Default Finally Behind the wheel of an Ls1! :-)
Hey Guys i had an LT1 T/A for a few months but ever since i was 14 and my cousin got a ws6 for his highschool graduation i have wanted an LS1, i just never had enough to swing one. I finally found one for the right price, it was alittle rough on the outside when i bought it, but mechanically it runs like new. Alittle bit of time and patience and she shines like a new penny :-). Needless to say i love my car and am proud to own an LS1








Its a 99 z28 a4 totally stock just a mufflex 3 inch muffler, sounds pretty good, cant wait to do a cutout, Im located in NY Rockland County , but this week i go to school up in Uconn, let me know if anyones up there
