Default My first LS1 :)

I just picked her up 2 days ago, my previous car was a v6 Camaro and yea its quite a difference Im only 16 but I bought it myself and took out a small loan. I pay for insurance and gas so dont think im spoiled.

Tell me what you think..










Only mods now are Intake/Exhaust, in a few hours its getting 3.73 Gears and tuning.

Very very nice! I would say take off either the hockey or the hood stripes, one or the other. And take off that import killer sticker too. Other than that though that is one nice *** car for a anybody, let alone a 16 year old. And congrats on buying it yourself! Have fun with it and be safe!

Thanks guys, yea the stripes are either a love/hate kind of thing. It looks like too many in the pictures but when your up close to the car it really sets it off for me. I dont know maybe im just wierd. Thanks for the compliments.

Hoping for a 12.7 or better at the highschool nationals on radials after I get my gears in today. Ive been working alot to buy this car and fund the mods..I just got a new job about 3 weeks ago at Livernois Motorsports, I love it. They really are great people here and gave me an awsome welcome into the place, they do outstanding work and they pay me pretty damn good for my age. They are a sponser so check em out sometime

PS- Took a few pics of my boss vette and my car

Man you came out of the gate running (gears and tunning) ! Looks good !

I personally would at least get pinstripes around the center stripes to make them look nicer...

So when are you going to do the Whistler headlight mod and Berger rear panel !??!

pretty good looking car. I gotta agree on removing either the hockey stripes or hood stripes. A berger would look good to, especially with the stripes.

Lookin' good Chad! Gears and a tune are a GREAT start and I'm sure other mods will come in time. Just enjoy it and be safe.... that Vette looks familiar
