it actually was in 6th gear, but, alot of throttle left. if you fly in from chicago we can fly for 12 more miles not to exceed 255 miles as which are on the other #13 69 ZL1 camaro about to come out of the resto shop and be ready for th reunion! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

Kevin, why is the 69 ZL-1 coming out of the resto shop, did something happen to it? That video of a 02 Phase III ZL-1 in some actual street action was awesome! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

Rob- its a phase 3. Got 800 miles on it. WOuld have loved to stretch it further, but running out of road was the stopping factor. He was in an auto. He made the jump ahead on my 2 to 3 shift.

Anyone else have the service engine light flashing?

the car was dinged beside the rear window near the top of the pillar between the rear window and the driver side small rear window and trunk decklid when i sold it and shipped it to its then owner before i bought it back. it was very difficult to match the paint as it seemed to be a slightly off from what cortez silver should be. it had a slight hint of blue. we tried to match 10 yr. old paint and said lets make it right. we were then going to paint the entire car, but decided to do it right disassemble and when we did it started a complete resto as you know what happens when you tear one down. i wanted this car done to perfection and decided to do a complete nut and bolt resto on it. with only 255 miles on her she deserved it! it will be at the reunion and the before and after are amazing for an already very nice previous resto.

Sounds great Kevin! I only saw that car one time outside of Randys garage, and I think it was 92 or 93 at a car at the North Wilkesboro speedway and it was hauled there, it had never been on a public road and not be in a trailer when Randy had it, at least not to my knowledge anyway, great car either way!

That video was awesome. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] Those 99 Z-28s are pretty quick! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] I wish mine would run like that. As for the oil consumption, I have found out on the CamaroZ28.com message boards(ls1 tech) that the 98-99 LS-1s were worse about oil consumption than the 00-02s because in the new ones they used LS6 rings. What type of rings did they use in the ZL1s? What type of exhaust system is on the ZL1? Is it the the chambered type that gmmg makes with longtube headers? Because it sounds a lot better than the flowmaster american thunder system on my car!

They use the long tube Headers with the Chambered. Part of the Oil consumption problem might just be that the Rings have not seated. Mobil One is not gonna help to seat the Rings. I just put Non Synthetic in to hopefully seat the Rings. Even the Oil usage is a Welcome Tradeoff for all the Power it makes. It is really a Blast to Drive. The is a New Yellow One on Ebay right now that is still a Phase 1.

I'll have to try from a dead roll, but his was an auto. My SS has been beaten by less hp cars and autos due to it being a stick. I would imagine it to be the same way in the ZL1.
