Default It was a long wait.

It was a warm spring Saturday at the New Orleans Superdome in 1998 when I first saw it at the World of Wheels. The New Pontiac Trans Am WS6. It was the perfect car with lines like I have never seen before. And the view from the front was unlike anything on the road. I was in love! Ever since then, this has been my absolute dream car. I vowed that I would definately have one, and today is that day. I am finally at a point in my life where I could make the purchase, and here she is. My 2001 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 M6, Black on Black, 43,XXX mi. The previous owner took absolute rediculous (in a good way) care of her, and I am forever grateful for that. The interior is spotless, and still smells new!

I will post more pics after a good waxing this weekend.





100% Stock, down to the paper air filter.


And thanks to you guys..........SLP Lid.
