New from NC Hey,
My name is Travis, I'm 16 and from Raleigh, NC. I've been a member of this site for a while now, reading and learning all I can about LS1's. I can't think of a day when I havent been to this site!
Well I finally picked up a 1998 Arctic White Camaro Z28 A4
on 1/20/06. After wanting one since I was 12 and now getting one as my first car, I feel like the luckiest man alive!! My parents said they would buy it for me, which I declined (they've already been too good to me as it is) so I am making monthly payments to them, until I can pay the car off.
Anyways about the car lol, as I said its a 98 Z28 A4. It's Arctic White/Tan Leather, full option. Mods include: SS Hood, Gloss Black Berger Panel, 17x9.5 Chrome Z06's wrapped in 275/40/17 Bridgestone Potenza tires, on the appearance side
. And a SLP Lid, K&N Filter and a cutout on the performance side 
.
Looking forward to great time in the LS1 community.
EDIT: Here are some night pics I took Friday:
THE SS BADGES WILL BE REMOVED ASAP!!!! I did not put those on there, so please no flaming!!

you got yourself a decent start on the mods, wish I would of been able to get a z28 when I was 16. I ended up getting a 98 v6, which was a good start to learning how to drive. good luck with your car there. I bet the chicks dig it. haha

What's up Travis, I'm from NC myself..I was wondering if you bought it from a fella in Garner? I had talked to someone a little while back that had one,the one I talked to the owner about had alot of miles on it though..But was a very pretty camaro..He was asking like $7500 for it.. Well anyhow, nice to see someoneelse from NC here..I'm trying to learn more about turbocharging the v8's here.And really seems to be about the best site for doing so.. You have any pictures of your ride yet??Here's a site with some pictures of my camaro..Come check it out man.. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/240527 I'm hoping to maybe start going to some shows so maybe I'll see you sometime around.... Cya man.. And nice ride..

Yeah that was the guy I bought it from. I was leary myself about the mileage but once me and my dad looked at it, we couldn't say no. $7500 seemed like a great deal and I still feel we got an amazing one. Where in NC are you from?

welcome! beautiful car you have there. Treat her well and I know you probably hear this a lot, but be careful. I was 16 once too and I know how horsepower crazy I was with my car 
You are really fortunate to have such a nice car at that age, but at least you are being responsible and paying for it! Props to you!
