Well I’m back.....sort of!

I haven’t been around for quite some time. Demodded my 2011 ss a6, sold the parts and traded the car in. At that time I couldn’t afford to keep driving it every day with the horrible gas mileage it got. Fast forward a few years later, I miss the car and I miss hot rodding. So I put a cam in my truck along with a bunch of other things. Ran pretty good for a full-size 5.3. I did upset a few 5.0’s with it. Well I acquired a nice huge bumber pull camper. That 2000 Silverado just couldn’t handle it. So I traded in my 2016 v6 accord touring coupe on a 2017 Silverado with the 6 speed. Wow. It pulls and stops 100 times better. The original plan was to get a 6th gen ss but the wife talked m out of it. However there was a compromise made. I sold the 2000 Silverado and bought a low mileage clean 2004 gto. I mean clean too. I was originally looking for a 4th gen ss and had one lined up but the deal fell through (guy totaled the car two days before I was getting it....ugh). Anyways, I don’t have another ss like I wanted but I am back in the Ls game. I’ve already begun on this car. Cam, headers, drag radials, 92mm intake and throttle body, udp, hp tuners, ram air intake, yank 3400 stall etc etc. it runs good but the bad thing is I doubt it would beat my bolt on only ss I had by very much. So I just wanted to stop by and say hello. And btw, plans are an ls3 swap and hopefully one day a a6 Trans.

Here’s a pic of it (not the color of choice but I got a smoking deal on it)
