Default New to the forum.....and LS1's

hi folks, i recently made the switch to 'new school' power. i just let go of my last (for now) muscle car (71 455 trans-am) and sold my c4 convertable and jumped into a sebring silver c5 beauty. i bought it from a buddy who stepped up to a c6. when he had it, he bolted on a few parts to the tune of 12.50's. i plan to continue with just a few upgrades to knock down the et's into the 11.90's. having owned several muscle cars, i am simply amazed with this car. it's more like a car than a 'vette. im 6'3" and sit comfortably in this car. my c4 made me a little claustrophobic and the power just wasn't there. anyhoodle, im happy to have made the switch and look forward to getting to know the folks on this forum.

forum rules....gotta love 'em. i havent read them yet, are they pretty much the norm, or do they get a little wacky??
just out of curiosity, how well are the posts monitored? ive been on a couple of forums that let a LOT of b.s. fly, i personally dont care, i just want to know what to expect.

Welcome to the Board!
Pretty much the Norm.
But they're pretty good about monitoring too.
So, with that being said... Just keep it between the Ditches and Have Fun.
