Hello everyone! Finally decided to sign up on here after a few months of just browsing. I definitely did not think I'd wind up in a 2000 Firehawk this past summer, but it happened! I'm normally a Japanese import guy, but found myself drawn to Trans Ams the more I searched for a summer ride. So I wound up purchasing #323, 1 of 8 M6 in Bright Silver with t-tops and Bilstein Level 2 suspension package. It's pretty much stock aside from frame ties, SLP lid and LM2 catback. Of course, I just parked it for winter and now have the next few months to figure out what I want to do with it. I originally envisioned myself trying to keep it as is and just enjoy driving it, but that didn't quite last very long. So now I have to decide if I should sell and go for a WS6 to play around with, or throw some true duals, intake, cam, and a tune on the hawk. What should I do? It's just shy of 80k and the purist in me says I'm doing the wrong thing by modding it.
BTW, needless to say in these past few months of browsing I have learned a ton and really wonder why I didn't pick up an LS car sooner.

With the mileage on it, it's out of the collectability realm. If the car has been taken care of, throw the mods on and enjoy it! The car has been enjoyed for 80k miles already. Drive it, mod it, enjoy it.

Yeah, good point. I am looking over cam packages now, leaning towards TSP Torquer V2. I have a TD setup ready to go on the car once spring arrives.
