Default My first LS1

Been a Mopar guy for a long, long, time but have recently sold the car and all my spare parts and just bought a 99 z28 convertible. Been working for GM for a few years now and felt it was time. Of course I am planning to mod it, but don't know how far as of yet. Does anybody ever really know that though? Probably hang around and do some reading.

Thumbs up

Unless I missed them...




But congrats. I have had mine for just over 3 weeks so I share your excitement. My last Camaro was a 79 Z28.

Just a warning, once you start, you won't stop modding it. Mine was on a 3k dollar budget at first, but that went to **** a long time ago. Now I'm over 5 times that amount.

Welcome, you'll have a lot of fun with your new ride.
