Default finally got around.....

i was out in the garage relettering the 84's "cross fire" logos, and finally thought about checking the RPO's. guess what, it's a Z51! i thought it was cool anyway...
i'm amazed! it doesn't seem a harsh ride to me! i was hoping for the performance axel ratio too, but no luck there.

anyway, no big deal, i was just bustin' to tell somebody, so you guys get to put up with it. :D

My '88 is a Z52 equipped car. Not a Z51 but, not a standard suspension car either. :D

Cool Dan! :cool: Now even more :steering: :D So many people complain about the early C4s' Z51, but I intend someday to have a '84-'89, and I really will try to get one with Z51 because I just enjoy this suspension, it's a lot of fun :yesnod: I love the supposedly "harsh" ride - it makes it feel more like a sports car!! :seeya :cool: :cool:

Here's a wave from one yellow LT4 to another (and to your newest addition) :seeya
