Default Trans Am Convertible
It's been almost 15 years since I've owned an F-body and I picked up a really fun 1995 Trans Am Convertible. I have learned soooo much by just reading all the posts here and look forward to "playing" around with my new Vert.

Just started replacing all the suspension bushings and upgrading sway bay bushings to poly.

Mods to date:
318 RWHP
Hot Cam
K and N Intake System
1.6 Roller Rockers
Headers
Custom Tune
Magnaflow Exhaust
Rebuilt Auto Trans with shift kit
LS1 Brakes with Hawk Pads
Sony Stereo System with new Speakers and IPOD controls
Bass Tube in trunk (can't really hear it, so that was a waste)

Wow! You can dump more $$$ into this thing than a boat, but man is it fun!
