Default buying another TA tomorrow!!!

I know I'm a retard, but I want another one. Love these cars and picking up a Red 2001 WS6 in the morning. Kinda cool that it already has a Loudmouth on it already and mileage was really low on it too. The exterior and interior is flawless, whoever had this car before really took care of it. Not touching a damn thing on it and can now start to focus on the other one with out worrying about breaking it.

Just wondering how you like the LS7 clutch kit on your 99?

Thanks, Gary.

P.S. congrats on the car

Bad ***, feels exactly like stock and grabs like there is no tomorrow for a stockish disc. I took about 1000 miles to break it in very properly a little overkill I know but what's the point in buying it if your not going to do that ya know. I would recommend it for sure, just make sure you upgrade the slave cylinder. The stock master is ok until you start approaching 375ish whp. The only downfall I can think of is the LS2 flywheel is heavier than the stock LS1. Not like you'll lose oodles of power though. I also did not use the shim that some people claim has to be installed on it so the clutch doesn't release until it is at the floor. Works absolutely fine for me.

You should do red accents on the black one, and black accents on the red one... Have inverted color schemes on your cars.

Maybe on the black one, I kinda like the night rider look, lol. But black accents on the red one is a great idea. I might have to do that

mmhmm Those seem to me to be 2002 WS.6 rims. I wonder if 01 had an option, or a mid yr replacement.

Some of the later built 01's got them and all the 02's have them. Atleast that is what I heard and it seems to be that way as my buddies 01 car has the other style. Btw nice car.

I thought about putting the 01-02 WS6 rims on my 99 when I first got it. I really like the way they look, but didn't know that Speedline made them specifically for the WS6 and can only get them through GM for (if I remember right) $750 each.

Still want one more though 1-N/A w/ spray 2-turbo(88mm) 3-Procharged
I don't make that much money though, going to take some time. Still have to finish the 99 first.
