Anyone Daily Drive their LT1?
Hello, I was just curious as to how many of you are daily driving your F-Body LT1 cars. I drive my Formula everywhere,to and from work, the grocery store, etc. How has everyone's car held up over the years for those that do daily drive their car? Any common problems that people run in to or anything? Also, whats your mileage?

Lol, I feel like speeding tickets are just another one of my monthly bills to pay at this point.

Been my daily driver for about 12 years. For the most part.
It's held up great.

Starting in the spring, I'll not only be daily driving it, but also driving it to track events and autocrosses in Oklahoma and Texas whenever I can.

Just finished mine a week ago, and plan on driving it as much as I dare. Seems that every Mitsu Lancer, Subaru WRX and Honda civic needs to prove themselves whenever I do drive. Very irritating. First tankful I got 17MPG with very aggressive brake in.

I'm the same as xDetroitMetalx, DD rain/snow/sunshine since 2005. (In Chicago no less). I will take my van when it's 6" or more however, and until my new a/c compressor comes in I am not driving it on 90 degree or hotter days.
