I feel this, I bought A 94 z28 (intended on selling it) with a blown head gasket, fixed it and absolutely loved the thing. Only had bolt ons and a shift kit but man the handling compared to the sn95 was night/day! Raced anything that would line up with it and it took all the abuse I threw at it. Optispark wasn’t much of a headache only when it got wet.. unfortunately I got t boned in it and sold it a few years back. I’ve had a couple opportunities to buy it back recently but with a 6 year old, 4 year old and a 2 year old it hasn’t lined up in my favor. Current owner said he blew the motor and from my knowledge the car still needs to be straightened out on a frame machine from my accident in it but it’s definitely one that I would like to revisit one day

You know exactly where I'm coming from then lol. Yeah I knew if I didn't pull the trigger now I'm not sure I would have the motivation for a project car down the road for quite some time. I am having a blast with this thing so far. Tons of parts are stacking up. Waiting on my heads and cam from Lloyd Elliot. and the tubular k-member, a-arms and Viking coil overs from Midwest Chassis and she's ready to re-assemble.

Quick update, got the ole Lt1 completed. Sounds like a beast! Have some new wheels and tires on the way.

Long time no talk. Currently on the hunt for a clean 94/95 302 car. Went and looked at a few but unfortunately had rust in all the worst places. These are getting harder to find in good shape. looking to do another turbo build but wanting to keep it more street/strip focused.

Also.... Still rocking the ole lt1 fbody. Should be sitting around 500whp with about 6psi of boost. The opti hasnt shit the bucket yet. lol

I'm noticing that with the 94/95 cars. Even the 96-98 Gts are hard to find. People were practically throwing them away and parting them out over blown motors.
