Default Neewbie from Austin TX

Just wanted to intro myself. I have a 00' Black Z28. I am the third owner of the car. I bought it from a good friend. I was also lucky enough to have just met the original owner who did all the mods. It is not wicked fast but it will due the job for now. It has LS6 intake, MTI C1 cam, MTI Custom Tune, FLP headers, high flow cats, Flowtech cut out, Random Tech Cat-back, LS6 clutch, PRO 5.0 shifter, Eibach Pro Kit(1.5" front/1.3" rear. Hotchkis ST brace/ welded SF connecters, 10 Spoke Chrome SS wheels. And every option offered on a' 00 Z28
Like I said, it is not crazy, but it has had quality mods done to it, not to mention the fact that the two previous owners took EXCELLENT care of it.
That's about it for the intro.

Cool one more Austin Texas member on the board!!!

Hey get sway-bars!!! Try the Hotchkis or Strano Sway-Bars! They will completement the springs well. Plus the Hotchkis has a bigger rear bar that will help your launch and they are as light a feather.
