New F-Body Owner, Old LS1 Owner I'm a former owner of a 2004 GTO and a 2007 Trailblazer SS. Also, formerly from Houston, TX, now in Albuquerque, NM. I put quite a bit of work into the GTO, had it running 12.3 @ 111 all motor, cams/bolt-ons only on Nitto drags. Kept the TBSS pretty close to stock, just tune/intake/catback. After my wife and I had our first child we decided we had to have economical cars and got rid of everything fun. Bad decision. It has eaten at us sense then.
Just by luck I came across a 2002 Z28 with only 20k miles on it in fantastic shape last week. Factory Hurst, T-Tops, M6, Black Leather, Silver, etc, I couldn't pass it up, I just had to have it. It is bone stock, and drives great.
I've already ordered a polished carriage works billet grille to match the stock chrome wheels and I plan to have it 3M tinted next week. The stock front plate bracket was riveted on and so the stock front plastic grille had to go because a front plate is not required in New Mexico.
Anyways, I just wanted to say hello. I always wanted an F-body and I am very happy to have this one so far. I don't know that I am going to do much work to it, as money is tight, but as funds allow I may do some small things that won't effect daily drivability.
Glad to be back in the LSX community.

And just that quick, it is in service to have the passenger power window looked at...was working fine and then all the sudden, nope. I've heard that is a pretty regular problem with the f-bodys?? Any advice?
