Smile New camaro owner here

Hi, I recently (3 weeks ago) finally decided to get rid of my 98' V6 Mustang and get a Camaro, and I found a 99' Camaro Z28 6 speed which I now happily own. I currently live in Barksdale AFB, LA. I would also like to know if this air lid is stock, I don't believe it is, My shifter handle has an H on it but I don't know if it's Hurst or aftermarket, my friend said it felt like a short throw shifter and doesn't believe it's stock. it also came with a Borla catback.

those old stock 4.6s will be easy pickings with the new ride but the new 5.0s are pretty quick. good luck when you get some extra cash a cam and headers really wakes up these ls1s. good luck with the new ride .
