Default fbody owner from IA

hey hows everyone doin. im from iowa. im new to ls1tech, however i am not new to the well known f-body. im a member of the armed forces and ive been a proud owner of 2 f-bodies for a few years now. im am very knowledgeable on firebirds, camaros and corvettes but i know there is still much to learn. heres what i own so far....

1993 firebird formula - black, hardtop, A4, original rims, slp loudmouth II catback, hypertech chip, k&n c/a, 99-00 corvette computer module, msd wires, all royal purple synthetic fluids, wix filter....so far.
thinking about putting this one up for sale since im in school...its tough to keep up!


2001 firebird formula - arctic white, ttops, A4, loaded, ebony lthr, original rims, d/d borla catback(sounds mean as hell btw), slp ram air hood(not yet painted...still tryin to decide the color scheme), also have some parts purchased that havent been put on due to weather...so far.


...i havent yet taken these cars to the track, but i figure still close to factory times...93/13.8-14.0....01/12.9-13.3...thats my educated guess. both cars are in great shape too...always maintain changing of the fluids/washes and waxes! looking forward to hearing everones response...until then take care

Name sounds really familiar. How old is he? I graduated in 05 and I think he is a few years older than me.

I'm currently in Dubuque. I see a few f-bods and there are at least 2 GTO's that I know of in town. Also there is a black CTS-V in Platteville.
