Smile New LS1 Owner Now

My name is Al and I am from Kentucky. I just recently purchased my first LS1. It is a 2000 Firehawk Trans Am with all SLP options. Looking to meet and talk to other LS1 owners and have hope to help me answer my questions. Here is pictures of my 2000 Bird https://ls1tech.com/forums/album.php?albumid=972

Thank you guys, I used to have a 99 Firebird Convertible and saw this one for sale so ended up trading the convertible. My wife also has a 1998 RAM AIR TA and we love our cars.

fastmatt98, you are right about this site and that is the reason I joined because I want to do what you have done on yours. How much have you put into your car on all the MODS if you dont mind me asking?

Greenup County... it's about an hour and a half northeast of Lexington, right on the Ohio River!

Cool, is that anywhere near Morehead, KY or Ashland, KY? I travel that way every week to go to Huntington, WV for business trips.

haha, yeah! It's pretty close to Ashland, it's just the next county over. I actually live in South Point, Ohio now, which is only like 5 minutes from Huntington, and I work in Barboursville!

Yeah that is where I stay all the time in the brand new Holiday Inn on 60 by the mall, I really like Barboursville but only by the mall side, and Huntington I don't like since it was rated the poorest health ranking city in the country, lucky them.

Wow! I got this car for 12K and if I put another 5-6K that is allot of money, but do you think it would be worth doing it on my 2000 TA? I have 80K miles on the car.
