Hello all , Just wanted to tell whoever cares that I am the proud owner of a pewter colered Trans Am " 99 " got a unrealistic deal on this car " 8900 " its in imaculant condition ....... Already looking into a cam install ...........

 

Thsi post should be in the lounge or something like that. Or maybe even in the LS1 tech. But i can see why you did since you have a lt1. Sounds like you got a really good deal. How many miles does it have on it?

 

I posted in LT1 because for now im partial , it has 109k on it , still , it books for way way way more then that

 

very nice...

I had the choice of getting a 98 Z for 8500 that had 90K miles on it... but i heard the LS1s dont like 100k+ mileage, but LT1s can take hell of a beat, so i went for the 97 TA instead

that also probably makes me the only person that chose a LT1 over a LS1

 

LOL........trust me , I wasnt on the market for a new car , it was purely the deal . I hope the LS1 does hold like the LT1 cause gd knows mine has not seen 1 easy day in its existance , has over 175 and still hauls.......w/out any trouble , I love my LT1 so much

 

According to his sig he still has the LT1. But If you sold the LT1 for an LS1, then yes get out of here now, trader.

J/k Congrats on the new ride

 

No i chose the lt1 over the ls1 also. I payed $9,800 for mine. But it only had 50,000 on the clock and the body was in perfect condition, not 1 scratch or ding. I wanted a ls1 but the ones in the same price range had way more miles on it. Or were all beaten up. I'm happy with my lt1 anyways though.

 

Nope. I happened across a perfect condition 2002 LS1 6-speed hardtop yesterday in Alabama with only 4700 miles on it. It was a 6-speed too. The dealer was going to give me pay-off on my LT1 and sell the LS1 for $19K.
Truthfully, I'd rather have my 77000 mile 97Z with a couple dings in it. I'm comfortable tearing into my car. Not so tempted to rip into a solid aluminum engine with a plastic intake. Besides, I've already handed a couple stock LS1 a healthy dose of embarassment at the track or on the street (Now the modded ones can be another story ) But so can a modded late 80's 5.0 Mustang :blah:
Also, this really is a post for "the lounge".

Optispark, yeah your optispark.

 

You guys paid alot for your cars huh? I only paid 8500 when my car had 45k on it. Only one little blemish on it to.

 

ls1's kick my ***

 

blah blah blah blah LOUNGE FODDER!!!!

 

Yeah , my buddie has a LS1 w/headers , and the damn thing will run a 13.0 flat all day long w/110k on the odometer . Besides the redisghned front end on the Trans Am is gorgeous .... Eventhgough the body on my camaro is not stock Here is a pic

I think im going to sell it to a good friend of mine , I know he'll take care of it as good as i did . WIth all the miles it looks new inside out w/few exterior scratches

 

Actually , I have never paid alot for any of my cars , I had a loaded formula , 94 , when i bought it it had 56k and was worth 14000 , I paid 10 thousand for it . I bought the camaro 2 years ago , paid 6k for it . That is a heck of a deal on a firehawk though
