Hello everyone,

I just joined. I do not have an SL1 car yet. I have a bike that I hope to sell and save some more money to put with it and later this year find a Camaro. Until then I will just research this board and read all of the post I can.

Good luck with your search.

[stingray502]

Thanks..the search should not be as difficult and trying to not run the VISA up for all the mods that are listed in these threads

[NSSTG8TR98]

AMEN to that, and once you start it only gets worse!

That's what I want....a 6SP and an SS. I plan on taking my bike to a shop to sell on consignment, then hopefully save up some money. I'll start here on these boards. Seems to be few slightly Modded cars for sale reasonably. I currently drive a lifted 2500 Avalanche, so the gas savings will be a big welcome, too

dont think you'll get great gas mileage unless you stay on the interstates,
mine is getting about 18mpg with a superchips programmer??????? and i drive it on backroads to and from work to beat traffic. and yes i'll hit the interstate to open her up from time to time. it's alot of fun to drive i have the 2:73 rearend and i rarley ever need 6th til you want to run 90 or more.

^ you mean 3:73 right? I thought all M6 came with the same gears?

[bamaz28]

i wish but nope its a 2:73 i'm pretty sure.

[bamaz28]

and there was a performance axle ratio offered it was 3.23, thats the only option mine didnt have. besides not being an ss or b4c.

[LETHALxLS1]

My car is a automatic and has 3:23 gears in it-it

[LETHALxLS1]

From what I know when people want to upgrade the gears for drag racing in a automatic trans they go with 3:73 gears (the gears a m6 comes with stock) in a M6 they go with 4:11 gears

[bamaz28]

i thought about changing mine but as much and as far as i drive to work i'll leave it like it is til i come up with another ride to work then i'll start some upgrades. let me asking you something running say 70 down the rode what is your rpm's? mines about 1300 in sixth gear!

[LETHALxLS1]

my car is a a4 and it tacks 2200 rpm @70mph (If I remember correctly)

[stingray502]

Man, look at all the info I am getting already....either way it beats my 10mpg in my truck!

Welcome man!!! Hope you find a awsome ls1 soon!

[LETHALxLS1]

As far as gas milage these cars do pretty well considering. If you keep your foot out of it - it does even better gas wise but thats hard to do!
