Default New to F-body's

Just bought my first f-body, a 1999 Z28 M6 w/ t-top's and only 61k.

It's stock except for a Flowmaster exhaust. Power everything (unfortunately one of the notorious window motors is already crapping out), cloth, 12 disc cd, etc. It just needs some fresh fluids and brakes.

It's in great condition and can't wait till summer to drive it. It's going to be a weekend summer car for me. My DD is a 2000 Wrangler.

Here are some pics:

Yea i've been reading that the Flows are not the best. But they will do for now, and it still sounds better than any car i've ever had.

Really? Sweet. It doesn't feel like the throws are that short. How can you tell?

The stock shift stick is way taller than that. But I bet it is just a aftermarket stick not an entire shifter, hence why the throws are still like rowing a boat

That's my assumption.

Thanks all. Really don't have the funds to do much now. I'll probably get at least a lid then leave it alone for a while, so I can save up.

I also need to take care of some minor stuff like rear brakes and window motor. I already ordered some Hawk HPS pads and Autozone duralast rotors. Any idea where I can get a cheap but functional window motor?
