Hey everyone, my name is Steve. I'm best friends with Chris Wetmore (Stangkiller) and Stephen (englanGreen)! I unfortunatly dont own a vette, but it will be my next car, and ive building plenty of LS1's, so im not a newbe in that perspective. I also know, Richard (glasslipper) and carrie (corvettegirl, i believe?). Stangkiller told me that i needed to sign up on here, so i fell into the peer pressure! I currently own a 12sec GTP, and my last vehicle is a 524whp S-10 that i build in high school. Well, thats about it guys! See you all around!

I burned half a tank that whole day, including the FAST drive from Orlando, so we burned more like a quarter of a tank. As I was leaving Daytona my average was about 21mpg

Hey steve, My name is Ian. I am the youngest of the younglings here(not a ricer, and I know a fair share about engines and cars :P). Anywho, welcome to the forum. You will have a lot of fun here, watch out for GTO's and when you get your vette, keep the wave going.
