I picked this up the other day for a helluva a deal. It's a 99 auto with leather interior, power everything and 218,000 miles! It is in great shape. It runs, but motor needs to be rebuilt. Needs a new windshield and drivers side window motor. I bought a WS6 hood and need to take off the pin stripe. It has a new Tranny and Rear End. I am going to have the transmission built to handle more power. Not sure what route I'm going to do on the rear end. I am still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with the motor. Either going to go big cube with Nitrous or do a forged bottom end and boost it...still working with G-Force to see which way I'm going to go. I like the idea of a 416 LS3(Mikes favorite). Going to do some suspension and chasis upgrades for the street and change the wheels. Look forward to having fun with it!

Thanks! It was an older gentelman that owned it and he took good care of it.
Thanks! The motor is kind of a plus because it forces me to do something right away
Couldn't resist it!
Thanks and I will!
Thanks!
Yeah, going to do the CETA mod for sure. I think it looks good on the white TA's!
I'll let you know when I get them. If I don't use them for the strip, I'll see what I can do![Mr. Cool](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cool.gif)

Thanks Mike! I'll hit you up this week to discuss wtf to do.
Lol! Yeah, I should have never sold the Vette
I would have been enjoying life right now. I think I've driven my other car maybe 2 miles in 6 months...
I like the LS3 idea. I just need to decide what compression to go with
I haven't owned a non blower car in a while.

Lol! It's still in the garage, collecting dust! It's running damn good right now. It was trying to pull the wheels in the culdesac
Gonna try to take it to the track this weekend. I'll hit you up when it's time for a detail!
