Sup y'all? My ride is a 1983 Pontiac Trans Am "Daytona 500" pace car. It's got about 125,xxx miles on it and is a very nice car. For now it has the stock LG4 305 V8 mated to a T5 5-speed non World Class transmission. Puts out a tire-shredding 150 hp and 240 torque. LoL! I hope to someday do an LQ4/T56 swap, but that won't be for awhile. Until then, I'll be roaming this forum and learning all I can about my dream set-up. Glad to be here!
Few pics of the car:

As it sits now (transmission issues, but will hopefully be road-worthy this next week):

Sold the Monte Carlo SS wheels/tires and got a set of 17x9 SLP Firehawk wheels and refinished them myself lastnight:

Hoping this is what it will look like when wheels/tires are on (photochop):
