Here's my new baby beautiful 1998 TransAm!:

- WS6 Hood with Blackbird Stripes
- 18x8 and 18x10 Boyd Coddington Smoothie 2s
- Corsa Catback with Premium tips
- Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs with revalved Bilstein shocks
- SLP lid and K&N
- LSS with CAGS!
- 35% tint all around
- Alpine HU with 10" Alpine Sub in a stealthbox with a RF amp
- Removed body moldings and misc black vinyl on license filler, headlight etc..

I took her out last night and had a chance to play around with her with the Traction Control off and oh my goodness what a blast! The instant torque is insane!!

Time to hardwire the V1 and get a fresh coat of VEIL on her!

haha, you just have to disenage the Traction Control for the fun to really start

What I'm not used to coming from a WRX, EVO, RX-7, is the top end. All of the imports are prett good until around 85, however not only does this big ole beast of a LS1 have the low end grunt it starts to scream at anything 80+!!

sweet ride! I could get into a lot of trouble if I had a car like that! :twisted:

Post some videos of you driving it hard, after you get some practice driving it. (unless you already know how to drive a car like that.) I want to see you taking some turns with the rear kicked out sideways and the rear tires smoking! Can't ever get enough of that.

A friend of mine used to have one of those and I swear at every intersection he had to stop and turn he would get that car sideways with the wheels spinning, shift, and take the F off leaveing a big a$$ cloud of smoke! He put new rear tires on it 4 times a year. He drove that car everyday like he stole it for a joy ride. It was tricked out with headers, high flow cat, exhaust, intake, some other stuff I can't remember, even had some work done to the cam shaft. He had a little over 400hp at the rear wheels! The best time was when he hit a radar speed trap and the cop tried to turn out and get him. That cop was probably pissed cause it didn't happen. He downshifted, stomped on it and we never saw that LEO again.

With all those over-the-top safety advocates that say no one can drive fast safely no matter what car you have and no matter your skill is...........if that crap is true then I should have died riding in that car as many times as I did. After riding in that car and experiencing the crazy a$$ stuff that he did with that car, I am numb to anyone driving crazy (that has skill)....it doesn't phaze me.

You are definately going to enjoy that car staton. I might have to drive up to Delaware and take a look at it in person.
