Power Hungry
As car people, we never forget our first car. Luckily for Alfonso Garcia of Covina, CA, his first car is pretty unforgettable. This '95 Z28 was given to Alfonso as a Christmas present when he was 17. This once-white Z28 received the royal treatment, including fresh paint, C6 ZO6 wheels, white-face gauges, an SLP air foil, a Granatelli Motorsports MAF sensor, and an SLP Loudmouth exhaust system. Alfonso also added the billet grill with a '69 Camaro Z28 emblem for a retro touch. Future plans include a heads and cam swap along with full exhaust to bring the power to a whole new level.

Transplanted
Alan Thoms has taken a road less traveled when it comes to his '94 Camaro. Not only did he do all of his own work, he started with a V-6 car. Over the course of two years, Alan, with the help of his father, not only transplanted an LT1 into his Camaro, he fortified his ride with the strength to handle some serious power. A tubular K-member, boxed lower control arms, tubular torque arm, and weld-in subframe connectors keep the car from twisting under the added power of the new LT1. A Moroso cold air intake, Hooker Super Comp long-tube headers, and a true-dual exhaust with an X-pipe (custom fabricated by Alan) add a little extra grunt to this once tame Camaro, while AutoMeter gauges help Alan keep an eye on the happenings under the hood.

A Touch Of Flare
Tom Tkaczyk is proud of his 2004 Pontiac GTO and we can see why. A laundry list of custom work under the hood, including heads, cam and cold-air intake, as well as a 100-shot of NOS, handle the performance while the impressive bodywork and custom paint grabs your attention right away. The candy apple red paint layered on top of a silver base coat draws your attention to the Banshee hood and custom front fenders. The front and rear fenders have also been widened to accommodate 265/40/18s up front and 295/35/18s in the rear.

Change of Identity
Upon first glance, Justin Jordak's '99 Z28 doesn't look like a Z28 at all. The hood, spoiler and stripes give off the powerful look of a Super Sport. Justin purchased the car in stock trim back in 2004 and has built this Z28 into a solid foundation for some real power. He has added subframe connectors, an upgraded Panhard bar, and sway bars, as well as 18-inch C6 ZO6 wheels. An SLP air lid and catback exhaust system have been added to offer some more excitement when you step on the loud pedal. To keep the looks in line with the performance, Justin added an SS hood, spoiler and stripes as well as '69 Camaro Z28 emblems for a dash of vintage muscle.
