Default New Car

Well back in September, my 94 Z28 started knocking. I parked the car with the intention to rebuild the motor. To make a long story short, I didn't feel like spending all the money to have a stock motor, and couldn't come across a built LT1. A buddy of mine decided to sell his 98 SS for a duramax, so I decided to get rid of my car. I sold my 94 last weekend, and picked up my new car tonight. It's a Red 1998 SS with only 89,000 miles. The car is a 6 speed, has T-tops and leather interior. It's also got Hooker Long tubes, SLP Loudmouth, lid, K&N filter, and an LS6 intake. I was really surprised by just how much of a difference in power there is between the 2 cars. The car is a blast to drive. I'll try to get pictures up at some point, but it was too dark when I got home.

I finally got some pictures resized. Let me know what you guys think of it. Still need to get some interior and engine bay pics. I'm sure the 3.90's will really wake the car up. I'm excited to get them installed. I just have to wait a little, because I have car insurance due.
