I bought this T/A in April '05. I really wanted a NBM Firehawk, but couldn't find one for a decent price, so when I saw this silver one I was sold. It was all stock when I got it, and I have been slowly modding it since, thanks to the good people on LS1tech.com and Larry @ Speed Inc.

Went out to Byron, to get the final runs of the year in. My best run was 11.810 @ 114.65, with a 1.66 60 ft. Car ran 11.818 3 times as well. Pretty happy with the results, now it's time to start thinking about mods to make it faster for next year.

Finally got the car to the track to see what it would run. Took it out the Byron Dragway on Friday(Oct 3rd), and got about 8 runs in. The best being a 11.8 @ 114.24 mph and the worst was a 12.0 @ 113 mph. The rest of the runs were all at around 11.9 around 113-114 mph. My best 60' was 1.68, and stayed around 1.7-1.8 on the rest of the runs.

Haven't done anything with or to the car in a while. I have only had a chance to drive it a handful of times, and on weekends it seems to always rain so I can't get out and drive it then. Really thinking about selling it and using the money towards the purchase of a C6 Vette..........Okay done with my rant.........

Super nice car. My favorite newer muscle car. I owned a 2001 WS6. A 373 rear gear makes a big difference in the performance, and don`t effect the driveability any.Once again beautiful car.......
Petty Bird, Pretty Bird!
Very nice 'Bird, your's is one of the first T/A's I noticed with TTMs, your car is so clean and looked so bad ass, I had to get similar wheels when I got my 'Bird. Sweet!
man that is one of my favorite birds right now!
Great lookin ride! I like the mods too! Well done!
Nice ride.
badass ws6

Nice car! Nice mod list too...Mine's similar...you must have a factory freak to make that kind of power w/catted exhaust...mine's wide open and I've got a bit bigger intake path w/a bit less power. Very nice!
Hey your car looks great! I've always loved the look of it! How do you like the G5X3? I'm looking at getting one for myself. Is it on the 112 or the 114 LSA?
