Tan top = blech. I'm not a big fan of the two-tone color scheme that GM decided upon for these cars. If I was, I would've had a NBM SS convertible a while ago. But.. I wanted the black interior, so I waited. I like the triple black. It's more appealing (to me anyway).

I hate driving with the top up as well. After three weeks of being without my car, I put the 500 break-in miles on real fast, and topless. (Out to Daytona and back a couple of times, etc).

The first motor was slap-happy. It had bad piston slap, and I finally got my dealership to work with me and replace the motor. The sad part is ... I think this one's going to wind up just as bad, and it's not as fast. I think I'm going to have to run through my motor with a fine tooth comb and make sure all my plug and plug wires are in snug/tight (they already took it back once, it misfired when I got it *groan*). It pulls...just nowhere near as hard as my old one did.

what he said.

Yeah it is a cool color and car, I have only seen that color once before on a z28 with t-tops.

 

OSW is starting to enforce the rules a little more. they told me i need a helmet tonight and i didnt do anything different from the last time i ran faster than a 14. so the next 2 runs i had my friend in the car and was on the brakes through the traps.

If it were me, I'd make sure I had the top up when you go through tech so that maybe they won't notice. Also, try to get the lady tech... that guy is sometimes a jerk and the lady gets 3 cars teched for every one of his.

(And it's not because he's doing a better job...he's just plain S...L...O...W....)

 

so they're inforcing the rules at OSW for safety gear now?

my almost stock z28 runs very low 14's, sometimes very high 13's, will they bitch?
