Adding a Few Goodies to my Z/28

[Supercup]

Here are a few photos since I got my car back this week. In addition to the list noted at the top, I also switched out the rear bowtie with a black one. For anyone interested the black one I used it is what comes standard on the 2017 ZL1 - I ordered from my dealer for $50.

Also one of the nice things about these belts from Schroth is the are both DOT compliant (so legal to wear on street) and FIA compliant so legal for the track. That is why it has the red buttom instead of a cam lock for the release of the belts.

That was the most fun I had running down the highway west out of Tulsa County burnishing my brakes one Sunday about 5 AM, after about 35 runs to 80 then braking to 0 w/o activating ABS, the brakes were done, and smoking. As I went to turn around in Wagoneer County about 16 to 17 miles out from the house a Oklahoma HP ..who had gone by me when I was burnishing the brakes, flips on his lights, and pulled up beside me with his window down.

He says, do you know your brakes are smoking? They had about 3 to 4 miles of cooing, and I said I'm cooling m ceramic brakes after track burnishing them.. I begged off, as he was just wondering what I was doing. My brakes don't squeal now, and its night and day from when they weren't burnished.

I will post if I find the receipt - right now I can't find it.

If you go to dealer and order the rear bow tie for 2017 ZL1 this is what you will get. It does not say it is black on the screen, but it is.

Looks good. What's the part number on the rear black bow tie?

Did you pump the seat all the way down?, i know when i first got the car the seat was too high for me to be comfortable, when we did that we got the seat lower, to where it was at the right spot, after that it was a lot more fun to drive.

Yes thanks for the thought, but I do have it pumped all the way down, still only an inch or so of headroom without a helmet on. Looking out through the top 1/4 of the windshield. Works but not ideal.

I have gotten used to it but still would like an lower base, but hate to give up the comfortable seat and the adjustable nature which allows others to drive car and be comfortable as well. Will live with it for now.
