Hey guys, My names Kyle I'm from Danvers MA. I just bought a VERY clean silver 98 SS. Ive never owned an F body car before, but I've driven and worked on a few. I fell in love with this car on the two hour+ trip home. Thank you Noyzee2 for all you're help, and Brad if you see this don't think I'm scared we'll do those free mods!

Very nice. Looks clean. I bought mine with 53,000 but they add up quick when you really enjoy the car!

yeah, the car is friggen beautiful. I still cant believe its sitting in my driveway. Ask bobby i must have had the biggest smile on my face on the drive home. The guy i bought it from had tons of paperwork, the original 98 camaro pamphlet, dyno sheet, gave me two car covers, he was really a great guy. I love the fact its a stripper too. hardtop, crank windows, only option on the window sheet is the SS package.

Welcome to the forum, that is a sharp looking SS. I love the sound of Corsa exhaust on LS1s. Don't feel like there's any rush to go crazy with mods, you've got the important ones done, take your time and enjoy the car.
