Ricer making the switch
Welcome to the next level of automotive performance!! There is nothing like an Lsx motor that will perform as good. If your looking for parts and knowledge this is the website to be at, I get most of my parts from vendors like, texas speed and performance,speed inc,thunder racing.......just to name a few
My brother used to have an '01 Eclipse Spyder Gt. It was actually very nice. He did a lot of work to it, including supercharging it. It was pretty fast, as i remember, but now that i think about it was probably only as fast as a full bolt-on f-body. It was really a sexy car, but he started having marital problems (nothing to do with the car) so he demodded it, and sold it. he then wanted to buy an Audi, but decided to go cheap with a Passat! i was very disappointed with him, but he said he needed a family car. I know he still wants something fast, and he loves to drive he has to have a manual tranny with all his cars. If the GTO had a four-door i know he'd buy it. I also wish the Grand Prix GTP/GXP came in manual.

thanks man. i like the hood and wing on both the WS6/SS so that's why im leaning that direction. it seems like there's a lot of stuff needed to prep the car before any power is added. frame stiffening, new rear, and misc. things like that.
so which model should i be looking for if i want to boost it?

The reasoning is that the sponsers here have to answer for bad business practices. Get screwed??? well post up your complaint/grievance in the sponser feedback forum. The sponser will then have an opportunity to defend himself, and other members who have delt with the sponser in the past will chime in to support the sponser or perhaps attack him with claims similar to yours. Simply put, BAD SPONSERS DON'T LAST LONG.

You will be extremely happy when you cross over.. I drove an FWD turbo dodge for the past 2 years and picked up a low mileage WS-6 with some minor suspension work. I love it. I will miss the flickability from my SRT but that all goes out the window when i hit the go pedal.

If your going to buy a car to mod then get a T/A or a Z28 they're not as expensive so the money you save can go into your mods or make it look like a WS6 or SS. I personaly hate it when people buy a ss and cut it up in a race car or some **** but thats me.

thanks a lot guys for the welcome. are there any weight differences between the trans am and the z28? if there is than the lighter one will be my final choice. btw why doesnt my post count go up?
If looking for light weight look for a z28 with no options. Formula's are supposed to be light too, but most low optioned Firebirds I've looked at still had like audio controls on the steering wheel and such, typically the Pontiac's have more options.
In other words some of the cars out there have manual cloth seats, etc, where as most T/A's have heavy *** power leather and other creature comforts. Look around, somewhere on here is a list of what stuff weighs in these cars.
