Well I just wanted to say hello since I’ve been reading through this site for the past few months. This place it great, there is a lot of good info here, and it's nice to see so many muscle car enthusiasts.

I purchased my 99 Trans Am back in September from the second owner, completely stock, with 50,000 miles on it. Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than being behind the wheel of this car, I love it. Now it's sitting in the garage for the winter and I’m going nuts! I guess I have plenty of time now to figure out what I want to do to it.

I've attached a few pics. I’ll have to take some better ones in the spring.

I see you have a 95 Z28 convertible. I had a 95 Trans Am before I picked up the 99. I got rid of it back in 2000, and had been wanting to get back into an F-body ever since. I'm glad I finally got another one.

Same way I felt after I crashed my 02. I picked up the 95 afterwords, but wish I saved for another LS1. You have a few months to save up some extra $ before you drive it again. Get an LS6 intake, put a lid and exhaust on it, stall if your A4, or short throw if your 6 speed.

Yeah the LS1 is just amazing. I feel like it's so much faster than my 95, but I’ve been driving a 4 cylinder for the past 8 years so I really don't know if there is that big of a difference.

I've already priced out the SLP Lid, the LS6 intake, and a Magnaflow cat back exhaust, I hope to start getting stuff in the spring. I'm thinking about a stall converter and some suspension work too.
