Congrats on nice ride with a horrible decal. That really has to go. Drag bags are the cheap fix for wheel hop. If you’re getting it real bad though your cradle bushings might be looking for an upgrade. Mine seems to do it more in the rain than in the dry. In the dry I can roast them through 1st and 2nd with no hop, but as soon as it’s raining and I roll on it too quick there’s the hop. ---

[quote=“Dr.Stevil,post:8,topic:25905"”] thanks for the compliments :)… I’m gonna more than likely keep her stock (or as close to stock as possible) for a while and see how it goes. Plenty of power for the time being [/quote] LMAO, everyone says that! Those LS1’s come alive with a full exhaust (headers/cat-back), intake and a cam. You’ll be buying GMHightech at the news stand and drooling at the power that you can make. ---

[quote=“Dr.Stevil,post:19,topic:25905"”] my average is 15.7 lol :smash2: but it seems like you could actually get decent milage with the sixth gear on the highway (low-mid 20’s) [/quote] tsk tsk, shame on you, you M6 guys have it easy with the gas mileage. Us A4 guys get about 13-15 city, 20-21 highway. I think there may be enough of us in the area for a cruise when it gets nice out, sign up over at [LS1GTO.com](http://LS1GTO.com). ---
