Default My First LS1 :)

So ive been e member of the forum for awhile now, reading up alot. I friend of mine has a '98 Formula that i have helped him work on for almost 3 years now. I have owned 2 third gens, but just this past weekend i purchased my first LS1! its a '98 Z28, Blk on Blk, 6spd, T-tops, with 105,000 miles. I believe i got a good deal on it. Only mods are a catback and lid. Car needs some tlc but other wise runs great. I know a fair amount about the 4th gens, but cant wait to learn more now that i own one. I am in the Northern VA area, Dumfries to be exact, so if any of you live around here, hit me up! id love to meet some fellow enthusiasts.

right now im cleaning it up, it wasnt taken care cosmetically by the previous owner. paint isnt 100% and the interior needs some work. loks like he "attempted" to put carpet in it, but it wasnt the right kind? it doesnt fit right at all. so its got little things here and there. I just bought some corvette y2ks locally, so those will be going on once i can afford tires. i want to do full bolt ons and maybe a cam. nothing too crazy, but enough to have some fun. tint the windows, whistler mod, HIDs, of course full suspension... but thats all down the road.
