Picked up a 2015 Z/28

[x77-69z28]

Right? I never liked white cars, but I have grown to love the color. I had an RS/SS big block car in my youth. I painted over the original Cortez silver paint to make it white. Two months later, I sold the car! I got the 15 with 94 miles on it, I put it away with 603. Can't wait for spring!

Wow, that's nice. I always liked those since they came out. I should thin out my herd and add one of those. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

The faulty synapses in my brain make me think that I am rich! Somehow I got the idea that I need one of every generation of Z/28! Anybody have a nice clean IROC?

Buddy, congrats - what a badass car. I love them and think bang for the buck value is through the roof...

Give me a ride this summer?!

PM'd you back Bruce

Congrats, truley a great track capable package. GM has some issues with the valves in their LS 427 engines. The issue
was not resolved for the Z28s. Just something to be aware of. A bit of old school cam, headers and head work and your @ 700 hp Naturally aspirated, which transforms the car to &quot;amazing&quot; Super Car status. The white with all the black accents works real well.

I thought they corrected the valve problem. I thought it was bad castings on the heads?

No it was never &quot;fixed&quot;. GM has never conceded to the issues. There is a lot of incorrect and conflicting info, even amongst engine shops.

Wegner Motor Sports found, that the coating on the valves as spec'ed by GM from Del West its way too course and wears the valve guides in short order. So we fix the worn guides and send the valves to be stripped and re coated with a non abrasive coating. We have not seen a single valve guide related issue, since, on our custom engines. We spin the LS7s to 7200 rpm. This is really an awesome engineered engine considering the basic design goes back to 1955 for GM.

Here I'm testing a line lock / Barker Button in the parking lot prior to delivery of a 700hp Stage III NicKey Z28.
