Default NEW 00 black WS6 M6

Just drove 1.5 hrs and picked her up. I have never driven a manual before so its pretty crazy. Much faster than my old LT1.

here are the only 2 pics I have:






Hopefully start modding too. But for right now im kind of scared of it

In a couple of weeks you'll think it's slow.
Congrats on the purchase. Nice looking WS6 (I may be biased tho ) welcome to the site

Congrats. This is the place to come when it inevitably begins to feel slow.

Or you lose your first race to a modded Neon SRT-4.

Yeah, stock LS1's are fast for a few weeks...maybe a month...then magically they become slow. Best of luck with the car and mods.

yep I agree that after a few weeks they don't seem as fast. I got a 2000 z28 about a month ago and it doesn't feel nearly as fast as it did when I first got it. It really fells slow driving my wifes grand am gt sc/t that I used to think was pretty quick...not fast but quick.

Thanks for the comments. I paid 14,250 for it. Very good condition. No dents or major scratches or anything. 53k miles also. I am sure it will get slow soon enough. But from a A4 LT1 to a M6 LS1 is like

yeah, i bet. my a4 LT1 T/A felt like it could beat my SS down low though, but after 40 mph, theres no comparison. im glad you got one of the easiest sticks to drive instead of learning on something with a narrow powerband.
