Default After Years of Pining my Bro and I get our F-bodies!

I've been on for about a month but finally got the pictures up. My brother and I had been waiting years, dreaming about the day we would get our Trans Ams. I finally graduated from college and am now an X-ray Technician! I bought my car last month and so did he! We couldn't be happier! Thought I'd share a few pics. His is the 2001 sunset metallic Trans Am M6 with lid, filter, smoothbellow, cats delete, and CB. Mine is the 2000 metallic blue WS.6 M6 with lid, filter, ported TB, and CB. We raced 3 times in the pics below from a 15mph roll, we were nose to nose every race until we let off at around 120mph. Very fun Day! Can't believe how close the cars were! Which car do you guys like better?

I'm a fan of the blue WS6, but most here will nut over the SOM car.

If his had a hood the SOM hands down, but the blue is an amazing color too. Can't go wrong with either

HAHA, I would tell him to get it cut, but he is Native American and very into his roots, its down to his waist. At least his hair matches his car color! LOL

Oh, BTW, when I got my car, I was telling everyone, " I'm just gonna keep it clean and all stock so when I'm 60 years old I'll have a perfect, mint condition, completely stock car, I don't want to do a bunch of mods and ruin it." Fast forward one month--->K&N filter, SLP lid, Ported TB, Magna flow exhaust! Soon to come, LS6 intake manifold and a tune! My wife gets more and more pissed everytime I tell her "this is the last thing I'm getting for a while." Its always "the last thing" I swear its impossible not to mod! AAHH!!!

I like yours better, love the color and you have the nice hood

I don't care much for SOM and plain hood just ruins the look of a trans am to me

Yea, I love that we both have LS1's! We are from Bishop, CA. We have some of the baddest cars in town, except this darn STI guy that my bro raced last week and beat my bro by a car length on their marked quarter mile from a dig. He says racing from a dig is the only real kind of race. Oh well, there is always someone faster.

I love SOM, but it needs a WS.6 hood. It would look amazing with it. With that said though, NBM WS.6 wins.

Both look AWESOME but SOM is my favorite color (sig). I originally planned to to go WS9 but the understated plain T/A hood has grown on me. The thing draws enough looks as it is Both are badazzzzz

edit: His looks a little lower ( maybe camera angle). Springs?
