Default DFW'ers : Drove the LS1 Coupe Today!!! *PICS*

Wanted to share. I'm stoked I finally got to drive the coupe today. I still need to do some wiring and finish hanging some sheetmetal, but other than that, all went well. After driving, had no leaks, temp did not even get to 190, just stayed at 180 the whole time. Here's some pics.. Enjoy

****ADDED MORE PICS****

Looks like it will be a mean machine. There is nothing more beautiful to me than a Fox Body powered by the Bowtie

Yeah man, we both talked alot of **** to each other, but thats just part of the fun. I kinda romped the throttle a little bit rolling in 1st and it's a totally diffferent machine. Definetly more scared of this car than the cobra.. Mainly because I built it from scratch.. Trying to remeber if I tightened everything up, etc etc etc etc.. Hows your comming along?
