congrats man, you will be very happy with this. I have the exact same car for about 5 years now and I am BARELY starting to mod it. Konis and stranos springs should be your first mod man and some wheel. But clean car man!

My car theme has always been black/red/silver. My old Mustang was black and red with a black and grey interior, and my T/A is black on black, but I love the red lighting.

I was thinking about doing the bird and "Trans Am" door emblems in silver, but I also like the blue... Hmm, decisions decisions...

ouch... well stock for stock a Sn95 5.0 is no match for a LS1 car. I should know I use to own one. I wish i still did.. anyone wanna trade me a 94-95 5.0 for my Cobra??

Anyway congrats on the T/A hopefully my ole Silverado won't be the only Lsx vehicle I'll ever own

Just kidding, I was the first to welcome you awhile back. I think you did alright, just get your paint squared away and you'll be good to go.

Quit being a little douche about it. You beat a stock LS1 only after putting thousands and thousands of dollars into the car, congrats. And the tranny not downshifting isnt a ricer excuse, its a drawback of an automatic, you cant just pick whatever gear you wanna be in.

Get over it already, quit whackin off to those vids and give your dick a break.
