Hey guys, I'll be new to the LS1 world in a few days. I'm going to purchase ssmokinss's 2000 Triple Black SS. Automatic 54k Miles. Near perfect condition. I'm not new to the F-body scene as I own a '95 v6. I have been lurking on these forums for an extremely long time but never signed up as I didn't have the v8 required to do so. Now that I will have the mightly LS1 in my posession *flex* the information that I've read out I can finally put to good use.

I plan on finishing the exhaust with MAC headers and ORY and then a 90/90 intake. Since I still live with my parents and my mother was a trauma nurse she dislikes the idea of me having a convertible in the unlikely event that I would flip the car and become a vegetable, so does anyone have any ideas for a roll bar or something that would put her at ease? Thats about it for here. See you guys on the board.

It was nice to meet you, and even nicer to drive your car... my car all the way back down. Rides just as smooth as it could ever do.
