Hi Martin, nice lookin ride. What does it turn in the quarter?
Is it stock? or warmed up a bit?
By the way is there a speed limit on the autobahn?
Not that I would ever break it!!!! LOL

@Johnny
The Z28 is nearly stock (only the exhaust is a Borla) and the Convertible has only a K&N FIPK and another Exhaust (only sound and appearance ).
I never raced the 1/4 ´til today but I will try it at the beginning of May
The Autobahn in Germany has normaly no speedlimit but there are several parts of it where is speedlimit nevertheless (mostly 100 or 120 km/h)  - and those parts become more and more

Welcome to the board. Yes, there are significant parts of the autobahn with no speed limit. It will be hard to move back to the States after a few years of autobahn driving. It is really nice being able to cruise at 100mph. My Camaro won't know what to think when I get back. The best thing about the autobahn though is the low number of accidents. I am continually amazed that they can drive the speeds they do and have very few accidents. Granted, when they have one, it is usually a bad one, but I won't see an average of one every 3-4 months and it frequently involves at least one American. Strange. I wish we could do the same back home.

Heres the story. One night me and a couple girls were out driving in my beautiful 71 Nova cherry red and chromed out 350. Well one of the girls was really distracting me and and I ended up running in the tail end of a brand new caddy. No on was hurt except for two beautiful cars. Not that big of a deal, jeez.
