Well i hate to do it, But i need the money. I have to sell her. So if your interested read up on her and leave me a message. $10,000. obo. I bought this 1997 Pontiac Trans am in 2000 because my girlfriend (x now) didnt like getting into my lifted Bronco (see "soo tuff")It had 13,400 miles on it when i got it from a police auction i guess it was siezed for running drugs. i was doing pretty good on keeping the miles down on it until i met this cute little girl in Texas. needless to say i was driving back and forth to north Texas for six months 2 times a month (Ya it was good) and at 2400 miles a trip i started piling on the miles.I loved getting out on that open road between New Mexico and Texas where i could open her up. I would get it up to 145mph with plenty to go. At 130,000 miles on her and 1 week after i put my new LT4 Cam in it ($3000.) i was racing a mustang down the 51 when i noticed him pulling away, and at 145 mph i thought to myself, either he just hit the NOS or i broke. well when i looked down at my tach ,it was on 0. well, I spun a cam bearing and 2 rod bearings. And so heres my new motor: 5.7 LT1 350 bored 30 over,11:5:1 compression, LT4 Hot Cam, LT4 knock sensor, Roller rockers, milled & ported heads,Pacesetter headers with y pipe, Flowmaster exhaust,Hypertech Programmed computer,52mm BBK trottle body,BBK under pulley,K&N cold air intake system, MSD wires,MSD Opti spark, switched my drive shaft to a ls1 aluminum shaft.(it is about 20 lbs. lighter.)Dyno tuned by ADS in Chandler Az. 245/40 17 BF Goodrich tires on Eagle 5 spoke Polished wheels. And for the sound system, Orion HDDA mono 1200 watt amp for the 3-10" JL subs. Soundstream dvd/cd player with a 5.5" moniter. Orion 4 channel amp for the Orion 6"mid bass,Infinity mids&tweeters in the doors and Infinitys in the back hatch, w/sirius satelite system for the digital sound. Items to follow:Ram air hood, 150 shot NOS, Eibach lowering springs. Pictures to follow (Now wheres that Mustang)
