First, I am from Rochester. I was born down and Honeoye. Just moved up to the city recently.

Second, It came with a magnaflow catback, other than that its stock, for now. It is an automatic. I took it to the track over the weekend. It was my first time and as a result my 60 foot was horrible, which lead to a 13.8 at 103 with a 2.19 60 as my best time. I'm pleased though, I'm sure as I learn to drive it that will improve. Still fast enough to beat my friends Audi s4 (14.2).

Yeah, I used to have an 89 rs with a 305 I drove that thing around Honeoye lake on a pretty regular basis. Absolutely nothing could beat driving those curvy roads with the tops off with that beautiful sound of a V8. Once I moved up here I knew I wanted something with t-tops again so thats what I used to start my search, found this and lucked my way into it 2 days before I actually needed it for my new job.

There are a bunch of us ls1 guys here in Rochester. If you have any questions New Era Performance (Buffalo Road) is the place to go for answers. Time to start modding!!! PM me if you are interested in going to the track.
