you son of a gun.  i do a burnout for your last night in the parking lot of jim dandys in my 2000 lsi formula and you buy one the next day, awesome.

now we are brothers.  how great was the drive home in it, the top end never stops and they are so quick.  what rear gear do you have, i went from 2.73 to 3.23 and world of difference, also added a flowmaster with the stock pipes and huge difference in exhaust tone, also added 6.5 kicker subs in the rear seat panels from amazon.com, originals were blown. 

i love the blue color, that and green are my favs, now dump the 97.  lets cruise the 4th gens real soon, i want to freshin up my paint, so let me know asap.  you will like it more and more with every drive.

Yup get rid of those crappy subs in the sail panels.... kicker makes the best ones.... i had em in mine, also if you are interested in a nice box that goes in the rear cargo area on the driver side, let me know, I have one made for a 10"sub enough to make the sound crisp but not to sound like you belong in atlanta....

very fun to drive,,,,,,,,,,,,

I had it to 90+ mph in 3rd without a prob.    

2nd gear is going out.  the guy did to many burnouts in that gear.  it has a few chips in it , but no dents or dings.  
Im going to buff/polish it tomorrow.
no clue on what gear it has.
