"An awesome and fast daily driver!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

They just replaced the clutch when I bought the car, but the stock disc didn't last too long, especially with me not being excellent on a standard at first. I put a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch in, and replaced the rear transmission seal. When I replaced that seal it didn't take a good seal and all the fluid leaked out in about a day and a half and blew the transmission, so I am now replacing that. I would recommend getting a stock seal from the dealer if the original seal is going bad. Other than that I have had no problems besides a minor oil leak, which I am almost positive is the common stock LT1 intake manifold not taking a good factory seal, which is easily fixed. This car also has over 100k miles.

General comments?

The car is black with graphite leather interior, t-tops, Borg Warner 6 speed, functional ram air, 12 disc cd changer, power everything. I love the power of the car! It has outran base Z28 and TA's with the LS1 motor, yet has the heavy duty cast iron block. It also handles very well with the bigger sway bars and suspension upgrade done by SLP.

You beat the drivers in the LS1s, there are no differences between the LS1s in the F-bodys and the Corvettes, they are all more than enough of a match for any LT1 powered car.
