My new project 98 Trans Am
So I finally sold most of the parts to my integra street/strip car as it was becoming more strip than street. I wanted something I could drive cross country, something that sounded mean and that pretty much everyone respected, so I decided on a car that I've wanted literally since they came out in 98.
It's a 98 6 speed w/ 90k miles....
I bought it a week ago, and hopefully by the end of the summer I'll have everything the way I want it. My plans for the car are pretty simple, b/c these cars are so easy to get power from. I'm going to do a 4.10 gear, aftermarket pos unit, line lock, 125 shot, underdrive pulley, cam, and tune. I'm considering a set of black foose nitro wheels in 18" w/polished lip as well.
The only non stock parts on the car as of not are a hurst short shifter and hurst T handle (which i'm gonna switch out for the black round hurst stock style **** that has a nitrous button), and a magnaflow exhaust.
Here are a couple of pics, I'll get more today hopefully... and as of now, that truck is just as fast as my car, haha.

Cool T/A man!
However, you insist on getting a line-lock and some other things I wouldnt think of doing at first.
Why not lid/longtubes and head/cam ? Then get HPTuners or LS1edit. /shrugs
I've never been a fan of Ls1's on the bottle, maybe becuase I like the sound of one screaming all motor
Get a 4.10 and a 12-bolt rear end QUICK becuase if you hook hard, that 10-bolt will start cryin for mommy and eventually break

Id like to think my friend's car is badass :
Texas Speedshop Magic Stick 3 cam
bbk 80mm TB
LS6 heads(z06)
lid
Longtube headers
true duals (turndown)
HPtuners tuned
Its a badass car, and sounds like it rev's to the moon.

Re: My new project 98 Trans Am (slowteg550)
Nice buy, I can't say I'm a fan of those C5 wheels on there though. But it beats another muscle car driving around on torque thrusts.

Everyones too narrow minded, that can will spank 90% of the cars on this website so haters stfu. As for 4.10s, thats way too small of a gear for driving cross country if you want, 3.73s are more what you need if you plan on doing highway. LS6 conversion would be nice though.. But H/C with a tune, LT and duals, you'll be pretty stout. Wont even need the nitrous. But ya go have some LSFun lol.
