Default n00b from St Louis
Getting ready to purchase a '98 vette 6 spd. I got tired of the wrx and figured if I was going to get shitty gas mileage and actually wanted to go fast, I might as well buy an ls1 eh? Anyways, just saying whats up.

Default 98' Vette > WRX
Actually go fast and shitty gas mileage?


Well I agree that the LS1 is a better choice than what the WRX has to offer. Good luck with the 98 Vette and FWIW the 98' Vette is a sweet ride.


Welcome
