Default New from NC

Im new here and to the F-Body in general. I had a fox body with a 383 in it before, and decided I didnt want to go that route again. I just bought this 99 Trans Am from an old fella here in NC. Its an A4 with 3.23s in the rear. Will the RPO codes say whether it has the Torsen or the Auburn diff? The car only has 52K on the clock. My near future plans are to do the exhuast from front to back and to put a converter in it. Any input on parts selection will be appreciated.

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the site! There's no lack of LS1 Fbodys around Bragg/'Nam but that's not a bad thing though!

It's not necessarily a good thing either.

thanks for the welcome. I have been in Fayetteville for four years. I guess I didnt word my intro very well. The car seems like it has been well maintained, I bought it from a retiree, and he bought it from an older fella too. No fading in the paint or weather stripping at all. It has been under a cover for most of its life. This thing is night and day from my old foxbody. The foxbody was faster, but it was a headache from hell from the start. I cant wait to get things in motion.
