Well, i just recently sold a 98 trans am that i had on this page for about 3 weeks. It was an LS7 427 swap and powerful as hell. I found someone who wanted it and paid a little more than i did for the car so i gave it up. So for the last about week or so ive been looking online for another F-body. The critera that my new car had to have was 1, it needed to be an LS1 or better, 2 it needed to be an F-body, whether it was a corvette, a GTO, another trans am, or a camaro, 3 it had to be a 6 speed, (the trans am was an atoumatic and it was weak, well weak I guess is not the correct wording for this suped up to shit transmission, It had a 2800 TCI stall converter and a very nice shift kit, I just was not to happy with the fact that i was not in control of the shift points.) and finally 4 it needed to be black. So the search was on
And this would be what i found. It is in fact a 6 speed, its black, its a supped up ls1, and its an F-body...couldn't have gone better in my opinion.
The exterior includes the Rk sport body kit, Torque Thrust II chrome rims wrapped around with Nitto 555's (275's) A billet grill, Black out lights, t-tops, and a repaint Urathan PPG jet black with 3 coats of clear.
The interior is basically stock, black leather, power everything, and all around really comfortable
The trans is a T-56 Barg Warner with a Centerforce Dual friction stage 4 clutch, and a B&M Ripper shifter with the stock knob, an 11 Lb flywheel capable of over 700hp, Tubular subframes, and a flowmaster exhaust system.
Now although it is not heavily modified it still has some get up an go. The engine is an all aluminum LS1 with Edlebrock RPM heads, a SLP MAF sensor,SLP lid, K&N air filter, SLP cold air intake stainless steel duct, bellow kit, Corvette Fuel Rail Covers, and a Tower Brace. Like i said, not to spactacular but it works well.
Overall the car handles great, it sounds great, and it get right around 28mpg so i couldn't be any happier. Its no 600hp trans am but the pontiac had flaws as well. The camaro is a 98 but it looks and drives like an 08 (if there was a such thing) Interior is flawless, speakers are amazing, power is incredible, and its a very reliable car (knock on wood). And to top it all its another camaro. Lemme know what ya think.
