Default Just bought my first fbody

Hi I'm Matt from Ohio and I just bought my first fbody, a 2001 Camaro Z28 m6. It has 32k miles on it and the previous owner added 410 gears, mac headers, slp lid, predator tuner, ported tb, flowmaster catback with ory and an electric cutout. It's also lowered on eibachs.

Here's a few pictures...







I actually bought it from a memeber on here and he said it ran a 12.7 at 114 which is quite a change from my intercooled GTP.

Definitely a good deal. He bought it from a guy in my area. Beautiful car, I'll miss seeing it drive around.

Not sure yet, probably keep it as is. Was tossing around the idea of a cam but I kinda want to keep the motor stock especially with the low miles. Might get some different wheels, possibly something with a fat lip in the rear. Honestly, it has everything I was planning on doing to whatever fbody I would have bought.
