This was my first car and I've owned it for 4 years now. I bought it bone stock down to the paper filter. The car had 175k miles on it when I bought it. Within the first year the car was full bolt-ons and went a best of 12.43@112. Opening day of atco 2009 I hot lapped the car and got 20 runs in one day and the car kept begging for more. I drive this car hard and cannot tell you how hard I tried to pop the original LS1 but I couldn't. After full bolt-ons I wanted to go H/C but wanted to find a lower mileage motor to be a donor for the top end swap. I scored a sweet deal on a motor from an 02 Camaro and the swap can be seen below. I blew up the stock 10 bolt with Anti_Rice_Guy at atco back in 09 so I upgraded to a Moser 9 inch which I eventually ended up hurting too. With me away at college, the car has basically been untouched in nearly 2 years and has become somewhat of a garage queen. In the past week it went through state inspection and received 5% tints all around. It may be getting a trans rebuild in the near future.
The Day I got it:


After a few bolt-ons and the SS hood:


The first drag setup for the car:


I put a good clutch in and this happened shortly after:


I decided to black out some wheels for a short time:


Box of goodies:


A lower mileage LS1 getting prepped to go in:


In the middle of all the fun:


After the car put itself back together:


First pass with the H/C setup went 11.98. My PB is 11.85@117 on a bad trans.


Only Picture of the car with tints:
