Ya the car does need a lot of work plus I have already done a lot to it. Sorry to say Derek but it was in sad shape when I got it. I have put headers tires tranny and many other things here and there. Plus I would not be happy till it was a show car. I know this is an ls1 site but I just wanted to see what people thought. Thanks to anyone who has taken the poll and put your thoughts.

i have to sell one of them because im going back to school and only working part time right now and if i dont sell one i will not be able to make the payments on the trans am since i will not have a job next year because im going to be going to k-state and money will be mostly spent on school. and my parents will not let me keep both at the house. so i would like to keep both but i just dont think i can.

Keep the 99 T/A and swap the M6 into it. Swap the suspension too, and the rims.

obviosuly this is an LS1 crowd.

granted the LS1 will be more reliable and you won't have to pull the motor in a year like you would on the LT1. I personally like the Formula, biased...duh, plus the fact that it's paid off.

the decision is whether you want to continue the loan on the 6500 LS1 or put 3 into rebuilding the LT1 in a year or so + some upgrades maybe...
