Default Coming from the darkside

Well as the title says that's exactly what it means. As of right now I own a 06 mustang GT with some minor bolt-ons but I'm purchasing a 2001 Camaro SS M6 and let's just say I couldn't be any happier with my decision. Most all of my friends own f-bodys, corvettes, or LSx vehicles and I'm finally going to be apart of the club . I've been a Ford guy most of my life but after being around LSx cars most of the time I've finally been converted and I don't think I'll ever go back to the blue oval. Well just wanted to stop in and say hello to everyone and I've been reading Kill stories on this site for many months and now that I'm going to be owning a LSx car I decided to make an account. I look forward to making new friends and being apart of the GM family cause most of the mustang owners I had met were always such douche bags so lets just say I'm happy to be here.

-Russ

Welcome!

I come from a Ford family, but couldn't resist the LS1 either.

I'm taking delivery of the SS in 2 weeks (just waiting for the auction to end on my car and finish up all the paper work) so i'm extremely anxious to get outta the stang and into the camaro. I'll post some pics of the camaro when I get it, and thanks for the warm welcome.
