Default 99999 on my 99

Yesterday my 1999 flipped 99999 on the OD. Thought it was a little cool. Of course, including pictures of the more famous 100,000 turnover too.

It would interesting to know what you've had to replace over that 100K miles...

Very . Glad you were able to capture that moment. I'm at just over 93K so I have a little time left.

PS: I did mean that in the most light hearted and joking way....I just read what I said again and it may have come across as not a joke. Sorry about that.

I purchased my 99 at 96,000 miles so I only put on 4,000 miles, but in like 3 months of driving, lol. So far, no repairs but I do need to find where the Methanol is slow leaking from. She is SC with 620 HP
P.S. I've owned my 02 since new, no major repairs at all on her either but she too has two minor leaks I need to find out where they are coming from.

That 99 looks a lot like the coupe I keep downstairs.

What is the blower and engine combo on that one putting down 620?

Last Fall when I got it running, I pulled about 485 on a stock LS longblock.

Stock LS h/c
AA P1sc @ 9.8psi on 3.80"
Fast 92 / LS7 tb
BTR springs + pushrods / straub bushings
Longtubes / xpipe / mufflers

Welcome to the club.
Been there, done that on my 2000 and posted pics of it too when I joined the club.
Your outlook changes a little when the odometer gets to the 6 figure mark, like a new milestone in your life.

Conrats on the milestone! Amazing how a 19 year old car looks better than most new cars even "Sports Cars".

Sorry, maybe that was misleading. She puts down 528 HP to the wheels. With a 15% drivetrain loss, that equates to about 620 HP engine. Running a Procharger, long tubes, with cammed LS1. Cutouts on exhaust too.

I had a 98 that put down 767 rwhp, that thing was a monster and I miss it allot
