Default Timmy's 96 Z28 Build!

I think that I have done enough work to my car to be able to make a build thread so I am.

February 22, 2008 was the day I was united with my dream car, and yes I do mean my dream car. Obviously, everyone wants a Porsche or Lambo, and I wouldn't mind one, but a Camaro was on the top of my list. It just runs in the family so it's in my blood to be a Camaro owner. This is the day it was purchased.

Since then, I have done a lot of work, starting out with mostly cosmetic things, suspension, and exhaust. The cosmetic list includes:
-C5 Z06 rims
-Black berger panel with white lettering
-WS6 Ram Air hood
-SS spoiler
-30% tints with tinted tail lights
Suspension includes:
-KYB AGX shocks
-BMR 1" lowering springs
-UMI strut tower brace
-Drilled/slotted rotors
-Painted all other suspension parts red
Exhaust:
-BBK short headers and straight pipes
This is what it looks like now with all of this work done and some parts listed.

Glad to know other people around the country know of Berger. They were just another dealership to me until I read a mag that had a 69 Berger Camaro. Then they came out with late model ones. I have the pleasure of living 40 min from thier so I have seen many Berger's roaming the highway. Oh yeah nice ride.
