New to the 5th Gen
Greetings all. Just picked up a modded 5th gen 2013 SS. I previously had a 2005 GTO, Stickshift car that my Father and I built. It was a street car that was always driven to the track. We got it to run low 7's at the local 1/8 mile and 11.30's at the 1/4 mile track. Got tired of being warned and threatened to be kicked off track due to the NHRA roll bar requirements. Now having a 2013, the goals for this car will be 6.50 1/8 mile and 10.00 1/4 mile. Also went with an auto this time. Stick cars are more fun but much harder to make fast.
I sold my Goat and was able to buy this car with a little money to put into it. I got a good deal on it due to some of the issues it has. We will be pulling the motor and trans and going through everything for piece of mind and as well as addressing the issues the car already as. Exterior wise the car is in great shape and I even got a drag set included. I will detail my progress of pulling the motor and getting this thing to run in the tens over in the car journal section. Looking forward to learning from all of you and the discovering the wealth of knowledge on this forum.
