Default DSM'er

I'm in the market for a new car. And I am hooked on T/A Ws6's.

I joined the site to learn about the Ls1, and maybe even find a new car.

So if I'm caught doing some of this dont be alarmed, Im just learning as much as I can. I know enough about my DSM, but I dont know nearly as much about the Ls1 and its drivetrain.

Oh yeah, and no Import Flamming!

DSM's are pretty cool, glad you're joining the LS1 team too, though. In my book nothing beats the sound and pull of good ol' american muscle!
