[Chris C 1SS 1LE]

Hello! New here, picked up a bright yellow '17 1LE first of November from Automation in NW Phoenix. Great place to do business with. Mario Gomez was exceptional, courteous, and sincere.

Formerly a 4th gen guy, '96 and '97 Z28, 2002 Firehawk #0140 (see at firehawk************* or something like that). Never should have sold it...

Really like the tech and performance in the 6th gen. Poked and stroked the 97Z to a 396 with (Gallant Technical Performance, Craig Gallant, Houston) GTP heads and GTP 6 cam to get this kind of power! Custom tune on Ed's dyno in Tulsa, OK.
The sound through those long tubes and SLP 2OTL was something to behold...then got hit head on in San Antonio, totaled the car. Air bag turned my nasal septum into the shape of a "C", but that's the way it goes...then picked up the 'hawk.

'Hawk did a Thunder Racing 222/222 @114, long tubes !cats, sims SLP Dual Dual to get 375/375 to the wheels. A lot has changed.

Have enjoyed reading posts, chuckle a bit as the questions and answers are very similar to what we did 15+ years ago.

3,200 miles thus far, no issues. No catch can (been there, done that...), changed oil and eLSD (some FOD on fill/drain, not bad). Doing !CAGS today.

Dealer tossed in yellow door panel inserts, but I'm not installing myself after reading instructions. Good grief. I break things.

I'd like to find (help...) the smoked tail lights but I don't want to pay the $400's or so people are asking. Ridiculous. Neighbor has a ZL1 1LE and those side skirts will go on my car too, so looking at options. Saw AC Composites and another at what, Anderson? Again, open to input.

Guy on here with the black 1LE in Missouri, I think. Lift in his garage, boat. Slick setup. Like the way his car looks.

Cheers! Post was too long, enough!

Chris.
