Default Newbie from Jersey

Hey guys, I'm 18 and from E Brunswick, NJ. I just got a 2000 Trans Am WS6, actually bought it off of midnight on these forums. It's got Pacesetter longtubes, hooker aerochamber with catless y, and a mti lid. I've lurked around these forums for awhile now trying to research as much as i could about these cars, and now that i got one all i have to say is: holy ****, im hooked.

Hopefully i'll see some other F-Bodys around where i live.

EDIT: oh yeah, heres a pic of the car,

Welcome, I'm also from the Toms River area(about 10 miles further south). I just bought my car in January(in sig) and don't get my license until the beginning of June. Once I can start driving this thing I'll be up for a cruise.

tune time is in toms river on route 9 near route 37, the guys there are awesome, matt is very knowledgable, and they have a mustang dyno which is the best in my opinion.

hey guys check in the regional eastern forum i will be posting info for people to cruise and meet up near toms river and maybe have a barbecue one day. post there if you want to go.
