25th Annual Run for the Hills Pictures
« on: September 27, 2020, 08:09:25 pm »
Here are the first set of pictures -- taken by me.

Gas stop


Lunch stop



Scenic overlook. My car had broken down before this picture. It may have filled that gap.


Gatlinburg from my hotel balcony (7th floor)



This beautiful car...

...has the coolest intake.


I had a little fun on the curves before my car broke down.

Your video was enjoyable to watch.

I don't recall that black Fiero in the group pics.

Those dual throttle-body setups are interesting.  I'm guessing that engine is more than the stock 2.8, but should have great flow.  Of course, the exhaust must match..

The black GT belongs to TTSlick.  His wife injured her back on Friday night and felt she couldn't make the run.  They came from west central Georgia just for the run. 

I believe he said the engine was a 3.1.  I don't remember the specifics of the engine as to whether any mods were done.  Ken Wheeler of Wheeler Performance Cycles in Robbinsville, NC added a small motorcycle throttle body to the top of a stock plenum and he said it gave the 2.8 new life and a kick in the seat of the pants when it opened up.  I can only imagine TT's rewards.

More pictures. These pictures are from Gordon, from Chicago I think. Most of them were actually taken by his wife, whose name I don't recall.
There will be more of these tomorrow. I'm going nite-nite now.








He got me!

You may have noticed in this picture that the passenger side exhaust outlet is hanging kind of low. The hanger broke. Perhaps that was a harbinger of things to come.

Great pics! Lots of beautiful cars.
I particularly like the Z28 wing on the red notchie. Was thinking about doing one on my coupe. (If I ever get the mechanicals done.)

He said it's rather heavy, so you definitely need to add a gas strut to hold up the deck lid.

I was noticing that wing.  Surely, something lighter could be made.

No doubt. But this is a "stock" item. It's from a '92 Z28, and it fits the Fiero decklid perfectly.
I also had one on my 88 Firebird Formula. IMHO, it actually looked better on the Firebird than it did on the Camaro.
And yeah... it's a heavy beast.
