Default Just got an 02 WS6!!!

Hey everyone, my name is Don, ive been posting and more so reading on here a while but I FINALLY got my dream car. Yes i have been dreaming of getting a 98-02 black WS6 since I was about 17 or so. I told myself I would not buy a car until I could finally afford one. Now, at 24 years old I finally got one!!!

Its a black 02 ws6 coupe with about 53,000 miles. I had to look for a car with the usual bolt ons plus a H/C package because It would just cost me too much to purchase it and pay for alll the labour. So I was very meticulous on my searching.

The car has
PRC 5.3l 220cc 2.5 heads
Custom Cam from Patrick G
Pacesetter Longtubes
True duals w/dynomax bullets, no cats, dumped
textralia OZ700 x-grip clutch
and some other stuff

Im being serious when i say this is my dream car. Other than exotic cars like Ferraris, Lambos, etc my favorite car is a 98-02 WS6

I also have a suspension/exhaust issue if any of you would like to chime in with your oppinions and help please, thanks! https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...rue-duals.html


----NEW! : took pics few days ago but cant find the stupid usb plug to transfer the pics to comp, i did get a pic done with my 4 year old pos cellphone but it didnt come out too bad, here!!
