Ya, it feel great to be backed up by the LS1 again... I'm just enjoying driving and running through the gears right now.

I really am shocked by the response to the car... ya, a lot of folks dont give it a second glance, but I can honestly say, I get more people actually doing double takes, or actually coming up to look the car over in a parking lot than in any other car I have owned, which include the 99 Z28, the 95 Corvette, the 89 Camaro, etc... I'm sure a lot of that has to do with there not being many on the road, but if people are noticing.... maybe they don't blend in as much as a lot of folks thought.... I think the color helps it stand out a bit too, though...
Sort of makes those "It looks too boring" guys seem a little misguided, eh?

Let me know what you think!!
Very nice. I like the blue in the Interior. Definitly better than the standard biege, gray, black, etc... as you mentioned earlier.

Artist huh? Got any of your work posted online?

Uh..... well.... It's kind of a running joke.

I made some "works of art" in Microsoft Paint and we posted them for fun.

We are planning on offering a run of hand signed and numbered prints (limited to 50 per piece) at a price of $19.99 each.

If we sell one, it'll be the greatest thing EVER!! Bwahahaha.

(...feel free to PM me if interested in purchase. )

Thumbs up Nice Ride - Congrats !

The only one I have seen up close was red, and I complimented the owner.

I have yet to see the purple color - ?

Oh - am I correct in saying there is no oil pressure gauge ?

That seems strange.


Enjoy the new car !
