    Yeah, I know it isn't the popular ls1, but for an lt1, it hauls pretty good. My clutch is still holding on fine!

Had 43,000 miles when I bought it, and you don't see many 4th gens around as clean as mine unless they're never driven, or are special edition cars.
    I appreciate the help. I have no major mods yet. Just bought the car a few months ago. Busy with visuals and maintance right now!

    My clutch holds...too well. Driving in town/city is a pain.

    Yeah, if you don't have any mods, just post the car. Not sure if you can have pictures in your sig without donating to the forums. I know that's how it is most everywhere else.

    when you say just post the car, where exactly should I post it to? I'm sure a random thread is no right way lol. Sorry for the dumb question, I gotta learn somehow. Maybe you mean just as my profile pic?

    click settings its right above your name and log out. ( top left side of any window) then go to edit signature. you can add a pic if you like, but it needs to be re sized most of the time. then just list what your car is there.

    Yeah, you can go to the forum actions tab at the top and click edit profile. There you can edit your signature. And by just post the car, I mean just type what car you have in the signature. Eg: 2002 Grand Prix GTP. Then if you want, put a picture of your car as your "avatar," which will then show up below your member name, like my Camaro does. Profile picture is for those who visit your profile, so rarely anyone ever sees those lol. I usually don't bother with them.

    EDIT: or just listen to Scotty. Pretty sure he know more than me.

    Well appreciated to both of you!!! I'm at work and doing all of this from my mobile phone so after work I will get to a real computer where I can edit everything. And I will snap a pic of my dirty car and throw it on there as well for now until I can get some better pics!

    if you can use a real browser on your phone you should be able to what ever you want. tap talk sucks and you cant do much with it.

    yeah I attempted tap talk and didn't like it at all. I agree with you if using an android but my iPhone won't let me do it. I will get to it either today or tomorrow. By the way just want to thank you again. I've had a lot of help so far with everything but majority from you! I really appreciate it all.

    Stock is no fun...I've driven a stock 95 Z28 with the auto...I thought it was pretty slow. Then again, I've been driving my not stock Z28 since August, so it's not much of a comparison.

    Yeah, at least I don't have an auto! Just have to start small with bolt-ons first, and I'm still in college, so those come very slow!

    Well, I picked up the the green '98 GTP for $3600 and 3 sets of free rims lol. One is a set of gold wire wheels which will be for sale since I will put the stock silver wire wheels back on, and there is another set of mid 90's Bonneville five spoke 16" rims, which will also be for sale. This car is extremely clean. In fact I think that is an understatement, because it is immaculate inside and out. I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow. I want to slap some Mustang rims on her or find some other plain five spoke rims, because the wire ones do not do the car justice.

    If anyone has any rims for sale, shoot me a PM or something.
