Default I just drove my first v8 fbody

I just drove ym first v8 fbody today.. a 99 z28 camaro. Was a total junker and the tranny was on its way out, but I still gave it a test drive for a friend lookign to buy one.. Damn, it felt amazing, and this is through a shot a4 tranny.

I used to want a TA ws6 to build up as a fun DD but now I crave one lol. I think im going to have to start test driving them as a hobby until I get all my truck mods finished up and can afford one lol. Truck takes priority now because, well, I have it already lol.

Damn you guys are lucky lol, these cars rock, my pants haven't dropped the tent since I drove that thing.

I enjoy the truck too much lol, plus have plenty of money invested in it already. When you sell these trucks you don't get any money from mods back.

If I can get a decent job for once this summer, then I am totally buying a ws6.. I need this lol. The truck doesn't pick up the ladies like it should haha. No, but really, they just look sexy as hell. This camaro I drove had exhaust and a K&N only and was damn fun. It was as if GM had designed the seat just for my ***, and the throttle was pretty nice too.

I get to drive one everyday and it never gets old, the modding bug is a crazy one though, once you get used to the power you want more and more and more and more muaahaahaahaha

keep truck, save money, buy fbody, insert procharged 408, watch all the money you saved and then some disappear

Welcome to an addiction that's worse than crack cocaine! Resisting the overwhelming urge to mod is one of the most difficult things I've ever had to go through.
