Hey guys, just bought a 2001 z28 a few months back. Haven't been able to stop putting miles on it since. It came with 63,000 on it, and only one previous owner who had bought it new. I figured I would put some money into it this winter and make a nice hobby out of it, make some good friends along the way.. This seemed like a nice place to start.
Excuse the crappy camera phone image, thats all I have with me right now.

Hey thanks everyone :)
First, I am from Rochester. I was born down and Honeoye. Just moved up to the city recently.
Second, It came with a magnaflow catback, other than that its stock, for now. It is an automatic. I took it to the track over the weekend. It was my first time and as a result my 60 foot was horrible, which lead to a 13.8 at 103 with a 2.19 60 as my best time. I'm pleased though, I'm sure as I learn to drive it that will improve. Still fast enough to beat my friends Audi s4 (14.2).
Yeah, I used to have an 89 rs with a 305 I drove that thing around Honeoye lake on a pretty regular basis. Absolutely nothing could beat driving those curvy roads with the tops off with that beautiful sound of a V8. Once I moved up here I knew I wanted something with t-tops again so thats what I used to start my search, found this and lucked my way into it 2 days before I actually needed it for my new job.

Welcome to the F body world. I also will be back at Fort Drum in 15 or so months God willing. Pretty much goes for anyone in the area...once I get back if you need any help wit your F body do let me know. I worked at ProCharger, was a GM dealer tech, have done a good bit of PCM tuning, and am a total torque junkie. I have 3 vehicles so far in my company to tune with HP Tuners when I get back.

There are a bunch of us ls1 guys here in Rochester. If you have any questions New Era Performance (Buffalo Road) is the place to go for answers. Time to start modding!!! PM me if you are interested in going to the track.

Ah your car doesn't have a borla catback on it does it? I saw some guy with a BR Z28 with snowflakes wheels just like yours heading towards the fairport area a few hours ago.

Welcome to the boards.
I am also From Syracuse. Glad to see some fellow New Yorkers on here.
Your first mod should be a 3500 or better torque converter. Trust me:D
