Well, I got a new car for a project. It's a 2000 Z28 with 75k miles on it. I test drove it 2 days ago and got my loan approved this morning. Many of you might ask what I'm going to do with my 97 'Maro... Well, I'm keeping it but letting Angela (my fiance) drive it.  The first few mods on the list are: Whisper Lid SLP long-tube headers Borla exhaust

Nice ride! Most of my close family have really been into camaros so I know a lot about them. And since they stopped making them, I think they will become very hard to come by in a few years. Well atleast the nice ones. lol

yay another ls1 owner! i am not alone anymore. you are on a good path there to start with mods too....factory intake and exhause setup is rather restrictive...even mine having the ram air was restricting flow.

I took delivery today. It's fun as heck to drive, even with the little bit of snow we have here on the ground. I hate the Flowmaster 40 series it has on now. Inside it makes it sound like a schoolbus, so I'm going to get the borla on asap...

Nice. I still have an urge to throw a y-pipe in and go 1-into-2 on my truck. But then I'd have to upgrade the intake, and then the head, then the pistons, then the cam, etc etc.
Sounds like fun to me. twisted
And I wish it'd snow here again. >.>''

Looks really nice man. Gl with that.
And as for the Camaro concept, I havent seen it, but I hope it doesnt come back, if only because its only been gon for such a short period of time. On the other hand, the new challenger looks amazing, though I havent taken the time to check out the specs on it yet. The new chargers s**t though imo...

Yeah, sadly it's only snowed twice in Bowie and not enough to have fun in. It looks like snow-season is ending early this year, and Farmers Almanac was expecting tons of snow this time.

It's a 6-speed.
Traction is an issue, it will start to fishtail going into 3rd gear and in 1st or 2nd if I floor it all it does is sit and spin the tires. I think I'm going to go with these mods first:
Lower Control Arms
Torque Arm
Rear Sway Bar
Pan-Hard Bar
Because I need traction more than power right now.
