Default New guy with '02 SOM WS6

Been on the site for a while, finally got my first LS1. Bought it Saturday from a really cool guy in WV (Matt, name on here is mynameisray, great seller). Left Rochester at 4am, left WV with the car at 2pm, got back home at 10pm. Long day, but worth it. Here is some info about the car...

2002 Trans Am WS6
Sunset Orange Metallic
LS1/T56 with 90k miles
Beige/black interior

Copied mod list from the listing here...

-MGW Shifter
-Strano Lowering Springs
-Skip Shift Eliminator
-20% tint all around
-EBC dimpled and slotted rotors
-Hawk HPS pads
-American Racing Long tube Headers 1 3/4"
-American Racing Off-Road y-pipe
-Borla Catback
-UMI Adj. Panhard bar
-UMI Lower Control arm
-UMI 2 point Subframe Connectors
-SLP Lid
-MSD Plug Wires
-NGK Plugs
-New o2 sensors w/ extensions
-Factory LS6 intake
-SLP smooth Bellow

Couple pictures from the ride home...







It's not perfect, but I'm excited about it. You'll see some posts soon asking how to fix a couple little things, I know many here are very knowledgeable when it comes to these cars.

Oh, and Mike at New Era Performance was cool enough to get rid of the SES codes for me because of the ORY and other mods. Now I just have to hope the inspection places doesn't go looking for cats.

Only thing better in my book would be a SOM hawk, but I'm a little prejudiced. Nice car!
