Exclamation 2002 Trans Am 6sp Ttop

Well I'm not new to this forum per say but it has been awhile since I've been on.

I'm a PFC in the United States Marine Corp. and I just got done with my MOS school and am stationed in Camp Lejune NC. This is my first "real" gm. I've owned a 94 firebird 88 Mustang Gt vert 95 Mustang Gt 5sp coupe and 1990 5sp Eclipse.

I must say it was my first time driving an LS1 and it got me hooked . No more mustangs for me lol. I'll have [pictures up in a few days.

Its a 2002 Trans am 6 speed Ttops red, tan leather interior, stock except for an slp exhaust, still has the skip shifting I believe, not sure though?

Welcome to the board! You'd know if you had skip shift still or not...especially when you try to do a hard launch from a light and can't go straight into 2nd

Yeah I don't think I have it anymore, did every car come with it? I plan on first getting a full tune-up done then save up for full exhaust, true duals :

Welcome You have probably seen my Camaro around because it is here at Lejune too. Along with my hubby's 2002 NHRA formula. My hubby drives my car around to keep miles off of the other car since I have a DD of my own. Then again, if you did see it, you probably don't even remember it because of the amount of f bodies there are around here, haha.

Yeah, the T56 is an excellent selling point made my decision that much easier to make when i bought mine. A tune-up is always a good start. Did your car come with any previously installed "goodies" on it? with exception to the SLP exhaust that is?! BTW If it's SLP, do you know if you've got the LM1 or LM2 cat back system? A buddy of mine is looking into them so I figured I'd ask.

Yes, there are A LOT of mustangs too. It is okay, I don't know of too many that are fast other than the cobras and I really can't even speak of how many driver mods that are needed :-x

Let me rephrase that, I don't know anyone personally that drives a fast one and I know that the corbras should already be fast regardless.

I do not know but it does have headers on it. Mid length i believe but stock Y pipe. Im going to put an off-road Y pipe on it soon though. Whatever it is LM 1 or 2 it sounds mean as **** at 2300rpm
