Talking First TA and First Post at LS1Tech

Just wanted to say Hi. I have been on the forums for a while now just looking around. This is a great place for everything! I have owned a 96 Camaro Z28 since 2000 and just now finding out about this site. Resently I purchased a 2002 SOM Trans Am WS6 with 2900 miles on it. It is still new top to bottom. You could eat off the bottom of it. The guy who I bought it from did some work to it giving it a cat-back and a lid (as noted in the sig). I will post some pics of the car when I get home from work.

I dont think that was a bad price. Low miles and like new. I think they cost around $35,000 new, so not bad for the price. Its hard to find low miles on these cars. I picked up a 02 Z-28 Burgandy w t/t 14,480 miles mint shape all stock to the original tires for $16,995. People think I paid to much at that price. I looked for 3 months and couldn't find anything under 20k and all of them had 30k plus miles. I also live in California.

Bad azz car. Wish I could have found one like that with low miles.

He told me but I can not for the life of me remember what he said....He did not like the way GMMG's tips looked. I agree with him to a point. These seem to give you a little more to look at instead of an oval that fills in the gap. Anyway thanks for all the nice replies!
