Question What do you like most about your Bird?

i like how my car looks different then basicly every other car on the road. it has a style all its own, there's deffinitly no missing a trans am or even a formy.

and of course, the LS1 is no slacker either, lol. always a plus to have a bad *** motor to start with.

Unique styling car has been out of production for 4 years now and still has fresh look. The way the car squats into the ground when you floor it

i noticed basicly everyone on here refer's to formy's as more of a sleeper look because of the v6 body. maybe its different around me, but, almost no one who lives around me can even tell the difference between a formy and a T/A. i get "nice trans am" all the time. lol. not that i really care either way, i've just found that right around where i live almost no one knows the difference. some people do though.

Unique styling car has been out of production for 4 years now and still has fresh look.
this is something i love too. the fact that i have a 7 year old car that imo doesnt look like a 7 year old car. now i know no one really into cars has said this to me, but, since i've bought my car like 5 months ago i've gotten 3 or 4 people who actually asked me if i bought the car new, lol. and alot more surprised looks when i tell them its only a 99. the car deffinitly doesnt look dated like many other do.

I love to look at it as I'm walking up to take it for a spin.

Black Firehawk, chrome rims, heavy cam, twin turbos, 6 speed... need I say more?

The thing I like most about my 'Birds is that even in stock trim, no matter which one I drive, I know that the chances of me seeing another one like it on the road are so minutely small that it's almost impossible. It's also nice to be able to take them to a car show and have them really stand out as something unique.

Trans Ams just have a mystic about them....that's what I like about them.
