Re: whats everyone's plans for F-body
My plan is to get the car back up and running again. Then new tires and possibly a louder catback. But that's it for me. Then later this summer, I need to get a 4-cyl beater for the longer drive to school this fall.

Re: whats everyone's plans for F-body
I want to swap some parts from an LS1, namely catback, shocks, springs, 3:42 posi, aluminum DS, and then if I have money leftover pacesetter headers. Yeah, i'm poor. (PM if you have/can get these parts for cheap).

Re: whats everyone's plans for F-body
I change my mind every other day on what I want to do.
Cam my LS-1 or build a motor. Or just do both.
