Default 1st post, just showing off my new Trans Am

Just picked up this 2002 WS6 this week. First one I've owned. Needless to say I am beyond excited! Hopefully the pics posted, if not maybe someone can give me a hand and tell me how to post.

The picture loaded fine. You just have to click on it for enlargement. That's how I've done mine over the years here.
Tell us a little more about the car. It's all in the details.
Glad to see another car show aficionado here. Good lookin' ride.

As far as what it's got in it: SLP exhaust, SLP blackwing intake kit, shift kit, and a dry nitrous setup that I don't plan to use. The only issues are the sail panel, a little place on the back bumper where the paint is "spider-webbing", and the drivers side window won't roll up completely.

My plans for the car are to use it as show/street car. It's just a 3rd vehicle that I plan on having fun with. I may play with it at the drag strip, but I'm not going to bracket race it. I plan on fixing all the issues that are currently wrong with the car. One of the first things I want to do is get a good tune. I've looked and there are not a lot of options for a custom tune near Mobile, AL so if anyone knows of somewhere or can recommend a good hand-held tuner I would appreciate it.

Other than that I will probably just add some subframe connectors, HID headlights, and maybe upgrade the radio/sound system.

Beautiful car my man, if your looking for a decent tune to get you by, try a mail order tune from tuned by frost. I am new to the board as well, this forum is how I found out about tuned by frost he does a awesome job.

Thanks everyone! Took her to the track a few nights ago just to see what she'll do. Best pass was a 8.32, 1/8th mile. Also just got my personalized tag in yesterday. Hopefully I'll be taking it in for a Dyno tune sometime soon, and getting a second set of back wheels so I can change out to drag radials.

Torque thrust wheels always look good on Fbody's trying to find a set for mine. Great looking car man.

That's a clean sexy looking rear view, blacked out rear always looks sinister.
