This is my 1995 Camaro Z28 convertible. It has the 5.7 LT1 350 c.i. engine. The air induction system consists of a K&N CAI, a ported and polished billet MAF, a 1LE intake elbow, and an AirFoil in the throttle body. The exhaust is a Magnaflow Cat Back attached to a Carsound HiFlo catalytic converter. Soon to be added is a set of headers. I put in an LT4 knock module to cut down on false knock. The PCM has been custom programmed by Agostiono Racing Engines, it makes a HUGE difference! My buddy Cam from Toronto F-Body Motorsports set it all up (See TFBM link under my favorite links) and I thank him for that!!I have a Hypertech 160* thermostat which makes the car run much cooler now that the fans are programmed to come on earlier. I also did the dual mode tranny mod (reg and performance mode) which is awesome because I can switch between smooth and soft shifting CRUISING mode and hard shifting high revving PERFORMANCE mode which was edited when the PCM was programmed. Also installed is a B&M electronic shift improver for the 4L60e transmission, however it is rarely if ever used now that I have the custom programming. The suspension components have all been replaced. I am now using 1LE springs, front and back, a set of Bilstein HD shocks/struts, and Air Lift 1000 airbags in the rear springs for added stiffness. The difference is tremendous! The car handles and corners MUCH better. I just installed an Edelbrock 3 point strut tower brace, a Suspension Techniques 35mm front sway bar, and a set of Energy Suspension poly bushings for the front A-arms and the sway bar end links. Soon to be added is a TransGO shift kit I bought. I also replaced my tranny mount with an Energy Suspension poly transmission mount after my stock one broke. On the front and side of the car I have clear corner/side markers. On the rear I have the Gen 3 Altezza tail lights on a gloss black painted tail light panel with Patriotic CAMARO inserts Brent Franker made for me. Here are the links to his sites: NEW Vinyl Site and EVERYTHING F-body Site I recently had the stripes added. I got the Sprewell kit from Jay at F-Body Decals Online. Here is the link to the site: CamaroGraphicsonlineThe rims are stock salad shooters. The CAUTION decal (pictured below) is on the same place on both doors.

Above are a couple of pix of me cruising the streets of Ft. Lauderdale Florida. That's where I lived before I moved to Ontario Canada.

I have enterd this car in the Gumball 3000 rally (see link). This is a 3000 mile rally across America/Europe. I want to run the US leg of the race, most likely in April/May of 2008. This is a dream of mine to participate in a "rally" across America. I may not win but I'll have a HELL of alot of fun doing it!!

I'm a member of the Thornhill Cruisers Car Club which meets every Monday night at the corner of Bayview and Steels at the Bayview Glen Church. I used to also attend the Montana's Cookhouse Thursday Night Classic Car Show which met in front of the Montana's in the Shops On 404 and Steeles on Thursday nights. That show has since been cancelled since the manager moved back out east.

Hey, what's up. Nice ride you have there. Nice interior too. Good sound system. When I was looking at the interior of your car I noticed that you have installed exactly the same things... the chrome bezel and the flame gauge. I just have'em installed so I don't have pics of them yet. anyways, when you have time please come and check out my ride and tell me what you think about it. C'ya later.

Pretty cool. The gauges look great but they proably look better at night. I did the same thing with my subwoffer in the middle of the seat. But no matter what you do you cant get the bass that the hardtop cars have, but hey I'll take the droptop over bass any day.
