    Default New forum member, older racer

    Hello,

    I'm Shannon and live in the Ft. Worth area. I run a local car club called Lone Star Muscle. I've been racing since I could drive and working on cars for a lot longer. My first V8 car was a 70 Camaro SS. I sold it to get my current daily driver. It is a 2000 Camaro SS w/a 408, t56, fabbed 9", and the list goes on. It was stock when I got it though. The engine had been in less than a year and I'm already wanting to make more power with it.

    Why am I here? My wife traded in her TBSS for a G8 GXP w/T56. She suprised me by getting a red car and a manual. So, I'm on here looking for things to do to it. I don't like the mushy feel of the shifter so, I'll be seeing if an f-body short stick will work. I've got a friend that runs an exhaust and performance shop so I'd like to have him build a 3" system for it. I like the G8's enough that if I didn't have so much invested in my f-body, I'd sell it and build me a G8.

    Here is her car.


    Anyway, hope to get to know y'all and if anyone is in the area feel free to come to our meets.

    Welcome to the forum. You may want to reconsider a 3" system for this car. As you read you'll find it out.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!
