Default New LS1 owner

Hey guys, new 2004 LS1 GTO owner here. It's a Phantom Black Metallic manual. Figured I'd join the site for more engine specific advice that I'd get on ls1gto. And to post along the way to help others along down the road. So hello!

They appear to be powdercoated. And the paint is good besides the swirl. Because all GM black is about as tough as butter

I plan on going CTS-V(1 Fronts/2 Rear) Brake kit, Exhaust, Cam, LS6 intake and maybe some nitrous along the way. I have had the car for 3 weeks and already found out the thermal range for the 04 brakes, they are very very low. Even in the winter haha.
