Default New to LT1s

I just got my first LT1 car a couple of weeks ago; a 1995 Z28 Convertible M6 with only 52K miles It's going to be my new daily driver since my '96 V6 car was totaled. I don't love the green stripes (which are painted on) but I can change that. Otherwise the car is amazing; it drives like brand new!

Very nice car man and welcome to the underdog LT1 crowd, one day when you decide to be like all the other fast cars in the world you'll upgrade to an LS1, afterall it's what God drives .

CAGS or skipshift elim can be a $0.99 resistor mod from Radio Shack if you so choose, don't waste you're money on a $20-40 plug in. It works just as good... http://www.installuniversity.com/ins...sity/index.htm
