About this Current Vehicle:

I purchased this car when I was 20 years old working from a grocery store. It was the hardest $8,000 I ever earned. In my opinion I got a heck of a deal at the time considering how the blue book value was nearly $3,000 more and the car wasn't beat on like many of the cars that I test drove. I'm in love with this car and now that I have a real job and money I could easily buy something newer and faster but instead I am keeping this thing around and making it more noticeable to crowds of people as I drive it. If you know anything about the lt1 fbody then you will know the amount of work it took me to get it to look as it does now.

Factory Options:

Leather, T-tops, 6-speed, 3.42 limited slip rear, power everything.


Exterior Modifications:

Last LT1 Trans Am hood built by U.S. Exotics, Boyd Coddington Junkyard dog wheels, g- Force KDW2's, black painted calipers with metallic clear coat, custom fog light, smoothed out front bumper with bird emblem removed, side molding removed. WS6 emblem, Corsa Tips, Smoothed locks, Side moldings delete,

H3 8000K real HID conversion in fog lamps.
Nightshade tails, side markers

Interior Modifications:

Polished gauge trim, SLP emblem, B&M Polished T handle, Custom Polished switch gauge, no spray painted interior pieces for me.

Performance:

OBD1 conversion, LT4 knock module, NGK iridium plugs, MSD wires, MSD coil, Madz28 tuning, K&N intake, air foil, Edelbrock ceramic coated headers, Magnaflow catback exhaust, Ram clutch, Pro 5.0 shifter and short stick, Manual fan switch, QTP electric exhaust cut out, Racetronix high flow fuel pump and hotwire kit.

Curently having a 10 bolt cleaned up and tossing in a set of GM 4.10 gears. Hopefully I can get a few years out of it and some decent passes at the drag strip!

Suspension/Chassis:

S/A adjustable koni shocks on stock springs. Lower perch up front, rear isolator removed. $1,000 for just the shocks!

Drivetrain:

Ram clutch , Borg Warner 6-speed manual gear box, 4.10's going in this winter

Electronics:

Accel 300+ racing ignition , Sony MP3 player cd deck, who needs woofers when you have a sexy exhaust note

To-Do List:

4.10 gears, delete A/C, Air, egr, cats, Relocate alternator, and P/S pump, retune computer, Firehawk air box install,
