Default Finally!

Well after spending my younger years driving camaros and always drueling over the Trans Am WS6, 20yrs later I finally got one! Its a 2002 Trans Am WS6 M6 only 38,000 original miles. I've been looking for a couple of years trying to find a clean one that hasn't had the crap beat out of it, and I think I got a good one. It's super clean inside and out and has had alot of mods done that I would have done anyways. The motor has Texas speed heads and cam, LS6 intake, SLP full exuast and lid. It has several suspension mods done and rearend has been swaped out. Spec 3 clutch, brembo calipers, drilled and slotted rotors. It has XIX rims, 19x8.5 front and 20x11 rear, DNA Motoring drop springs with Koni struts and shocks. Really happy so far, the car is extremly quick and a blast to drive.

Enjoy the ride
Hopefully the mods were done right and won't cause any issues. Always a gamble.

Looks great and it pulls off the 20's very well (usually not a fan of such a big wheel on f-bodies).

Thanks guys! All the mods that were done were my main concern also as I like to do all the mods myself. I talked to the guy for awhile about the car before I bought it just trying to spot some BS but the guy was legit and knew his stuff about cars. He had receipts for everything that was bought and done and then had the dyno sheets from where he had it tuned after the motor mods. I'm pretty picky when it comes to this stuff and I have been all through the car and it looks good. I still wish I could have done the work but for the price and the shape the car was in I couldn't pass it up, it's as close to new as I could find. I did do the drop springs and new struts and shocks and just a lot of fine detailing, but other than that it doesn't need much. Maybe some dressing up under the hood and some stereo upgrades this winter.

I just recently joined the site but have spent quite a bit of time on here checking out the cars and there is a lot of gorgeous cars on here(especially the Trans am's) If Pontiac ever comes back from the dead and releases the Trans Am again, I'll be first in line for that ticket!
