So, after 7 month my car is ready and my camaro ist running.

Some of you know, that i´ve changed the engine and transmission of my car. It was a 3,8 ltr. V6 with automatic and now it is a LS1 with 6-way manuel transmission from a 2000ér Trans Am WS6.

The car is running perfectly. So much power, i love it. It is a very strong engine and you will see it in bitburg on first of may.

What i also changed is: the complete WS6-suspension, the WS6-polished wheels 9X17 with 275/40 ZR17, lower springs, Flowmaster thunder racing cat back system, slp cold air induction package, clear corner lenses, and a Domstrebe (i don´t know the word in english).

The suspension is not the best, but much better than original. When i have the money, i will buy better shocks, etc.

I don´t have a website, so i can´t show you pictures of it. Maybe i can sent pictures to one of you, then you can put them in this forum.

I also was at the TÜV here in germany and everything is "eingetragen" in the "KFZ-Brief". Ok, not the exhaust system, but the engine, wheels and suspension. So everything is ok.

Jens

Looks great. Contratulations on getting it going. I look forward to seeing you at Bitburg. It really is a shame that Chevy couldn't offer the convertible Z28 in Germany. Sure would have saved you some work. Something I would recommend is that you get a set of subframe connectors for it. Convertibles aren't as stiff and the extra power is tough on them. I can talk to you at Bitburg about a couple of places to get them.
