Default Got my Z......finaly

well it is official....i sold my mustang on sat. and not even an hour later i was filling out paperwork on my 02 nbm Z28 m6 wow im totally hooked on these cars! now i know what all the hype was about the "almighty ls1"....lol its completely stock! they are so much more torquey than the mustangs, and definitely pull harder than any bolt on mustang ive driven! and man the t-tops are icing on the cake! the day i bought it, it was like 80 degrees so me and my buddy who just sold his mustang for his 99 Z28, went cruising with em off! man i love this car!!!!!

ive already ordered my SLP LTs, o/r Y pipe, and LM2s...along with SLP intake and c5 chrome rims and tires! im gettin it tuned next week so does 350rwhp seem out of the question?

ive heard people say that without a tune and LTs the car runs rough...is that true?

and the tuner does a pay once kinda thing! u pay like 350 or 400 for the first tune and every one after that is free or somethin?

oh i know, i cant wait to get this thing really making power! my mustang was blown but it really didnt impress me much anymore, but this car just amazes me at how well it pulls all through the powerband! its crazy! time to eat some rice i guess?
