Default Raced a 98-02 Trans Am

I was crusin down the road and saw a Navy Blue T/A going down Red Bluff. It had a WS6 hood, but I didn't see the WS6 emblem on the rear, so I dunno if it was or not. We got a couple runs in going down Spencer and BW8 feeder. He seemed like a pretty cool guy and asked if I got on LS1Tech and I said yup. To tell you the truth we were both about even the whole time. I am pretty sure it was a 6-speed car. He said that he just put headers on the car and also had a cat-back system. His car sounded really good. I dunno what other mods he had if any. Told me he has run high 12's, so I thought I did pretty good. For whoever doesn't know what I have done to my car it is a full bolt-on Auto GT. Well he told me to come post on here that I hung with an LS1, so I decided to. Maybe he will post on here so I can find out if it was a WS6 or not and what kinda mods he had.

Nice representin with the almighty 4R70W .

For me the T/C helps a lot from a slow roll, but its a bit much from a stop without sticky tires.

From a dead stop, it will just sit and there and spin from a stop with a little forward movement until I let out or it shifts into 2nd with street tires on it. I usually pull a nice low 1.7 60' at the track. That was in hot humid weather and before the gear swap, so I might be able to pull a 1.6 out of it next time.

lol, no I don't.

Besides, reading some of his other posts, I would of say he wasn't but since he drives one, that makes it ok.
