Yes, I am putting my baby up for sale .... its a 2001 Pontiac Trans Am. This car is absolutely awesome. It has impressed/awe'd EVERY single person that has ever been in it I spent over a year and a half building/completing the twin turbo kit while still leaving this car 100% street legal. I'm asking 20,500 OBO, which means I'm not getting back even close to half of what I have put into it - I thought I'd never sell, but I have other aspirations in life now.

The car itself has just over 74,000 miles on it - but the engine, turbo kit, clutch, rear end, etc all have less than 1,200 miles on them. The black leather interior is in incredible condition and the black exterior is amazing as well.

The car is meticulously maintained. Only the very top end oils and lubricants have been used in this car! When not in use, it sits in my garage under a cover, and gets waxed quite often to keep its shine.

The car made 698hp and 706tq to the rear wheels on 93 octane PUMP GAS. All that while on an extremely conservative 13.5psi, 11.0:1 A/F ratio, 12* of WOT timing, spraying 50/50 meth/water. The engine is a fully forged LS1 motor (348ci) that was built to handle far more horsepower than the car is currently pumping out. I had it tuned soo conservative because I didn't want to take the chance of a misfortunate bad tank of gas or something!

Its hard to describe in words just how awesome this car is - you have to see/feel it to believe it. It looks absolutely amazing, and runs TOP NOTCH! Traction? guys with 200rwhp less complain about not being able to get traction, but this car puts all 700rwhp to the ground - its quite a feeling. I have no traction issues at all, as long as the temperature is above 60* outside - not even in first gear.

Below is a list of the mods done to the car. There may be some missing, but I think this pretty well details just how well built this car was and how no expense was spared to make this a reliable, and 100% streetable monster!! If you want to rule the streets, this is your car! If you have ANY questions whatsoever, please feel free to ask. I have lots of pictures and also have added a couple videos. Serious inquiries will include a response with my phone number to discuss anything you may want to know.

The car at idle - sounds extremely healthy and the cam gives a nice lope!

A few small revs - the turbos make themselves well known, especially driving down the road

Asking 22,900 OBO. Trades will be considered, but trade + cash must be of equivalent value to what I'm willing to accept. I have lots of pics, but my laptop crashed 2 days ago and I don't have access to Photobucket here at work. So here are a few that I have on fquick until I can get access to my other pictures.

TTT for a badass car. Any track times?

BTW, the fquick link is not working for me.

 

Thanks for the props!

No, i do not have any track times. The nasty weather lasted way too long this spring in PA, and by the time the weather was nice, it was time for me to start studying 3 hours a night after work, in attempt to pass my professional exams.... That finished up in late May, and Test&Tunes are 1.5 hours from me on Wed. nights. It kills me, but i just never seem to find the time to get out there.

Thank you for the warning about the fquick page! I will try to fix it.

edit: url fixed in original post

 

A few things i forgot to mention:
CR = 9.0:1
The fuel system as it sits is good for about 850rwhp. When the car was on the dyno, the tuner and I were interested in what the car would put down with 16psi and we ran out of injector around 4000rpms with the car in the 820rwtq range. He said the fuel pumps/rails/lines were fine, but the injectors were maxed. Larger injectors and it'll obviously support quite a bit more power.

 

TTT....

I will be out of town for the weekend. If you are interested in the car, please PM me and I will return your PM when i get back Sunday night. I am sorry for the inconvenience, but I do not feel comfy posting my phone # on the whole inter-wide-web

Thanks!

Awesome ride, GLWS!

 

Sure thing. I will get them up a.s.a.p. I just got back in town about 10 mins ago, so I have to get things unpacked, etc and I will throw everything up. I'm not sure why the links to the vids don't work, b/c other sites seem to be having success with them. I'll look into it!!

Thanks alot!

 

Video Links in original post fixed!!!!

After i get all my stuff unpacked from my trip, i'll throw up some pics...

 

Engine sitting in the cradle, with the turbos attached


Picture of the charge piping going into the intercooler while it was fully welded together.


I also have some pics on www.fquick.com/sonofabish

Once again, i really apologize for the lack of pics.... Like i said, my laptop crashed, and I had a very limited number of pics hosted on websites... If you have anything you want to see, I can take a pic

 

and here's a pic from before i put the Firehawk hood on it... just to give you an idea of what the front end looks like with the intercooler




with Firehawk hood

 

Ttt....

 

bump for a bad *** ride

 

im in love with your car man wish i was closer this is just what i have been wanting lol

 

bump for a fellow pittsburgh T/A

 

I personally seen and heard this car and i must say this is the baddest car i have ever witnessed. Bump for an awesome car and good guy

 

I'm willing to accomodate in any way i can....

Thanks guys!

 

Bump for ya Bish. After all that work, I can't believe you are selling. Bad *** ride. Good Luck

 

I bet it gets great mileage with that 3.08 gear. But seriously, one bad *** TA. If you still have it after I sell my TA I would be interested.

 

haha, actually yeah, it gets 30-32mpg on highway trips... but that's obviously going to be easily negated by a few WOT runs
