Once again I own a 25th ann. Camaro. Just picked up from Houston area. 1992 Blue Z28 5.7 TPI A/T. Picked it up for $3,500. Pretty nice car a couple of scratches here and there and some paint chipping on the nose little fade on the hood scoops. But I really think its about a 7/10. super clean interior and only 111k all original. Never been rebuilt, wrecked or anything. Heres on pic. Will post more pics tomorrow. Anyone know off top what the name of this color is? DOH!!! wont let me upload the pic. : (

Very nice ride. Love that tall spoiler. I'll try for the first time, to make the North meet Saturday. Got to show off the work Robby (LS7S10) did on my Formula. Hope to see you there. :)

Great looking Z Saul!! Always one of my favorites. If you think the paint is in saveable shape, I would be happy to see if I can make it look better.

Thanks everyone. Chris the paint is pretty nice too. Little fade on the scoops is all. Will definitely have to take it by see what you can do. Gramps I love those wheels, but even more some factory 16" iroc wheels. Think they're polished right????
or some Boyd Cottington Smoothie II's would fit nicely.

Remember though. Factory wheels are clear coated, and offset is different front to rear.

On my last Z, I went to 15x8 Outlaw rims, then 265-50r15 tires. It launched really well when you let a litte air out of the tires. I didn't notice any significant difference in the handling. same diameter too, so no speedometer problems.

I really like the 92's, they have my favorite ground effects and rear wing of all the 3rd gens. I even like the wheels, although I have seen some 17" versions of the IROC wheels I really like if you're looking for something a little different.

I remember swapping out the cat back on a 91 and it made all the difference in the world. Those cars come with the smallest exhaust I have ever seen seen on a 350 car.

It's hard to find unmodded cars of that year. You have a good looking car!
