    The first thing my insurance agent asked me when I told him I bought a 97 Z28 was "Is it the SS model?"

      Yeah, unfortunately they're starting to jump in price. I bought mine when it was in ROUGH condition for 3k, and my dad bought a 130k a4 SS for 6k a few years back so they're slowly rising.

    Nice review LSXJosh, would you let us know what's the manufacturer recommended PSI for the wheels for your tires ? ( The label on the door ). Because I've upgraded my Z28 rims with SS rims just like your wheels.

    • @lsxjosh4375
      @lsxjosh4375  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Honestly depends on the tires but the general rule of thumb with these cars is 35 on all 4. I run 25 on my rears since they’re nittos and if you run any more than that in them they have a tendency to wear in the center and not the sides.

    • @michaelcannizzo1076
      @michaelcannizzo1076 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dash generally wont be an issue unless it sits in Sun most of its life. Plastic will fatigue and crack on parts of the car but the dash is particularly susceptible if the sun just roasts it non-stop. Windows are known issue - GM routed the wiring from the fuse box to the driver side door switch, THROUGH the switch to the passenger door switch/window. In a race your driver side window will always beat the passenger window because by time juice gets there its got so much additional resistance. Poor design, but solvable by doing the relay mod and extends life of your motors.

    Except tail lights falling off ! 😮 my Z28 never fell off, and its a 95 !
    Dash board cracks, check..roof needing to be repainted check, ride height, check...all were present on both my '95 Z and my 2000 WS6.
    Don't forget the infamous 10 bolt rear 😢
    Now as for the window motors, yes they are slow, but if you want to make it easier rolling them up, open the door when rolling either 😉 side up. Makes it so much easier on the motors 😮
    Nothing is perfect brother
    But your SS sounds and looks great. Just learn to take the good with the bad, give and take.

    There's a re wire kit for the power window motors not getting enough juice. My ws6 was a 98 so didn't have the sail panel issue thank god. On the ws6's the door panels crack the top so at least the Camaro's don't have that issue although my ws6 didn't have that. I think that come from slamming the door. So don't slam f body doors they are big enough! hehe. That's the thing on some stuff that GM did with the glue and rivets everything was done just for speed at the factory no thought about it after. Some other slam issues with the cars but overall they are alright i've seen some real shitboxes in my time lol.
