Default Hello from FL!

Whats up guys my name is John, I posted under an earlier thread about how far you would go for your ls1. Well just drove back 1,400 miles for mine and it was worth every mile. Its a red 2000 SLP SS M6 that I got in New York, it had 27,383 miles before the journey.

Car has (of what I know of)
crank pulley,
SLP mass air (from which I hear is not good for tuning unless you are making some serious power)
Jet-Hot Long tubes
off-road H
True duals
LS6 intake
SLP lid, line lock, strut tower brace, subframes

Here's a couple dirty pics with a crappy camera (I'll get better pics at a later date)













I sold a mustang to buy this lovely piece of work, and I know nothing about it, any and all imput is welcome.

its not as fast yet, but I didn't go looking to buy my car on whats fastest. An f-body was the first car I always wanted to buy, now I finally have one. I like everything about the car for what it is, reguardless of speed. I no longer just own a 'mustang' but now a SS .

and to flat out answer the question, I love it.
