Imposter z28 roaming the streets of Macomb
Just thought I'd do a little FYI, if you see this Camaro, make sure you point and laugh. It's some guy posing as a z28. His VIN came back v6, his z28 badge was obviously self applied as it's a few inches too far left, and the most obvious reason of all... he has drum brakes.
LT1/v6 aside, it's just ugly.

Aside from his ghetto fabulous rims, he's plannin on putting dub spinners on it. And definitely take note of the Fast and the Furious shoulder pad, that must add 10HP or something... ...wait nm, those heavy big rims are like -15HP.

Thers is nothing wrong with having a 6 or even building it up a bit heck my 98 with a 3.8 stock is pretty close to my old 77 Trans am (I said close not better!) but to badge it as something its not thats another thing! I dont care if he's an SS hood and Spoiler just dont try to say it's an 8 when it's not by the way what color is it I wanna see this thing! so I can look at it from my rear view!!!... just cant wait to get my cam!! and headers!

Ummm, look down near the bottom of Page 3.....it looks like an LT1 to me??
Considering the guy has the money to do all that stuff to the car (3 DVD's, big stereo, body kit, etc.,) then why wouldn't he have the money to put in an LT1? Unless that's a pic from under the hood of someone else's car?!

As for the 3.8L firebird beating him, here's the video taken the other day by my buddy that raced him. http://www.meissenation.com/SukoBattle.wmv
Trust me, too many things don't add up for it to be a z28. The only thing he has going for him to make you think it really is a z28 are the gauges, that engine bay picture is definitely one he got from someone else. But the fact that his vin says v6, his badges are misplaced, his rear brakes are drums, and he gets beaten by a 3.8L firebird consistantly, no way, it's definitely a v6

Ive seen it its not a Z. believe me. the photos on there of the LT1 are not of his car they are of someone elses. it is a v6 no matter what u say i know this. ive seen the vehicle. ive got videos of the vehicle if any one wants to see them.

Re: Imposter z28 roaming the streets of Macomb
evertime we see him he wont. hes afrait to show hes only got a six. i never was afraid to show my 6. but i never advertised it as an 8. my 3.4 would smoke him. and more hten likely my truck up until second gear. thent he truckw ould pull away. its sad that there are people like that. i mean come on. y u gotta lie about it. sure im lying by making a sleeper. but ne one thats smart will be able to tell its a 8.

and even so, HP wise a stock V6 Camaro has the stock v6 Mustang's beat for the same year.. I drive a v6, and I'm dang proud... it keeps me out of getting even more tickets.
