Default New guy here

Always wanted to sign up on this site. Not an LS1 car owner but hopefully in two year's time I will be.

My absolute dream car is a T/A WS6 (98+) First thing I'm doing once I start work as an apprentice mechanic is going out and buying one. Don't even care how financially strapped I am, buying one and that's it.

I drive a 95 Camaro right now, long story on this one, but I worked for an entire year straight, and even though it's missing two cylinders, love it and won't sell it. This car is mainly show, and it's pretty damn slow but doesn't seem to have a problem wasting the rice burners.

It's a 3800, has full exhaust, intake, built tranny with vette servo and skiftkit. Was looking into turbocharging it, highly doubt I will. I'll elaborate more on plans in a different post somewhere. Yes I know V6s aren't worth modding, don't need to tell me

Anyway, hope to see everyone around... now to fill out my profile

Welcome to the site man. Good luck on the car deal. You can probably find a good deal on a WS6 on this site when your ready. I love mine.

I doubt that, none of us are ever set. First it's an Fbody, then it's a nicer Fbody, then a vette, then a nicer vette, then a veyron, then a spaceship.... well you get the idea.

Anyway welcome to the site and good luck with buying your WS6, don't stretch your budget too thin though, need money for mods

I'm a special exception, once I get my WS6 I'll be happy
