Default Introduction
My name is Joe, I'm 23, and after months if not close to a year of searching I finally found what I want. Arctic White, M6, HUD, 68k miles. While I haven't picked it up, I should have her in the next two to three weeks. (Gotta get up to Ohio!) Was very specific in what I wanted. Coming from Pontiac Fiero's this should be quite a pleasant change for me. Currently the car has Corsa Indy Exhaust and vara ram intake. Already been searching for mods over the summer which include, 243 heads, G5X3 Cam, Kooks or LG LT's, LS6 intake, LS7 clutch, cadillac lifters, and some rockers. Goal is around 430-450 HP so hopefully with a tune I can get that. I'm really stoked and can't wait to get her home!

Well just a quick picture;

Welcome indeed. What I really like about this is your story is you knew what you wanted, shopped, and found it.
