Today I took ownership of a 2012 2LT/RS LFX. Ryan has already connected to it with EFI Live and is working with them on a few tweaks for the transmission connectivity.

The plan is to do some base pulls and then let them develop a stock tune. After that we will start the twin turbo build anew.

Right now Ryan's taking all the good parts off my car to swap what we can. I'll post a link to my classified ad for the parts I can use (like ported heads, ported intake manifold, shorty headers, intake isolator, etc..), so keep an eye out for that you LLT guys.

And now for some pics of the new ride.

Wow, gonna miss reading about your LLT adventures! I'll just have to check out the new car sometime!

Just a quick thought on the new car.

I remember when I first test drove the 2010 that I was impressed with the suspension. It was the first Camaro I had ever driven that seemed to cut the curves. Well, all I can say is I really miss those upgraded suspension parts and can't wait to get them on this one. The body roll is very noticable in the 2012 compared to the way I had the 2010 setup.

Gotta be a female name. Thought of Gretchen 2, but probably best not to tempt fate with the wife again.

I was thinking Aura -- Greek Goddess of the breezes, but it would be nice if it started with an O.

Will certainly keep that one in mind.
