Sold My M3 & Wrangler - Bought a Trans Am I sold my Wrangler on Friday morning & traded in my M3 for a Trans Am. Picked it up out by Gettysburg last night during a tornadic thunderstorm - sweet. It's a 1998 (Wish it had been a 2000-2002 - oh well). 6 speed, black/white stripes on black leather, t-tops, K&N FIPK, WS6 functional Ram Air hood, Flowmaster catback exhaust, Pioneer head unit & speakers. Aside from that it's all stock, just the way I wanted it. Pardon the crappy cell phone shots...
First, my prior F-body ('93 LT1 A4 Camaro Z28) next to Bam Margera's older Lambo:
And for the new one:
Bye bye M3:
Stripes are coming off as well.

FWIW: I got $6000 for the M3. I honestly got bored of the car. It had 116k miles on it as well and just didn't have enough power for me. The Wrangler had 196,000 miles on it. I loved it, but I drove it a total of 4 times from October of last year to May of this year. I wanted someone who would use it to buy it.
The hood is a WS6 hood (functional). The car is not a true WS6. All the WS6's I found around here were automatic and $14,000, or 150,000+ miles. This was the least expensive one with under 100,000 miles in the area with a functional ram air hood. IMO it's not worth spending $5000 more for an auto trans and WS6 hood/suspension, or 50,000 more miles.
Mod-wise I am going to keep it how it is with the intake and exhaust. Not much more I "need" right now. May be able to get some wheels for very cheap at work since we have accounts with Mickey Thompson, Cragar, American Racing, The Wheel Group, Ion Alloy, PDK, etc.
For MPG improvements (It's better than my M3 already but wouldn't mind more) what should I be looking at?
Thanks!
Hahah I didn't bump every post. I only bumped a couple that I remember enjoying when I was here last ;-)
