Default Greetings from WV

Hello everyone from the mountains of WV. Recently picked up a 2000 trans am with only 58k miles on it. She's in great shape for the age but I plan to make a few upgrades. Umi sway bars, lowering springs and koni shocks are already on the way along with a strut tower brace and adjustable panhard bar. Plan to make this a fun not quite daily driver.

Nice! Welcome to the site. Once you start modding, you'll never be able to stop, lol

Mods are addicting. Luckily I have only caught the appearance mod bug. I want to turbo mine, but I am happy for now with it. Welcome! Beautiful TA you have!

yes they are! I just ordered rims, some subframe connectors, stainless brake lines, new ebc brakes on all 4 corners, a kenwood head unit and I have an appointment booked for ceramic tint. Oh new iridium plugs and msd plug wires too lol. Trying to get it freshened up some for the shows this fall. This winter I will have plenty of time for engine mods in hopes to get it ready for the track next year. Hope to get the time this weekend to put most of this on...the boxes are starting to get in the way.

When I got mine the older gentleman had just finished it. Looks like you have yourself a nice set of suspension mods there!

Yeah I figured the 24yr old suspension should be the first thing I address. Wanted better tires too but the 16" rims are limiting so I'm going with c7 zr1 replicas in 17x9.5 and probably Firestone firehawk indy 500 tires.
