Cool Is this a bad thing?!

Some of u may remember me from back when I had my 96 Mystic Teal Formula. I loved that car. Man oh man was I crazy for lt1's then! Accident,life,divorce,etc caused me to set cars to the side for a while tho.

This summer, I got back to a point, where I could have a car again tho, so I started shopping for that clean enough lt1. I searched, and searched.....

But unfortunately, Nothing caught my eye, so I commited a sin, and bought a ls1 camaro! The price was right, it was clean, runs like a champ, and of course, its fast.

However, I find myself still wanting an lt1 instead. Id be lieing if I said I haven't thought of trading my ls1 car for a lt1 car.

Is this a bad thing?!

Click the link in my Sig, to see my ls1.


Miss all u lt1 nuts like me!

There have been many people who have had both motors and gone back to the LT1. I like both, but perfer the LT1 birds. Get whatever makes you happy...its your car.

I truly like the LT1 camaro front end way better than the 98+. If I found a wrecked 98+ camaro, it would get that front end.
