Default New guy in Fort Worth

Hey guys My names Grant. Im picking up a 1999 Pewter Trans am Ram air this week. Has SS Kooks LTs, catless with ORY no muffler, 3.73s, Dyno tune and from what i was told its pushing 403hp and 393lb-tq to the wheels. Its all stock outside but inside it has a full stereo with mids, and highs, subs in the T-top pocket and amps for everything. First thing i will be doing is taking the rear seat out in my eyes one im 6'7 so no one will sit there so there no point to have it and two i was going to make something to put my T-tops back there when i roll with them off. Second will be the CETA mod and also some C5 Z06 rims. Then interior stuff like a double din, pistol grip shifter and racing seats since my driver seat is torn up. I will put some pictures up when i get the car.

I absolutely love the car! Its a quick little beast. Sounds great also. I have a few things i need to fix. Doing a rear seat delete...looks like one screw is stripped out so i will be cutting it off tomorrow. What else do yal recommend? It already has an updated ram air lid. Baffles cut out. I will have rims soon. Probably just 17s.

Hey guys well my pewter T/A did live long. Ended up trading it to a buddy with a 99 red T/A. This poor thing is stock on the motor besides slp lid and a flow(crapster) muffler. Other than that it is lowered on corvette c5 Magnesium staggered rims(Yes they are real! $$$), a crappy fiberglass ram air hood, rebuild stock ls1 and a rebuild auto with shift kit. I have headers waiting to go on it and a few other go fast parts. On to the pics






Just wearing the old dry rotted tires out before replacing them.
