sebring silver z on a winters day

I washed the car and took her out for a drive in the brisk 28 degree weather today. It is amazing how much better it seems to run in cool dence air.

Agreed, but they are so damn pricey, the only reason I have the ss hood is I got it off an ss that was hit in the rear and it already happened to be silver,
oh yeah it was only $200.

I LOVE the scoop insert with the pinstriping....where did you get it from? or is the pinstripe custom?

also, what offset are the rear wheels?

I made the insert, and designed the hockey stick stripes,and had a friend at a sign shop cut the stripes,as for the stripe around the scoop, I added that to make it blend in with the accent stripe on the hockey stick stripes.

The wheels, front are standard SS 9.5 wheels but the rear came off a corvette,I know that they aren't 11" wheels but the backspacing is different from the front, it is stamped on the rear of the wheel but I cant remember what it says.

Thanks guys for all the positive feed back, it just reassures me of the fact that I need to keep my car and not sell it,it only has 42k miles on it, and I do admit with 3 children it is not practical transportation,but then I don't drive it every day.

Sad but true, I have adjustable struts and 1 coil removed from the front springs and 3/4 coil from the rear with the heater hose mod. It rides better than aftermarket spring packages I have tried them all they are just too stiff,and the strut spring and lca relo brackets still net good 60' times at the strip.

Don't worry I didn't heat the springs,I used a cut off wheel.

More info on heater hose mod?? Exactly how much did the 1 coil and 3/4 coil lower the car in the front/back?

:sillyme: omg....wow. Ok man...well it's your car. You know they make adjustable coil-overs that would be a more effecient choice?
