Like many of you, I fell in love with the bad-*** look of the 98-02 Trans Am WS-6. SO, I saved up and bought one! I've got a 2000 Trans Am WS-6 that I bought with 146k miles and it now has arond 148k. It's stock except for what I just found out today was a Xlerator exhaust (the guy I bought it from claimed it was flowmaster), a aftermarket clear ram air lid, which I'm looking to replace soon with a SLP Lid, and chrome torque thrust-m wheels. Im 17, turning 18 in Feb, bullshitting my way through senior year, and headed to University of North Carolina at Wilmington next year. I'm starting to save up money to start doing some mods, but not quite sure where to start. I've been reading a lot of the informational posts around the site and trying to learn what's what and what I want to do, and it's been very interesting!
Here's a couple pics
