Default New Guy here!!

Hey everyone, I've been searching around and this looks like a really nice board, so I decided to join it.. I'll be around here for awhile.

I own a 1987 Camaro Z/28 335 TPI Stroker. I just finished rebuilding the entire motor myself over this summer. Check out my webpage for more info if you want :)

Last weekend my father bought a 1994 Corvette Z07 LT1, 1 of 887 made. I'd like to learn as much as possible about these cars (I'm mostly a 3rd gen Fbody guy). Now I can why Corvettes are so much better than Fbodies. Don't get me wrong, I like my Camaro.. but after riding in my dads Vette its a completely different story. They ride so much better, handle alot better, and are overall just a better car. Then again they cost alot more too :p:

See ya guys around :cheers:

Welcome,

Unfortunately, you started here just as they are redoing the site, and trying to work out the new bugs. Don't be surprised to see this thread or others disappear until they get it together.

Slainte :cheers:
