Default New ta!!! :d

so i just picked up my new trans am a few hours ago..

sold my car on thursday and went to the bank friday... finished up the paper work and went and picked it up about an hour away tonight..

car has run a best of.. 7.4@92mph... i think it has some more in it, and will find out!

heres the OP from the car..

and a few taken from my phone from tonight..




not too many big plans for it... going to make the cutout electric.. chrome C5Zo6 rims.. little bit of nitrous.. and thats about it.. love the way it sounds and drives.. probably will add a 12 bolt down the road..

let me know what you think!

thanks man..

ahhhh, no real reason really other than looking for something else..

it was about as fast as it was going to go NA without touching suspension... i didnt feel like putting more money in it and honestly got kind of bored with it.. it could have went 6.7s-6.8s@98+... but i didnt feel like doing the work.. little suspension and a good tune and it would have been there in good weather NA..

i wanted something all around nicer.. not better, but nicer.. i DD the white one and it was a pain in the *** with a huge *** cam 1 chambers before the axle 410s 4k stall etc etc etc... was just too loud and a pain.. no ac/radio/cruise control/etc etc etc etc..
this car drives like near stock.. its very quit with the cut out closed.. is full weight.. working ac/radio and all those nice things, back seat..

i wanted a fast and pretty car!

hell yea it is.. no comforts kinda sucks.. i had absolutely nothing on my white one..
and AC is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love this car...

but, what is wierd.. at idle, its VERY quiet.. taking off its very quiet.. inside its very quiet.. but when you go WOT it SCREAMS.. i wont say its as loud as the TA (LT's xpipe 1 chambers before axle) but its damn near close to it.. and thats with the cutout CLOSED!
just thought that was strange..

11.7@115.. didnt think it was too bad for how street friendly the car is.. and being full weight with a cam considered "small" and heads meant for FI setups...
i think i can get it to a sub 11.5@117+ with a few minor tweaks.. we shall see!

Lol, I knew you'd eventually want all the creature comforts again Nice ride man, and hey now people will think you're faster with the infamous "WS6" package. Maybe a little WS6 envy drove you to it, got tired of everyone saying "too bad it's not a WS6" perhaps? lol. Car looks great man.
