Default My sexy Trans Am

Yes it's an LT1, but I'm in love with the car. I've put alot of time, money and hard work into this car to get her to look as sexy as she does. I love LS1 cars and I'm actually looking at a 2002 NHRA T/A. However nothing look's like my 97. During the next few months alot of money is going under the hood and I will be needing your technical advise guys. Let me know what you think of the pics.

lose that hood and put an LT1 Ram Air hood on it and it will look 10 times better. that hood just doesnt follow the lines of an LT1 car like it does an LS1.

The hood was built by US Exotics and I think it stands out alot better than the ws6 hood. I've got alot of plans for the car but I've been looking at a couple low mileage 02 T/A's that I really want too. I've got alot of consideration during the next few weeks. Here are a few more shots. I think if she were lowered it would finish off the exterior stance really well.

Wow I actually love that hood on your car...and it looks super clean too, toss a 1.5 inch drop on that puppy and you will be set. I also would like to know what your plans with the engine are? If you are going to be doing a whole new block or engine id def stick with the lt1 instead of going ls1. Figure with the money you save on an 02 TA you could toss in a nice forged 383 with a 150 shot and put down over 500 rwhp.
