Majoring in Finance and Management. Want to do something along the lines of a Commercial Loan Officer.

I've saved up/invested a lot of money. Investment fund for house, car, and even retirement. (I'm a nerd at age 19, but what do you expect; my dad is a EVP/CFO of a bank - this **** has been instilled in me throughout my lifetime)

Right now I think I'm at around ~$35,000 for the car fund in investments. Should get me a nice used C6. Just waiting until after college. Can't even convince myself to sell my LT1 ws6. First car I fell in love with, ya know?

That's not being a nerd, thats being damned smart.

And I wouldn't sell it.

Haha I would not consider myself a nerd by any means, except when it comes to being a gearhead. Was just being sarcastic. It all pays off in the end for sure.

And yeah, my love for the car and how rare it is makes me never want to really sell it. Not too many clean LT1 F-body WS6's in my area anymore. Most of the 93-97 Lt1's are beat to ****. So I like the idea of being rare. It has also become a battle within myself when I do my build to see how much I can make out of the good ole LT1 AKA: boat anchor, LT-Won , god damn optispark

I have had a v6 camaro forever and that thing is a nightmare to make fast so its parked.

im not saying im the fast but this car is quick and on a good day yeah a bike would tear me up im not an idiot they are quick lil things but on that day it was different just like with every other race... ive suffered like 2 losses so far in this car and its a decent list
Wow I can't believe you're 24, you are special. So tell me out of the list below what car was faster shorties/intake/50 shot LT1? (other than the vette you made up)

it is pretty awsome not belonging to the common lt1 crowd. most lts are not respected, but if you make one fast it turns heads quick. i dont consider mine fast. maybe quick. it still gets a decent amount of attention from the stockish mustang guys lookin to pick on an lt1. doesnt usually turn out well for those guys. i hope this affects your decision on whether or no to sell the ws6

The hardest beating of my life in a race was against a LT1. It was pretty ugly. Bad thing is I was in a 700rwhp Z06. Worse thing is, he didn't hit the 2nd stage. I was pretty happy until I found that out.

You know when the car shows up on a flat bed, 15" wheels all around, no license plate, and the C16 burns your eyes when it fires up....you are going to have a bad night.

I've seen a ton of Fast LT1s in Ohio the last time I was there. A lot of them could take on many N/A LS1s in this forum.

Sounds like our buddies fox. Minus the 30" slicks, tubs, wheely bars, parachute, and the sound of impending doom when it fires up, you "might" not think much of it. Then when he runs a low 9 with his first stage shutting off at the 330 mark, and not even hitting the 2nd stage....yea, bad night for you.

Who knows. The guy is very shady about what is told about the car. I know its proshifted T56 though and at every redlight when we were going out to race he would turn the car off. Oh and it was carbed. Looks pretty cool, it has a SS hood and everytime the car shifts the scoop lights up cause of the flame. The guy owns his own performance shop too so no telling.

Are you sure its a lt1? There is a guy around our parts that took his (IIRC, others might chime in that know the set up better) 5xx inch BBC out of his 71 camaro, and put it into a tubed 4th gen. Low 8 sec car that is "street" driven.

I'm not 100% sure, no. Its a LT1 Camaro though and he claims its a LT1. But then again he had a "stock" 03 Cobra with nitrous.
