Thumbs up Picked up my new 01 today!

Well i let my black 99 go back to the dealership and picked up my new silver 01 and first impressions are i really like this truck alot,the one thing i noticed right away is this truck shifts much firmer into 2nd gear and does not lay down after the shift like my 99 did.I really like the new headlights but the rims are still going to have to grow on me!I do notice a slight hesitation when you punch it at 60 then it pulls hard after that and it does not spin the tires near as bad as my 99 did stock which i do like better!I am really excited to get this thing to the track soon!I will keep everyone posted on my times and mods that i will be putting on.Later!

Matt

I've had my L almost 2 weeks now and the rims are finally starting to grow on me. I think I may chrome them however. Have fun!
