After having the car running for awhile with stock exhaust manifolds my floor board would heat up too. Im pretty sure its the exhaust heating up the floorboard. The insulation can only do so much. When I went to longtubes it takes a LOT longer to heat up.

Normal stuff IMHO.

I see your car everyday on I-75 around the 7:30-7:45 am range. I commute Gainesville to Ocala and back for work.

A white '99 Pontiac Sunfire (my DD beater with 200,000+ miles). Those 80 mile round trips add up.

Trans Am GTs were done in '94 only as a higher level Trans Am. They had a different hatch, different tires, upgraded sound system, and a few other perks. They made 3389 hardtops (1957 of those were t-tops) and 463 convertible regular Trans Ams, 6142 hardtops (4342 of those were t-tops) and 215 convertble Trans Am GT models, and 1750 hardtops (1412 of those were t-tops) and 250 convertible Trans Am GT Anniversary models. They went back to only one Trans Am offering in 1995.
