Uh, I think it has something to do with the cu.in. displacement…I’m not Canadian …I don’t understand that whole Metric System thing.

7.0L…wtf is that? I thought GM was making the FRC’s out of recycled Pepsi bottles and it takes 7 bottles to make each one...and GM being "Green" and all, wanted us to know that.

Now THAT'S what I call a well stocked refrigerator!

Even though you are waisting very valuable space with that ketchup, mustard, Italian salad dressing and BBQ sauce!

Oh ya ... need some 'regular' Bud in there too

The covers look great, fantastic job!

The only thing I dislike is the 427 badges. I don't think they should be in the engine bay or on the hood or anywhere on the car. To me if you know your car and others know it as well with it being a Z0 they should know it has a 7 Liter aka 427 in it and if they don't then tell them it has an LS1 in it haha, but that's just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt

Nice car. But I would lose the emblems on the FRC. Again very nice Z, we are all jealous.

Aside from the peer pressure why do you feel the need to cover your cylinder heads with plastic?

Seems to me the most radical mod today would be to remove these useless pieces of plastic. Just my opinion of course and I was young during an era in which the giant valve covers of big blocks were there for all to see.

It's not so pretty under there like the good old days. Kind of like most women. Take their clothes off and most of them don't look like we remember them. And for those women out there who might read this post, neither do us guys!!!
