1. Installed 4-barrel carb and manifold from a 76 firebird (not the best donor car)
2. Installed the factory style dual exhaust.
3. Blew 2 of the Muncie 3 speed transmissions and installed a floor shifter after ripping the column shifter off during a hard shift
4. Installed a better cam, can't remember the specs but it had slightly more duration than a ram air III
   Too bad the small valve heads couldn't really take advantage of the cam.
5. Installed 2 convertible tops
6. Installed really nice CD-player with 180 Watt RMS Alpine amp with qty 4, 6 1/2 door speakers
   Squeezing 2 speakers in each door, 1 low in back and 1 high in front gave awesome sound for a convertible.
   Stereo was stolen while I was trying to sell the car.
7. Installed 15" Pontiac Rally-Sport Rims with BG Goodrich Comp TA VR4 tires
8. Replaced 2 row core radiator with a 3 row core radiator
9. To meet emissions in Texas (I actually had to take a Dyno emissions test one year!) I had to buy a 4-barrel
   closed air cleaner to replace the open element chrome air cleaner I was using.
   After I passed emissions I left stock air cleaner base and ran the open element chrome air cleaner cover, it looked great!

1. 1994 Z28, hardtop (W/O T-tops I personally hate T-tops)
2. Patriot Red(Maroon) with tan interior, I really wanted the tan interior which is very uncommon with this body color.
3. 6-Speed manual transmission. I had to wait and extra 2 months because of the transmission
   Chevy expected less than 10% of the buyers would get the 6-speed trans and over 20% of the cars were ordered with it
   Borg Warner ran completely out and there was a 2 month period were you could not get a 6-speed
   My car was one of the first 6-speeds to arrive in Dallas after the shortage and the
   dealership was kind enough to test drive my car 18 miles instead of the 3 miles that they told me.
   I asked ahead of time and they said 8 mile max, another example of how dealers lie
4. High speed Goodyear GSC tires, and 160PMH speedo! I think it was a $1000 option.
   If I would not have gotten this option the car would have been electronically speed limited to 110 MPH
   
5. Luxury option package 2, I had to get the deluxe package to get the 6 way adjustable seats
   Being 6'5" tall I do not fit in the cars w/o the extra adjustability given by the power seats.
   This package had Power seats, power windows, A/C cruise control, power mirrors and a CD player
6. Basically every single option available except I did not get Auto trans or T-tops

1. Car missed at 4500 RPMS. Dealer hooked car up to code reader told me nothing was wrong
   Took car back to dealer and told him to drive in first to 4000RPM hold it for a second then
   floor it and the car felt like it hit the rev limiter. The dealer found several coil packs were
   bad and lectured me that I should be shifting sooner, dumbasses!
   
2. Cruise control didn't always work. Took car to dealer twice and they told me there was
   Nothing wrong both times. 3rd time at dealer I took service manager for a ride.
   I deliberately left The cruise control on then turned the car off and re-started it.
   Then I let service manager drive, no matter what he did he could not set cruise control
   I then had him stop the car on the side of the highway, turn the car off, turn cruise
   control off, then restart the car. Cruise control now works. dealer replaced cruise control
   module and left a annoying note in my car stating the cruise control resume function does
   not work when car has been shut down....WTF dumbasses.
3. One morning car won't start and backfires, I try 5 minutes later and runs fine.
   This happens 3 times and each time dealer says nothing is wrong, I threaten to lemon law the
   car and they give me a bill for wasting their time when nothing is wrong, I go ballistic and
   they drop the bill and I leave...which is what they wanted.
4. Super bowl Sunday on my Birthday another driver turns left into my path and destroys the
   Passenger side of my car. While at the dealer for 2 MONTHS getting body work the car won't
   start and backfires, The dealer replace the ECU which they claim was damaged in the wreck
   I was furious at the dealer but thrilled to finally get a new ECU which would have cost me $1000
   
5. Shortly after wrench my A/C compressor seizes, and dealer replaced it under warranty. But the evaporator case is cracked and the car fill up with 1" (I measured it!) of water on a
   trip to Austin. Dealer installs a new housing and 2 months later new housing starts leaking
   Dealer says it doesn't leak, I take service manger for a ride(see a pattern here) and show him
   it only leaks when I corner hard. Dealer finds a cricket stuck in evaporator drain.
6. 3000 miles later my brand new front tires are shot because the toe adjustment was WAY off.
   Dealer blames me! and refused to admit that they screwed up from end alignment when they
   rebuilt it. Even after I threaten a lawsuit they tell me they are not paying for tires
   I tell them to F@%K off and I am never going to they again and I am telling every persons I meet
   That they are incompetent crooks, they say fine but they are not paying for tires.
7. 3000 mile later care backfires and doesn't want to start, I take car to a good dealer
   and they replace distributor under 7 year 70,000 mile emission warrantee, first time I took
   the car in, now thats the kind of service I expect!
8. A/C compressor blows exactly one year after 1st dealer replaced it because they did not
   replace the dryer when they installed a new compressor and the moisture in the system ruined
   the compressor I take car to the good dealer and they tell me $700 to repair unless I go back to first dealer
   1st dealer says compressor has 12,050 miles on it (which is more than 12,000 mile guarantee)
   and refuses to replace condenser. After getting GM corporate customer help people involved
   They fix their screw up for 1/2 price $350. I go home and put an add in the trading post to
   sell the car I had planned on giving to a son someday, piss poor quality and service ruined that dream.
