Introduction/'99 V6 Pontiac Firebird w/'01 LS1 swap

Hi all, new around here. Bought a 1999 V6 Firebird in 2005 for my first car. Been upgrading/daily driving it ever since 2006. It now has a California smog legal LS1 swap, cornering suspension setup, and runs mid-high 12s on an otherwise stock motor/transmission in drag trim. Currently under the knife for a forged motor build. My friends and I do all the work on it. Hangs with modern Corvettes without issue in the twisties.

Before (2005) and after (2009) shots:


More recent shots:





A shot of the Hella HID/projector install:


A very old rear 3/4 shot (only to show what they look like from the rear). I have since lowered it more, removed the custom exhaust tips (primarily why I am on this forum), and changed the side markers (painted body color) and third brake light (eBay LED array):


An old engine bay shot, hours before the V8 swap took place:


An engine bay shot, prior to relocating the electrical grounds away from the strut towers and the core support:
