Cool Just Got A WS6 (Amarillo)

Hey what's up guys?

Really excited about my new car I just bought yesterday. It's a completely stock 2000 WS6 M6. Got it at a dealer for a steal at $8,000! It pulls pretty strong, and it's pretty darn clean from the inside.

Anyways, I was wondering if there were any meets up here in Amarillo? I know winter is coming pretty soon, so I want to enjoy it while I can.

Here are some pics that I took today when I got home from the dealership:

It's got 135,000 miles on it. But it came with a 2 year warranty for motor and tranny. So I can basically rag the **** out of it for 2 years and get all the free re-manufactured LS1's and T56's I want (Minus the $100 deductable) haha

LOL I bought it at Auto Discounters the day they had it up for sale. I actually went to go check it out the day they put it up for sale, then like 3 days later I got a loan from Amarillo National to take it out.

then get some springs from BMR and you'll be set

Considering it has a 2 year warranty on the motor and tranny, I thought it was a pretty darn good deal. The car is clean for the amount of miles it has.

if it doesnt alredy have it, i recommend a 2.5 exhaust cutout. the car will sound excellent with stock exhaust, also a lid, lca, and some msd wires.

Thanks man. After looking at it in person, the rims aren't that bad. But I do plan on putting some Boyd Coddington Timeless II's.

The car is completely stock besides the rims right now as it sits. But in the next few weeks I plan on modifying it a bit. I want to start with exhaust; long tubes, y-pipe, and magnaflow cat back would be a good start. With a lid, and K&N it should be good

yea, i know full exhaust is good, but the c/o is like 40$ from summit, just weld in and run around uncapped, it sounds very good on stock exhaust.
lid,c/o,egr delete, tune. beginner mods.
