Default New Ls1 Owner (not F-body)

I just purchased a 99 LS1 TA M6. I had to drive it quite a ways to get home. It has Hooker LT's and Corsa exhaust, with a Comp cam 224duration 566 lift I think. All I can say is "Hell Yeah!!! The switch from A4 to M6 was one thing but basically stock LT1 to cammed LS1 is mind blowing. Not to mention the braking ability is a lot better and the suspension is definately tighter. I love LT1's but... the LS1 is #1 now in my opinion.

I guess I need to change my name or something.

3rd f-body by the way

85 Z-28
93 TA
99 TA

Oh yeah, somebody buy my LT1. It's for sale!!

The best thing is just sittin at the light with it just idlin (with the windows up and the AC on). It attracts a lot of attention just by the sound alone. Oh yeah not to mention it pulls like a mother on the highway compared to my good old LT1. I showed a buddy of mine the car, and when I started it up he listened to it for a second and said "Hey you got a vacuum leak." I just laughed and shook my head.

How much are you asking for the LT1? Wat's the mileage?

Welcome aboard! I've had mine (LS1) about four years now and it still makes me grin when I put my foot down, and I haven't even really started engine mods yet. Lots to look forward to.
