Default Got another Trans Am




Its a basically stock 2001 WS6. All it has is a LS7 clutch and LS2 flywheel. Bought it in Kentucky, visited the Corvette museum and the Vette factory in Bowling Green! Then drove back to Cape Cod without a hitch! Im so glad to have a TA again.

I need to get some baseline horsepower numbers before I do anything. Whens the next dyno day in MA?

Nate

Hell yes, that is one fine automobile right there. Learned my lesson on black vehicles though, it's a bitch to keep em clean. But when they are, there isn't a better color. Congrats fella.

The drive should have been about 18 hours I think.. but my girlfriend came with me and got car sick in the mountains near or in pennsylvania. It didnt help that I had the cruise set at 75 and it was like a roller coaster! I had fun anyway. And she fell in love with the new Z06, especially the new blue. There was one on display ready for delivery in the museum.
