Well, I bought and LS1 trans am 6 speed, thats why. Got a sweet deal that I couldn't pass up
99 Trans Am with 89k miles on it (well, after the drive back to OH it has 89, haha)
I drove down to South Carolina from NE Ohio and picked it up on Friday.
Friday night I started teardown on both it and my formula to transfer over my Koni Shocks and Pro Kit Springs as well as my wheels. Finished today and got pics as the sun was going down.

and now here she is



She also has a fair bit done to her
FLP Long Tube Headers Corsa Catback Exhaust System BMR Strut Tower Brace BMR Adjustable Lower Control Arms (Rear) K&N Cold Air Intake LS6 intake manifold Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft (230/232 .595 Lift on 114 LSA) T/A Girdle (Rear End Brace) Richmond 4.10 Gears (Rear End) Cartek Stage III clutch B&M Ripper Short Shifter Line Lock Comp 918s Valve Springs Titanium Retainers Hardened Pushrods NGK TR55 Spark Plugs ASP Underdrive Pulley Kenny Brown Double Diamond Subframe Connectors 160 Degree Thermostat Super Hawk Hood Functional Ram Air Hood with Functional Heat Extractors Silve Face Gauges Custom Embroidered Firebird Headrests
and then I just put these on:
UMI Adjustable Pan Hard Ba Eibach LT1 Pro-Kit Lowering Springs Koni Sport Adjustable Shocks 18" HP Evo Wheels
this thing is just nasty fast to me and with the suspension is it just a sinister machine, I think I am in love!
more pictures can be found here

and here is the fomula too with the OZ wheels the trans am came with and back to stock shock and springs

I don't know what it is going to cost to get the flywheel resurfaced but it doesn't seem to really be bothering it to much right now.
