Default New sixer in the house!

What's up guys and gals? I hang out with quite a few LS1's around here in North Carolina so I thought I'd finally register on here. I know..... I know..... I only have a V6 but I still dream one day about having an 8. I here this is the place to be if you really like Camaros and Firebirds. I'm just now finally doing some performance work to my car so that maybe one day I can leave a few Mustang GT's in the dust. I'm already dead even with them so I only need a little more power. Hehe! Nice to meet everyone!

Here's a pic of the car:

I'm about an hour from Wilmington. Near Jacksonville and the Marine Corps base Camp LeJeune. Let me know when you come back and we'll start some trouble!

Actually, now that I really think about it.....it kinda just seems like a big waste of $$$. I mean, no offense, but you'll never get that thing in, say, the 12's.

I'm just kidding man... look at how ugly my car is..... I can run 12's but I can't get the ladies!

I'll tell ya what. When I opend this thread the first thing I said was DAMN.

Now I dont care for sixxers, white cars, or chrome wheels.. I know that every once and a while I see one of the other and it looks good *LT1TA's look good in white hehe* But your cars like a triple negitive on paper, and it looks great IRL. Its one of the few sixers that would be worth droping a v8 in verses selling and buying a new car..

beautiful car man! It don't matter if it only has a 3800 in her. the 3800 is a very good motor for a v6 and in a car looking that F*CKING Nice it makes for a very nice ride. Nice job with the car and welcome to the board!

Nice ride. A "Ultra-Z" hood would totally finish the look.

Nice car, reguardless of the engine. I like your style and props for keepin her clean. Put a posi rear end (3.42 ) and get some bolt-ons and you'll be able to keep up with some stock LT1s.

At least he keeps his car looking nice. Half the cars around here have been trashed a time or two.
