Welcome to the club! I too am a fellow V6er. My mom wouldn't let me have a V8, but I had a Z pretty soon after I moved out.

most of my friends have v8 f-bodies and i always had a slower car, its about time to be able to keep up with them. my sisters boyfriend has a 99ss and he really likes it. now he wants my sister to buy an ss. i cant blame him though, these are great cars.

Welcome.
I also had a 3.4L 95 camaro first, but i think i had it for about 2 months before i added the z28... there is no comparison.
You're gonna have a lot of fun with it, I'm sure.
