The heart wants what it wants.

I'm actually not getting the Z/28 to replace anything, and there are other special cars in the pipeline for me. It's just a car that made me extremely joyful every time I drove it so I wanted it back in my life, and if something makes you happy it doesn't matter that it's not the most expensive or most highly regarded thing by others.

I wrote a little tldr thread back in the day when I bought the Z07 ... I think it probably explains my feelings better, and if you skip towards the end, it was somewhat predictive in regards to one day getting back into one: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=392348

Awesome to see another Z/28 in the area. My white Z makes it over to the Mt. P/Daniel Island area from time to time. I'm thinking about going to Cars and Coffee at the Mount P Towne Centere this coming Saturday if you are interested. Would be awesome to see another Z/28 out there.

Hi,

So my Z/28 doesn't get to me till early next week, thus I can't bring it to C&C this coming Saturday. I'm out of town until Friday evening but if I get motivated I might bring another car, or if you shoot me a PM any other week I'm happy to meet up with you with the Zs another Saturday.

FFS?

Not to hijack, but are you sure? My car is lowered on the DSE speed 1 kit and it looks like it has exactly the same amount of wheel gap as this car... and it certainly looks lower than a stock Z/28.

That car has to be lowered... and I want to know how?
I have always felt mine sits just a little to high.

I will be googling DSE speed 1 kit in a few minutes. few minutes later.... That kits isnt made for the Z28 its for SS. It might effect the track performance. :(

I regularly track mine and I've got the speed 1 kit + some other stuff and it has been working great. Ride quality is slightly quality is as good as stock, and track performance was definitely not adversely affected.

The kit was actually recommended to me by a guy that raced a 2014 Z/28 in the Optima Ultimate Street Car series with Showtime Motorsports. Showtime had two Z/28s - a black one with JRI coilovers, and a white one with stock DSSV and the speed 1 kit from DSE. Both cars performed better than stock in their testing.
