are we smoking from the same pipe? my pipedream is TURBO ls4/f40 
Thanks for the nice welcomes.
Headers are next on my parts list; including finally getting HP Tuners eventually as I need to get into tuning on my own. My goal has really been to get to this point. It was a pipe dream for forever (seemingly) to make it a SC 3.8; whether by top-swapping or L67 swap. After I finally did that, I was really getting excited at the idea of a 5-speed swap. I'm feeling pretty good at this point. I know that a manual is generally slower than a auto, but that's not my point to be the fastest; just fastER and fun at the same time. Heck, I've never even taken my car to a track before, despite urges from fellow gearhead friends. My next pipe dream (and ultimate goal) is (shhhhhh, secret) an LS4 swap while retaining the 284. I'm pretty confident in my abilities but still realize the challenge it presents. Anyway, here's a few pics

Back from the dead. I've since moved, acquired different vehicles (and house) but I still have my Z34. My wife actually exclaimed that I had better not get rid of it (I won't). But anyway, some really crappy cell pics from last year showing beginning of some paint correction as the paint was haggard from years of hasty washes. I also finally got some SS wheels a couple years ago, and finally some spacers last year so I could run them. Currently the car is under wraps in the garage for the winter, but it'll be out again and I hopefully (and finally) have some good pics and a video
