buying a zo6!
I found a nice car up in Toronto. Anything I need to be aware of/concerned about for ride home to Illinois?
Its an 01 with an Agositno top end package, bolt ons, long tubes, GHL exhaust (you guys like?), T1 Swaybars, chromies, etc...sounds like a good car. 428 rwhp through cats. What is different with this than 02's? No HUD I know.
Time to move on from the F-body scene, which is for sale (along with a lot of parts) if you guys want any!
Wahooooooo I cant wait!

Run a Carfax report on it and make sure it doesn't have a salvage title. You'll see some serious depreciation later on down the road if it was a restored wreck.
Push driver seat all the way back and make sure it doesn't move. I have a broken seat track on mine that gets fixed next week, (under warranty).
Do normal looksie at everything. Make sure it all works (climate, gauges, etc).
Enjoy the drive and have fun.

Congrats :cheers: Sounds like a nice set of mods. Just be aware that traction of the stock F1 SC tires in this cold weather is horrible. Have a safe and fun trip home.

Re: buying a zo6! (wango tango)
You asked about advise for the trip home, not on the car itself - so I assume you have purchased it and that part is done. I always recommend CarFax and an independent shop inspection on any pre-owned vehicle. A quality shop will charge $75 - $150 for this service, worth every penny IMHO.
It sounds like a nice package, I love my GHL's and suspect you will as well. Also if you have emissions testing in Illinois I assume you know this car will pass, or have a way around the problem if it does not - as Canada has different requirements than many of the States.
So enjoy the car. Oh yea - driving from Toronto to Illinois suggestions? Don't get too close to the snow plow :)
