I hit control F for search and typed in "trans am" and the first one that pops up says "20th Anniversary Trans Am" in the title, could be listed incorrectly.

Actually on the Japan side of things, forget the Supra, I heard a RX7 FD met its fate. Mix that car with some of the LS1's that managed to get destroyed, damn there is my dream car. A LS swapped FD.
I wonder what those guys get for mileage, I bet easily 30+ highway with a t56.

^^this makes no sense to me.....maybe I'm getting old....I never said anything about a roll......
Now granted the 8 sec. street-able supra was running a TH-400, and then again this was 4-5 years ago....oh yeah and it was on pump gas....
I'd still like to have one in my garage (next to the 'camaro of course)

Gov, could have just paid money to have put new engines installed instead of crushing them.
LT1 cars look nicer than new Camaro and LS1 cars. i wonder how many fbody's got crushed. Its rare to see them cars in the first place, probly much worse now.

Which is why he said the drag strip must do roll racing cause a few of the high hp supras only run 12's.

I hated the cash for clunkers program and I would not have done it. However I saw a 98 ls1 automatic trans am in the yard at pull a part. I went yesterday and took the front brakes and spindles off the car. Payed $70 bucks for all of it. The only thing left of any value is the k member and steering rack. I also might be picking those up for a nice $110 and selling them on here for someone who wants to do a ls conversion into a v6 or lt1 car. Its a shame. However all the other cars out there were high mile trucks and suvs from like the late 80s early 90s. Mostly explores,s10s and expeditions.

Yes we do, unless you lied in that thread. You couldn't handle the responsibility that comes with having a used car. You expected to be able to drive it all the time with no issues. Little problems happened, and instead of fixing them or selling it to someone that could fix it for everyday use, you decided to send the motor to engine heaven. Little parts would be ripped off here and there, but eventually the chassis (been looking for a Formula roller myself) will be smashed down.
I would have gladly taken your "lemon" and made some god damn lemonade, as I am sure that 99% of the board would have done as well.
