I'm with ya in the broke department. My car is also getting to the point where restoration is becoming a priority and modifications can no longer be afforded or saved for. Paints, leather seats, window tint, etc...

When i first got mine, it even had the Stock huge intake but with a k and n Filter.. since then i added : SLP Lid, Magnaflow CB, Tsp Long tubes and offroad Y, Replaced bald stock tires with Sumitomos and ZR1 rims(they actually hook compared to the stock bald goodyears) and SLP Bilstein shocks. This was my dream car since it first came out, so i love it and take pride in it..

LS1 with full exhaust is a CRIME. go build your exhaust now.

My WS6 just has a Hooker CB and MGW shifter...just going to lower it and drive it I think. My GTO has HCI, full exhaust, etc. so it's kind of nice getting in the Trans Am and going for a nice quiet drive.


Haha yeah right...I can't leave things stock too long, been eyeing a Procharger for the WS6.

Mine is stock except for the WS6 hood the previous owner had installed. I didn't know any better when I bought it, found out later. But....I like the look so I left it that way.


Nothing else has been modified except for the Skip Shift mod.

Does that count as stock?

Mine is almost stock. The car still has the stock SS catback and the original Goodyear F1's. The only obvious non stock piece is the SLP lid. Other mods are Hotchkis springs (so its not obviously lowered), SLP Bilstein's, UMI PHB, SLP y pipe, SLP skip shift delete, ported TB, descreened MAF. That's about it.

As long as you don't beat any 5.0s or Challengers, it's stock mechanically, not cosmetically, lol!

If you do beat a Stang or any other car, it will be considered a full bolt-on LS1. Just saying

24,000 miles. Owned 4 years. Stock loser here. Probably a hell of a lot more fun modded, but not a big racer personally.

Well hell, definitely more fun modded :-)

When I started having close races with modern day V6's I definitely felt the need to modify.
