Default New to the Site

Hello LS1tech. I'm currently in the search for a 99+ Camaro SS M6. I came across the site and thought I'd join. Right now I have a 91 Twin Turbo Stealth, as shown in my sig. The world of turbos is fun, and the all wheel drive launches are fun, but I'm in the mood for a rwd V8 now. When the LS1 first became available to the Z's, my dad picked one up in 98, so I've had my taste of what they're like. Well, just thought I'd introduce myself. Later. -David

Welcome aboard,I had a 91 Stealth TT about 10 years ago.It was one of the most fun cars I have ever owned.Looking under the hood terrified me though,it was packed under there and I was a noob.I blew one of the synchros,sold it and moved on to a 92 Vette.Since you have driven an LS-1 you know the fun you can have with these cars,good luck.

Welcome! I had a 1990 300 ZX Twin Turbo M5 before my Vette. Yes the world of turbos is fun, but complex and expensive. Good luck!

Those stealths are great, saw one racing a crotch rocket the other night on Woodward, but nothing is better than the growl that comes from the almighty LS1!

Welcome!!!

Yea, I love my Stealth but it hasn't been much more than problems. I love the whistle of the turbos but they are very complex. I'm ready for the V8. I found a 2000 SS Camaro in the Cincinatti area; it's at a Kia dealership. I was thinking that if someone traded the SS in for a Kia, they must've been on something. If it's still there by next weekend, I'm drivin to check it out and hopefully pick it up. The catch is I'm waiting on the money from a guy that is buying my Grand Am. The way it looks, I'll have the LS1 within 2 weeks. I'll let you all know when I get it. See ya. -David
