Haven't seen you on the board for a while.

Congrats are in order! That's a nice clean looking ride, Chris. When do the stickers start going on?

Good buy, I like the TA. Looking at the pic the same car lot has two other f-bodies. A silver SS and a white RS or Z28. What made you go with the TA over the Camaro? Either way you'll be happy. TA's are very nice. I love mine and wouldn't trad it for anything. Frist mod should be a stall converter!!

i chose the TA over the camaro because of the looks, interior and exterior

i coulda got a z28 with similar miles for probably $3,000 cheaper, but the TA looks a LOT better in my opinion, and the interior is a lot nicer

I wouldn't ever buy a 4th gen camaro over a 4th TA just because of the interior alone!! When I ride in my friends camaro it looks very plain and not comfortable comparied to my TA. Can't beat the looks either

Got to be weird, especially how you like to take cars apart at the track I guess it won't be long before you are tinkering with this one.

Sweet Chris,

Now the only thing you gotta do once you get it is remove that plain looking hood, contact Rex at www.americansportscar.com
and have him send you the Ram air hood. Mine looks exactly like your right now (except its red) and I just got my hood delivered yesterday. The body shop should have it on and painted by tuesday at the latest.

Later
Mike

**** i aint touchin this car :P i dont even plan on doing any of those free mods i keep hearin about, i'm happy enough just drivin it

mikie, i think the stock hood looks better than a WS6 hood on a white TA tho on black, red and silver the WS6 hood looks better

but one thing that i DO want is those blue aluminum rims from the 35th anniversary trans ams

Cool bro,

Oh and God forbid you would ever wreck or mess up the hood. but If you ever need another hood then just hit me up and Ive got my stock hood put up. You can have it free of charge.

Later man.
