, was that wheel?. Cause if its crank. I have more than that.

i'm just goin off what i remember, 408hp 435tq, he had it all in his sig but i don't remember his handle. i think he said he added 130hp so it might be at the wheels

Shouldn't it be you Formula? You said you can break the tires loose in the triple digits, right? You gots like 500hp+, right?

im gonna have the fastest ride, im gonna stuff a 502 big block in there im gonna have it bore and stroked to 550cid and im gonna run like 35 psi on my turbos + im gonna have my car custom done in carbon fiber, wanna see fast? my car will disintagrate on takeoff.

y'all will probably call bs on this but it's true, i know a guy with a 95 lt1 that i'm gonna try to get to join the site, he said that the only thing he didn't change about his engine was the block. it's got about 475-500 hp, and he said he built it to handle a 300 shot but he's only gonna run a 200. if he gets on here it's gonna be hard to beat. i'll try to get the specifics of what he did, it's a straight nasty ride.

I said nearly up to tripple digits but but I also said its mostly from the shift kit, on down shifts it spins them real easy pretty far up but I am sure I don't have more than 500 horse, I have pretty close though. Estimating on my current set up. I should have between 475 - 485 at the flywheel. Probably like 400 or so at the wheels.

Eh....bottle.

I believe it, I have forged internals on a 383 4 bolt main LT1 and its right around there although I wouldn't touch that much nos maybe half that.

i know i ain't gonna ride in it when he gets it hooked up to the bottle, that thing about gave me a heart attack last time i rode in it

its stryker ss

407rwhp/429rwtq
13.71 @103 mph (before turbo)

^thats whats in his sig, btw the front of his car looks like a neon :S

Eh....bottle.
With your new set up , you will probably be the fastest then but I am sure there is someone in here that can take me. I have seen some worked cars posted in here. Like Willy for those of you that remember him, he had some worked cars.

damn! i was off by 1 on the hp and 6 on the torque, so close

Well depending on what else he has done, that could be a driver race between the two of us. I also have some drivetrain goodies he may not have.

Oh no, I might be fastest street trim N/A, but not overall the fastest. I can see it being up there though.
Hell, it did alright before the swap. Just needed a tune to find that 400 RWHP mark.

Either way, there are some quick cars. DarkblueTA posts every now and again, and I think he is running a T76 on his car. Should be 650 RWHP there.


EDIT: My goal is to be running again by the 11th. Just an FYI. There is a cruise out here I want to attend. Good break-in time.

You are using carbon fiber to save weight? On my rail gun car I don't even need an engine!! Think of all the weight I'm saving!

so how are you gonna get your camaro to this rial gun? or are you just gonna tow the rail gun with your camaro?

Well despite some of you not liking his car and being this is from the firebird forum this guy http://www.schwartzperformance.com/ygen.htm is definetly a contender

yea i saw all your videos on that site in your sig, that thing looked pretty nasty before. you must go through tires like i go through oreos

Thanks.

And only if I want to. :lol:

now everyone in here knows im the spoksperson for the bottle, im addicted. the engine should break over 400hp with no problem before we get it in the car. and since im building it for big shots of spray im sure it will do just fine. hell i got the 6 running up on ls1's so i know im about to be stupid with one. guys i just may kill myself.....

The bottle works just fine. Just not my way of making power.

hell i could have a 900hp car and would spray it just to go faster....i think im a junkie...help me guys i need help. but i know alot of guys who feel the same as u do, and alot of guys dont trust nitrouse, but as time goes on more and more people come around. it always starts when u have that magic number u wanna hit and u are just 40-60 hp away, and then it hits u, a small 75 shot can get me there....then after u do that u start uping the juice....

I am all about compromise. I want a car that has ample power to rip up the strip on its own steem and can take you on a 2 hour drive without overheating and without sucking down gas like a alki.

Damn, we all reallly need to meet up before we get old and ragidty(sp). I would love to see everyone's car, you guys have some mean shits. Formula, your car is done or are you still getting stuff done to it? Same for u Lous.

I just finished up the subframes. Got them tack welded today and I bought a jacobs pro street system but haven't installed it yet and I have a cowl ram air hood sitting in the garage that I was suppose to get painted like a month ago and at some point within the next year, I am going to be adding a small charger (like 4.5 - 6 PSI, nothing too massive) then I am done and will start my other project.

whats a jacobs pro street system?

Nevermind that didn't work, JAC-372546 . Thats the summit parts number

oh, its ignition stuff, like msd, only its jacobs.

60K volts to the plugs. MSD doesn't do that.

i donno, i never even got that far planning for my vehicle

wow...yous guys sure do post alot...on every other forum that im in ppl sure dnt post that much..but I guess its a good thing...any ways..I just wanna thank you guys for helping me and my boyfriend out..hes looking for somttihneither a 93 or newer...doesnt have to be a ls1 although thats what he'd like...and it has to be a 8-cylinder manual.

id like an ls1 but i can afford it, right now i can barely afford a 3k car :( gotta settle for 93-97 prob will have to be a v6 to :(

93-97 V8 is an LT1 98-02 its an LS1, just to clear it up. Also whats wrong with posting? Its all good, better than some parts of these forums where its a death valley.

Wait wait wait...i never said anything about posting being a bad thing..I think its a good thing. I just said that in some other forums, like it takes forever for people to post something so that being said I think that posting is a very good thing...and thanks for clearing up about the LS1 and LT1. Any ways..im not sure what he's going to do..now he's thinking about keeping the camaro he has and getting a jeep because he loves going mudding. So i have no clue..I'll leave that one up to him. lol

I know what she means. Over at thirdgen.org, they barely respiond to your posts sometimes, but here, us bo-zo's are always on to help the needy or agrivate one another. Formula, that kit is really good for the price, would it work with my car aswell, i was looking into getting some ignition stuff, but that there is very good for the pirce.

Alot of the TGO bunch are a bit stuck on themselves and have attitudes.

Any ways..im not sure what he's going to do..now he's thinking about keeping the camaro he has and getting a jeep because he loves going mudding. So i have no clue..I'll leave that one up to him. lol


hell ya, my kinda dude. that's the best combo to have, camaro and jeep. (check the sig if ya didn't know)

Nate, the f****** tires are huge!! I bet that shit is fun when your in the mud with it.

yea take the doors and top off, take the carpet and speakers out (all takes like 30min). from there you take dirt add water and get muddy :bananasmi

I bet that jeep can climb mountains better than stallone in cliffhanger.

if he wants a TJ (96-present, round headlights) lifted with big ol tires on it, tell him to buy one that is close to what he wants cause it's way more expensive to do it yourself and it kills resale value. if he want a YJ(before-95, square headlights, like mine) tell him to look into a spring over axle conversion, if he's good with tools and a welder he can get from 8 to 12 inches of lift for like 300-600 dollars depending on what he's looking for
edit: also if he wants to go offroad, it'll be a lot more fun in 6cyl than 4 banger. and if he goes the YJ route be cautious of the peugot tranmissions, they can have a lot of problems. if you get one though make sure it shifts pretty easy and make sure that there's not very much if any grinding when you try to get it in a gear.

Screw a jeep, get a Hummer or H3. BUT not H2, those are too big.

I'm a sport cars guy but those new H3 are off the chain. Beatiful Tail Lights

Word, it think i will be picking up one of those.

Screw a jeep, get a Hummer or H3. BUT not H2, those are too big.

M1A1 Abrams.... If you can't climb over it, blast it the hell out of the way.

h3's look funny, and a h2 is smaller than a h1. its not that big at all the first hummer was the big boy. and a A1 is going a bit over the edge dont u think? hell u could drive that tank through a damn building lol

oh and i forgot what is that car between your jeep and camaro, it looks like a boxter

M1A1 Abrams.... If you can't climb over it, blast it the hell out of the way.

Well if you're gonna go might as well go all out, get the upgrade to the M1A2 test out the 120mm smoothbore cannon on that baby... :naughty:

If you're gonna do it at all, do it right the first time baby.

smh... :disappoin

Well despite some of you not liking his car and being this is from the firebird forum this guy http://www.schwartzperformance.com/ygen.htm is definetly a contender

the only thing that guy really has on me is the nitrous... i have very very similar mods to him... both running small blocks, even tho his has more displacement i think we both put out about the same at the flywheel... plus him and i both have 3.42 gears...

Philly, what does smh mean?

I would assume Shaking My Head...

smh = shaking my head, and yea, thats a boxter there his dad owns it along with the yellow jeep.

Aight, makes since now.

smh = shaking my head, and yea, thats a boxter there his dad owns it along with the yellow jeep.

yep that's right, suprised you remembered that viper. i know i said that i'd have pics of it but i kinda got stuck in coal town wva, frat parties are addictive. but that's neither here nor there, i'll can go take them now, if anyone wants to see it, and post them here in like 10 minutes or think i should start a new thread?

thats sweet. can your camaro beat your dads car? and yes shaking my head smh....people ask me that all the time... im an old school aol chat room addict. see back before cell phones were everywhere and everyone had beepers, aol was where u met up with your friends and chated all damn night lol. funny because it wasnt that long ago at all

i can get the boster for like 1 sec out the hole and then it's just gone, and against the yellow jeep i just get smoked

damn, thats a fast little car huh

i can get the boster for like 1 sec out the hole and then it's just gone, and against the yellow jeep i just get smoked

just make a new thread, and im not gonna forget since you called the yellow jeep a mustang cruncher... so i will remember that for a lil while.

it's only got 201 hp, but it's feels and runs like its got a lot more. the handling in that car is nuts though, takes turns like a champ

I heard ferrari's only have around that number horsepower too.


BTW- one of my buddies has a jeep (YJ i believe) with a ford v8 in it. That thing is pretty mean.. Course it also has an air horn that will make you go deaf.

Air horns are the SHIT!

Air horns are the SHIT!

that's so f-ing random that it's halarious. jeeps with v8 are pretty nasty off road though. me and a couple guys i go muddin with play this game where we roll all the windows down and for 5 minutes, whoever has the least mud on them at the end wins, and everyone else buys beer and/or white lightning(my fav choice). i've got the boggers, but my friend's got a bronco with a big block so it's about even. if i had the money for a v8 swap right now i'd be tearin that bronco a new one.

Well they are..I love air horns..

Hey all...well my boyfriend has a jeep now..(as well as his camaro) its a 92 jeep cherokee laredo. He wants something that he doesnt have to keep working on..he's really good like with all that mechanical stuff but he has been doing it for a while and he's sick of it now. He just had to buy a new muffler, radiator, rear main, oil pump, he put 5% tint on it and theres more to come...he says that its going to need a new motor soon which isnt good but oh well...thats what ya get for paying $900 for a jeep i guess... so basically the story is that he was going to sell his jeep and buy another camaro or a newer jeep but he couldnt decide on wether he liked the mud or the speed better so he's keeping his jeep, putting a 4 or 5 inch lift on it (dnt know the tire size) and hes just going to invest his money in the jeep so this way he can go muddin and still have his camaro. Ill see if i can figure out how to put a picture of the jeep on here..its nice looking for only $900....
Sarah....p.s..thanks guys and gals.

oooo, you meant suv jeep. i thought you meant like a wrangler. don't know much about cherokees, cept some have V8's and some don't. is he sure he wants it that high, they look pretty top heavy when they start to get up around 5in? is he gonna do it all through a suspension lift of a body lift?

:iagree:

I dont like SUV jeeps..
