Default Morgan Motorsports

Whatever happened to Morgan Motorsports? Back in the early 2000's, they built a 2001 Trans-Am and designed a reeeeeeally nice front fascia for it. The car was called the 'MMS 421'. I always thought that this is the way GM should've designed the front-end for the '98 and up T/As. If I were able to get this front-end, I'd buy an LS1 WS6 in a heartbeat!

Personally, I feel that one's body style is a bit too "out there".

I prefer this one the most out of all the 3rd Party stylings. Shame it never was released either. T/A 427SD.

Paint that MMS 421SD Black and it would have been PERFECT for the new Knight Rider movie instead of that pony.

Don't shoot me, but I don't like the 421 TA. It reminds me way to much of a Nascar car for one of the super speedways.

well that could be to overcharging or just being a dick...which it sounds like he was both...but maybe they were actually good at something...i've got their sfc's and they are huge and stout and apparently one of their cams too...I just hate the tune

Thumbs up

I had him tune Sara (2001 Z28) back in 2004, when I replaced my stock torque converter with a Yank Y3000 and 3.73:1 rear-end gears. I also added a descreened MAF, and SLP lid, and a 180F thermostat.

Mike did a wonderful job tuning my vehicle, here it is over 9 years later, and I have not had 1 problem with his tune.

He corrected a lot of minor problems that existed in Sara, and I found him to be quite personable. He was very polite and gracious and the vehicle was on his dyno for 4 1/2 hours.

I am 65 years old, and found that if you treat people with the respect that you yourself would like to be treated, usually all come out well.
