Default new from michigan

Lorne here new from monroe,mi, . obviously the Ls1 is my hobbie. Ive always searched this site for answers and dont know why I never joined. I had a 99 z28 which was my learning car, I made alot of mistakes but also learned alot from her. recently I bought my 2002 trans am firehawk #780 with now 39,*** miles on her. She is a virgin. I just stripped the window banner and yellow bird off the front but this picture is from before that. I took them off cause I figured out they were not factory.

Welcome. I replied to your post on Toledo Tuners as well. Sharp ride. Trans Am Nationals are going on in Dayton on the last weekend in August if you're interested. We'll have at least 3 LS1 Birds rolling down from the Toledo area.
