|
|
I decided to waite on a bike for a little while and get a better daily driver since the t/a is a project car/daily driver. The t/a only got about 12MPG city and about 20-21MPG all highway. So i got something that i would enjoy driving as a daily driver, gets better milage and has at least some power. The new toy is a 4th gen camaro z28 ('98 ). Its red with an SS hood, badge and floormats, LS1, 6spd, T-Tops, leather,premium sound and aftermarket exhaust. I figure it will get about 17-18city and about 27-28highway wich is what i believe they were rated at. I tell ya, this thing sounds mean and haulls balls. I was doin 90MPH in 6th gear and it was just barely over 2k on the tach. I got it for 9k but got a 3year extended warenty since it has 75k miles. I'll take some pics and post them up when i get a chance. Now the t/a gets to be a project car and drive it on alternate on nice days to go out and cruise.
Hehehehehe. Jess- wanna race? LT1 VS LS1 _________________ Project_1986_TA

lol @ Paul.
Nice ride man. So you decided against the Mustang Vert eh? An LS1 T56 for 9K - dang.
My prediction is for a lot of dust on your thirdgen

ALOT of dust.... how many freakin red 4th gens did they make! The interior and styling is nice though! If I got one, it'd be the WS6 T/A Ram Air LS1 6speed. Oh yeah. :drool: _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

Won't be much of a race, you should have me by a second + I'll take you up on that when I get the money/time to do the LT4 conversion package
Nice looking SS Kyle.

HEHEHEHE this car rocks! With the flowmaster muffler on, it turns heads and draws a coud when reved in a mall parking lot. My cousin took a look at it (we both work security at Northgate mall) when i got to work and he got in it and reved it up and about 9 kids came over and started drooling and saying how they woulndn't want to race me because they would get their a$$ handed to them.
Also, when i was getting on the freeway went through first spinning the tires and went to second (30mph or so) and still got it sideways. I thought my t/a had power. Hail to the mightyl LS1 muahahahahahaha |
