Default LT1 + Wreck = New car for me!

So I went to RPM's toys for tots dyno day last Sat. Put down 228. It was running really lean, Keith suggested a fuel filter. So I changed it out 2 nights ago, went around the block to see if it helped at all. Well as I was nearing the end of a street, the brakes failed on me, I went into the field that was in front of me, took out the barbed wire fence, a metal t-pole, and a good sized tree. Thankfully my friend and I weren't hurt. So I got a new car yesterday. I went from a A4 95 Z28 to a M6 99 TA... What a difference. Anyway just thought I would share that lil story, and some pics. Peace.

I'll probably do the TB later today to hold me over till I can get a new one. Chad said something about giving me his lid when he get's his new one from Jeremy. I'm pretty sure the Camaro s totaled. Chad looked it up for me and I should get back no less than 6 grand... Now I just gotta decide what to get to put into it, and how much to put into paying it off. Anybody have any sugestions? This being my first LS1, and my second V8, I don't know much about them. Peace.

Thanks man, but as I said, "what a difference". This thing makes my LT1 look like a 86 bone stock Mustang GT with 200,000 miles on it.... A V6 at that.
