Default new from Central ohio (COFBA)

well I don't have an LS1 quite yet. I'm in the market for one again though. Waiting to sell my '95 AWD Talon before making a purchase. Talked my mom into buying her new '00 Z28 Vert(triple black). have friends who have some SICK LS1's and after driving the madre's, i'm gettin into the game. Goal is to have the 'camaro running quicker than the talon by next summer. pretty much means 11's as the talon is capable of 12.2's. Lookin for a LS1 Z six speed for under 10k. oh and the talon is 6k obo if anyone's interested.

Nope, never heard of that site. Sometimes I post on Cofba (Central Ohio F-body Association) under 00 SLVR Z.

So are you going to buy your mom's car? If so, how much? And you said you wanted an M6 for under 10k? There's tons of LS1 A4's out there for sale for under 10k, but there is a '99 TA M6 for 10k with 77k miles. It's the only M6 I've seen for around 10k. If you want to settle on a A4, there are some for sale ranging from 6k to 10k. Get at me on aim and we can talk and I can let you know where these LS1's are at. Later

i guess in the back of my mind, i still want that 11 second slip outta my 4 cyl. talon. it's just a huge money pit and looks like ***. i want a car that has power and torque but looks great and LEATHER interior and a RADIO. i'm tired of just listenin to the turbo and exhaust.....
