Hey all, I'm new here. I come from the 73-87 Chevy truck world! I traded my 1983 c10 with a 377 stroker for a 98 white LS1 Trans am.

I've heard that as well, but this one is an automatic.

Fairly short term goals are to get rid of the black corvette wheels for some nice chrome ones, and to get a ws6 hood.

Dude, that's pretty low. On the roadtrip we took to the F-Body gathering a few years ago, we got 28-29 mph pretty consistently (at least when we drove the speed limit) in a 2002 Camaro SS.

Hell, my A4 Formula gets 22 mpg, it did even better before I changed the rear end gear and put in the high stall converter.
