The strictly red camaro poll 2(7 days to vote!)

i thought i would post this poll to see if anything changed since the other recieved 26 votes out of 200+ views!

there were a few cars that i would have liked to included, but either they didn't post a pic or their pic didn't come up.

mark it isn't about that. your camaro is very nice, the one's posted were either from the last poll, had someone comment on why they weren't in there, or had a sharp picture that really showed the car off! the only reason there were new entries were the fact that a few from the other poll either didn't get any votes or had no picture.

much like myself, we both need better camera's.

those who are in the poll should post a single pic of their car so that it's easier to pick.

If I ever get around to buffing it, I'm probably going to put the IROC-Z decals back on, but no stripes.

It's 86 GM Bright Red with orange mica added to it. I didn't put enough mica in tho.
The rims were sand blasted, polished, powder coated then painted. By the end, they wound up looking pretty much stock only maybe a little nicer.

88NOSTA if you like showing it why don't you bring it to the camaro superfest in july?

TheWraith that picture is much better than the one in the previous post..........you need a nice side angle of that quality. by the way, does yours have stripes on it now or no?

no stripes, no iroc decals, body color headlight baskets, and power blisters instead of iroc louvers. no iroc wheels, and a whole different interior. I've de-iroc'ed the car, and i like it that way.

Believe it or not, it's bone stock except for the Jamex lowering springs and a heavy speaker box in the trunk

This year I'd like to get some airbags in the rear coils so that I can bring it back up a tad (and pre-load the rear at the track) along with some poly bushings and new LCAs, LCA relocating brackets & panhard bar.

both brad and chevyken have very beautiful cars........you both should be proud, definately worthy of the votes!

if there is anything that could make brads car nicer in my eyes would be to lower the stance......but, that's about it.

Nope, it's actually a 1989 Iroc . It needed body work and a repaint, so I just went the extra mile and added in all of the 92 Heritage stuff, except the grill as you observed. Thanks for all of the compliments!
