I had a few F-Body's

My first car was a 83 Camaro Z28 with a GM performance Crate 350 and Th350 with a Shiftkit and 3.73 gears, Sometimes I wish I never sold it since the guy I sold it to parked it and then junked it a few years later .

Then I replaced my 83 with a 94 Z28, That I had bought at a police auction for 5,500 with a blown motor and it still had the 150hp wet plate NOS system, Edelbrock headers, MSD 6a ignition, K&N Fipk, BBK TB, Borla Catback. I used some of my grandmothers inheritance and had the engine rebuilt with forged internals and pistons/rings designed for nitrous added LT1-LT4 conversion (Heads, Intake manifold, Cam) added a 3600 stall converter, and a shift kit
it was a damn quick car I was court ordered to sell the car after being caught street racing one night. That's how I got into jeeps One day I will build another 93-97 Z38

My first vehicle was supposed to be an 88 RS. It was very clean, and me and my dad were in the beginning stages of dropping a brand new 383 crate motor in it. I had planned on casually racing it at 75-80, Mason Dixon, and even seeing how it would do at Summit Point.

Well Mother Nature had other plans. During a freak thunderstorm, a tree branch crushed it. I was only able to drive it once when I was 8 years old before we parked it to start working on it. After that I began to take a liking to 4x4's, and the rest is history.

I've had a few fbodies. I'll have to come back and post pics later, I don't have any on my phone.

gray 87 firebird v6 base model car. was a roller for lsx swap. divorce got it
black 94 z28 m6 stock motor 6 lb blower car
pewter 00 z28 stalled auto bolt on car
black 99 ws6 m6 bolt on gear car

no power numbers, but the 94 z28 trapped 116, 00 z28 went 12.0, and the ws6 trapped somewhere around 114 id guess.
