Default Northwest Florida Noob

Well for starters my name is Patrick and I live in Panama City, Florida. This past Friday I bought a 98 Z28 vert to add to my collection. I've always been an LSx fan but I'm finally a proud owner. I bought an SVT Focus for a DD when I was 16 and this past March before I turned 18 I bought a Honda CBR 600.

As of right now the Focus is down so I am DD'ing the Camaro, but here soon it will be relieved of duty and changed to weekend duty only.









I bought the car as a project. It is in need of both front fenders, a front bumper (I can salvage it, but its easier to get a new one), a drivers door, and some paint work. I also need to order a pair of 17x11s and move the pictured ZR1s up front. The is factory stock with the exception of a built tranny and air filter (LOL). I love projects and the price was right, so why not?

Cool deal, I'll be sure to shoot you a PM next time I'm headed that way.

How do you like that stall?

I like it a lot. I just put in 3.73 gears so it feels even better now. I have had a stall in this car for so long I wouldn't even know what it was like to drive one without! If you decide to put one in I can help. I have put in my share of torque converters.

I'll keep ya in mind when I get one. Its not a matter of if, its when. Right now the car has a 2400-2600ish stall. I was trying to decide between a 3600 and 4000, seeing as the car will be a turn-key car - to where I could still DD it if I chose to.
