Cool Kev, I've got an exam on Friday, a paper due on Monday, and another paper due next Wednesday, and then one more exam next Friday...so I'll be locked up w/ no free time at least until the weekend after next.
You've gotta pm.

Lol, thanks for the offer Derek. I can't believe I'm actually parting with it. I love that thing man. Best car I've ever owned.
Oh well, now I'l be driving a Ford Escort Wagon. 5 speed, white, clean interior. Was in a wreck so it needs a hood and front bumper, but it runs perfect. Getting it for free. I plan on buying a crotch rocket with the money from the Formula. I know I won't mod that thing, lol.
Side note, did you break 11's with the Formula, or is that title from the Nova?

Hey Kev, forgot to mention cross drilled and slotted rotors from iRotors along with Hawk HPS brake pads. Villain281H and I put them on at his house.
Also, the antenna on the car broke off the first and last time I went through a gas station car wash. So the radio in the car doesn't work, only the CD player. Once again, a minor thing that I never planned on fixing but I thought you should know of.

J,
Nope, the Formula is still slow and I haven't done any mods to it in about 2 years (see, you can drive and enjoy the car without modifying it), so the title is with the Nova, and hopefully this year we can drop the et down a tad more.
GeorgeC recently bought a bike as well, and he seems to like it better (10.0s at 141 mph with just exhaust mods) than the LS1, can't imagine why

And yeah, as far as the bike goes...I'll probably have it before summer. CBR600/929/954RR, GSX-R600/750/1000, or an R1. Good times shall be had!
Kevin, the stopping power is awesome. Ask Derek, he drove it for some shakedowns after the install.
He did pretty good for a newb M6 driver, lol bwahahaha, jk. 7 Second Club

yep, I'm still a newb in some areas of LS1's Sometimes I wish I still had something I could but bracket racing is all about consistency, so auto is the choice there. Maybe my next beater will be a manual.

i'm pretty sure i'm going to find a t/a hatch and repaint the entire car pewter or black...that way everything is matching but this might be a little ways off depending on how i'm liking the way it looks so i might need the tips if i convert the rear bumper but i doubt i'll do that...thanks though..i'm kinda undecided on what i want to do with it

black is ok? did you get the formula?
here's another black camaro:
1999 CHEVROLET CAMARO V8 2D COUPE SS
VIN: 2G1FP22G6X2118759
Color: BLACK
Mileage: 48,382
i agree with your dad about mileage. if it's more than
11k miles a year, i let the repair cost gamblers pay more
than me.

haha...i'm going to see it tuesday...i'm not really interested in camaro's as much as i am in trans am's...i think this is going to be the car for me...i'll prolly pick it up next saturday if everything works out alright...i figure i can buy a high mileage car and get a forged engine and a 12-bolt and be done with it...when the time comes to replace the clutch i can have the tranny rebuilt...then i'd be in for much less money for what i wanted to do in the first place...i just need to find a trans am hatch...not a HUGE deal but would be very nice to have it instead of the formula one...
