Hello everyone,
Just thought I would introduce myself. I've been lurking here off and on for years, every time I got tempted to buy my fathers Z28. He ended up making me an offer I couldn't refuse so as of this weekend I'm now the proud owner of a black '93 Z28 with 40k on the odometer. It's basically stock with the exception of a Moroso CAI and Hurst shifter. The current plan is to catch up on the maintenance and take it to a track day August 31st (Bertil Roos - Performance Driving Clinic up at Pocono). I'd love to hear anyone experiences with Roos? Did a search and didn't find much. I'm planning to flush the brake fluid and do other maintenance items people have suggested here in past pre- track postings but I'm waffling on the brake pads. I read the suggestions, I've had Hawk pads on a street car in the past and the brake squeal drove me nuts. Any chance the stock pads will suffice for the first track outing? or am I dreaming? Other suspension and engine mods will have to wait until I finish other projects. Dan |

I tracked my ''96 street car a few times before I did the Bob bishop C5 kit...one of his first BTW.
I agree with the others, the LT1 year brakes are not very good. If you take good care of them you can make an event or two, but you will definitley want to upgrade those calipers to something much better pretty soon. My CMC car has just upgrades to LS1 year brakes with great pads and they are very good. James |
