Can officially introduce myself now! 99' Black Trans Am (56k Beware) Well I just went and picked her up today, I LOVE this car, it's sooooooo nice!
Burnt up a little bit of tires today too, traveled 250 miles to get it, plus on the way to the credit union with the title, I turned off the TC an slammed her down and I went through the entire intersection with the tires screaming ( my dad said they were smoking too ) and leaving the bank I had the TC off and slammed it while turning a corner, holy crap did it suprise me, so I stopped doing that until I'm more comfortable with it .
Just hit 18850 miles and only used up half a tank of gas going 175 miles, with a few... leg stretcher runs 
I've got it parked outside of my window with the shades open so I can watch it like an eagle, I'm so excited to have it. My fiance wants to drive it but I don't really want her to, it makes me nervous sence she has two speeding tickets already in her sunfire PLUS this car has alot of power that I don't think she will be expecting... but oh well... she's paying for it too.

Nice car. Just be careful, and she'll be around for a long time to come.

Thanks guys! I did another TCS off round the corner burnout, much easier to control when you are expecting the power. I love the attention this car gets, I REALLY think it intimidates people. I do have to say the tires on here now can't grip for sh**, if I turn the TCS off I can burnout until I let off the gas.. I just noticed on the way home with it, I got a small chip in the middle of the windshield ( anyone have tips on how to fix it ) and the "bar" in the middle of the T-Tops is fading, otherwise it's in EXTREMELY good condition. Now I understand why you guys love these cars this much.

Sweet car! MINE is a A4 and black also. I love it. Check what I`ve done in my Sig. She is 600+RWHP. Black and pretty!!!!
If you want a good set of wheels cheap. Go to Ebay and buy them from AFS wheels. I had chrome ZR-1`s, but just bought a black set for 500.00 17x9.5, 17x11 and they look freaking awsome on a black T/A. I wish I had got black the first time. Enjoy !!!

I'm going to stick mine out stock for a while until it becomes "slow", I am making the jump from a 155hp ( probably much much less with a headgasket leak ) fwd four door intrepid to the Trans Am, so it's EXTREMELY powerful to me. GMMG exhaust and induction stuff are about all the performance things I'll do for now, the rest will be cosmetic ( rims, interior lights, ect. )
