Default Just got a LS1

Well to start off my name is Matt and I just bought a 98 WS6 Formula in Sport Gold Metallic and its a M6. The car has 52xxx miles and has had one owner. I got the window sticker as well as all of its maintence records from a power mirror motor to oil changes.

Im not really new to the Fbody world but am new to LS1's. I will make sure that I do searches and try not to be an annoying newb. Thank you.

Nice, man. There can't be too many cars exactly like yours running around; I don't think I've ever seen that color in person! Welcome to the site!
