Default Hello

New Register to the forums here. I've
been here many times before, as it can get
some what addictive!

I do not have an ls1 but an lt1. It is a 1996
Trans Am m6, red-orange metallic hardtop with
graphite cloth interior. I bought it from the original
owner who special ordered it from pontiac. All
options but t/c, leather, t's, and cd. It now has
about 65k on the odometer and is still in the garage
because there is two feet of snow on the ground.
I just recently paid it off, so i should have some more $
to sink into it. I got just the basics for now: b&m shifter,
moroso cai, flowmaster muffler. As of now it is not my
daily driver.

Anyways, enough about me. I look foward to enjoying
the site.

peace---Dan

Yeah, let's see some pictures of that car. Red-orange is that SOM looking color, right? I want a Formula in the color really bad. Saw a V6 one once and loved it.

Hey. For now you can check out my car at Cardomain.com/memberpage/427165.
Those are my most recent pics. before I stored it in November. I have not taken it to the track or had it dynoed it the 2+ years I've owned it, believe it or not. I want to leave this one as is and get another car to race/daily drive. I would LOVE a turbo TA or a GN, but maybe an LS1 camaro/formula auto. We'll see as $$$ allows! Also, I have yet to see another firebird the same color around here or very many on the net, so I'm curious on total # made. Anyone know if PHS includes that info in their packets? The color is what made me buy it. The contrasts are amazing-light/dark.
Looks pink/orange in direct sun. Hope ya like it--see you. DAN
