Default a z28 just pulled in...

hi everyone! another new guy here. im russell, 24 yrs old and i've been a fan of american muscle cars almost all my life, and yes even the mustangs. in fact, i own one. however, i've recently purchased an 02 camaro z28 35th anniverary edition. the only thing i dont like about it, is that its an automatic, but believe me that'll change. other than that, its completely stock. i bought the car yesterday for $15,000 with 17,000 miles and a clean title- so how could i resist it, even for an automatic? its also black and pewter with a t-top. pewter isn't really my steez, but it'll work for now. i dont plan to leave it stock for long, so i definetly will modify it. tomorrow i plan to install an exhaust system, and next week perhaps rims- but thats after i do some reseach on this kick a$$ site. thats all for now. I hope i'll be a beneficial member on this forum, just like i benefit from everyone else.

i'll post pics when i get a chance!

welcome. A4's are faster than M6's

get a stall, gears, and better suspension and you will wonder why you ever drove a stick. plus now you have an extra hand to make "nice" with your girlfriend.
