Default New LS1 owner

Hey everyone, I'm finally a LS1 owner.

So here's my story.

My first car was a 2000 v6 firebird. I wanted a trans am , but couldn't afford one so i got the next best thing. It started out stock, and now has quite a few mods. It is the model car for the PFYC.com taillight blackout covers.

http://www.pfyc.com/pc/FB1007/FBEXT/...+Firebird.html

I'm 20 years old and I now have a 2001 WS.6 that is a monster compared to the V6. I've always wanted one, and i finally have one.
I'm the third owner and i bought it off a guy on tnfbody.com.

Mods include: A4 to M6 swap, Ram Powergrip HD clutch, Pacesetter Longtubes, QTP Off Road y-Pipe, Flowmaster Catback, Flowtech Cutout, Coolant By-pass Kit, High Flow Lid, Smooth Bellows, Shock Tower Brace, Adjustable Panhard Bar, Tubular Lower Control Arms, Eibach Lowering Springs Up front and hose mod out back, Granatelli 200 MPH speedo, 6-Point Rollbar, Subframe connecters, 3.73 gears, C5 front brakes.

All these mods were done by previous owner, only mods i've done so far is Ceta Mod, and i Recently ordered a MGW Short throw shifter.

I've had it a couple months now, and seeing as its winter, i haven't got to enjoy it as much as i wanted to, I cant wait till it starts warming up, and the local drag strip opens.

Anyways, I want to say I love this site and I have been visiting the site ever since i got my V6, now that I finally have a LS1, I decided to become a member.
