Default New from VA Beach

He guys name is Kyle. Picked up a 2000 Trans Am WS6 M6 a few weeks ago. Very shorty afterwards took it out to VIR and beat the **** out of it. And she took everything I could give her and kept on rolling. So I would have to say I'm sold on this F body stuff and I'm very excited about it. I know it's a smaller group that road races these cars compaired to straight line stuff but I hope to meet a few of you down the road..

Heres to keeping it on the hard stuff..

Kyle

Welcome to the board. I also live in Va Beach. I can tell you, after owning 7 of these cars, that they are a blast and they will handle every bit of abuse you throw at them. Just be smart about it. Take time to do your research on here and you will gain tons of knowledge. Welcome and hit me up sometime to take a cruise or go to a local show/hangout!!

Welcome to the site. The LS1 is a kick *** motor, you'll have lots of fun with the car and it can take a beating. This is the site to learn about the mods you'll have to do.

Your a very lucky man.. If I find a house out there I'd probably ever leave the track. I'll actually be heading to Summit Point Oct 11-12 for another NASA track day so we will see how the bird likes that.

And thanks everyone for the salutations, seems like a good group of guys on here so far.

And Raise I'll be dropping you a line when I get back to the area.
