Seems cloer to following in Johnny-2k's footsteps than mine.

Enjoy the ride.

Mikey, long time no see.
Pete, it has been a long time, I see from your sig you havn't strayed too far from your Corvettes! Sweet looking C6 for sure. How does it compare to your old Z16?

I'm back looking for a sports car. I figure with gas as expensive as it is, I can get me something cheap. This TBSS is a great car for a family man, but I have used the back seat maybe 3 times total since I've had it. Not even for anything fun either!

Right now I'm looking at '06 GTO's or 03-04 Z06's. Or even a blown S2000.

To the OP, if you can write off gas, you will love the TBSS. I may de-mod mine soon if you're interested in some eFans, exhaust, CAI, lowering struts, and tune, hit me up.

-Mike

That is a cool color. It's in Windy City becuase it's non-S2000 related.

I didn't move it, but I support the decision to move it.

Nice purchase! Wanna race?

My buddy has one. It's a nice truck for sure, but for the power it has, it should be much faster. My only gripe with it is that damn 4-speed auto. It just sucks! His average mileage is around 11-12MPG city. Freeway, dont expect more than 15-16. I'm averaging about 13.2 with my Jeep.

Lots of mods available for it, and CHEAP to boot!

Can't beat the sound of a big AMERICAN V8. I don't care what the hell you have under the hood, 4banger or 12 cyl. American V8 thunder rules in my books.

15mpg is pretty darn good, I'm not getting much better than that from my Benz with a v6.
