WOW! Absolutely gorgeous! Reminds me of when I bought mine a couple years ago. It already had the built, procharged engine, but the interior and exterior were pristine and it had 45k on it. Once again, BEAUTIFUL car and congrats!

I had the SLP 2OTL system as well. I loved that catback, the sound was pefect on my cam/headers/ORY car; not too loud, not too quiet. Flow is excellent too, I've seen a cammed LS1 only gain 2-3hp over that catback by opening the cutout on the dyno. Only reason I ditched it was because I just didn't like how it looked on my Trans Am rear bumper, having that passenger side tailpipe provision without tips just looked silly.

But that system is an excellent choice for a Camaro or Formula. Too bad SLP stopped making it.

Well, how did your mom know he made a thread on her before you saw it?

Nice, clean car. Welcome aboard. I live out in New Lenox but we always cruise through Downers Grove & Woodridge. You should check out the Midwestern Forum. We always post up when we are having a meet or car cruise.

I really didnt know what to expect. I thought you had '94-'96 in "ok" condition. I guess I was wrong. We will have to get together sometime soon, hopefully the weather will clear up.

So Chris' s mom is on the site? I dunno, it' s just hard to believe that perhaps Chris' s mom walked by while he was tooling around on the board, and then just told your mom the next day that he posted on he. Most moms don' t know ****! If you asked my mom what the significance of LS1 was she' d tell you 2 letters and a number!

LOL... ok, here we go!

I met TORCHD 02 about 2-3 years ago. I only met him once. His mother and my mother both work together in the same office. I heard that TORCHD 02 was into cars from my mom. So, I told my mom to tell TORCHD 02's mom that I joined this site and that her son should go on here and check out my car, since hes into cars. I didnt know that TORCHD 02 already was a frequent user of this site. Does that clear things up?
