FS/FT 98 Trans Am M6 LS1, new pics up Looking for built/turbo'd cars preferably
It pains me to do it, but I'm considering getting rid of my trans am. The car is a 98, 6 speed, 3.42 gear, 93.5k miles, rebuilt title. It's basically stock with the exception of exhaust (no cats, magnaflow polished stainless muffler, stainless rolled edge tips- which is all about 1.5 months old) and the corvette wheels (17x8.5 and 18x9.5) This is a beautiful, reliable, head-turning car, however there are a few imperfections.
Basically the bad of the car is quite a few rock chips on the headlights, a few on the front bumper, a few surface scratches from being a 9 year old car, the drivers side window is scratched up and needs to be replaced to make the car look perfect (it came loose from the track and the previous owner let it flop around and scratch up)- the window is still loose b/c I want to replace it, as opposed to just fixing the scratched window. There is also about a 1" piece of fiberglass gone from the bottom of the passenger door, which you really cant even notice unless you're within 5 feet or so. Lastly, the check engine light is on, due to the cat's being removed, so it needs to have them disabled with ls1 edit or a similar program, the car still runs very well though.
I did take the car to the track one time on a test and tune night. I made 2 passes the best of which was a 13.59. Keep in mind that this is on street tires, with my girlfriend in the car, along with my stereo and over 1/2 tank of gas. Basically I had an extra 250 lbs riding, which should be easily good for 2 tenths. The car should run 13.3's easy, which is impressive to me for a basically stock TA.
I'm really open to anything, and would consider selling the car outright or trading it straight, or with cash (depending on your car of course). As I said before the title is rebuilt, but it has no leins, it is free and ready to go.
I'm really looking for a nice turbo'd honda, at least an aftermarket piston/rod motor, will consider anything though...
I apoligize for jumping around in this post, any more info you desire will be provided up on request. here are a couple of recent pics, more also available upon request

I would like to add one thing, the wheels were on the car when I got them, they are in good shape aside from one of them having about a 3/4" bad spot in the face of the outer lip. Just want to describe it as best I can, at least it's imperfections..
The car starts up perfectly, doesnt smoke, doesnt burn any oil, doesnt lose any other fluds, doesnt make any funny sounds or knock... thats all I got for now.

Re: Testing Waters For Trade 98 Trans am, ram air, 6 speed (ballmode)
It's an amazing car, but the majority of the reason I wanna get rid of it is b/c I'm one ticket away from losing my liscense, and my job depends on me having a valid driver's liscense. I had my integra for 2 years that was an 11.9 car, this car is a second and a half slower, and I've gotten 2 in it already. It's just a cop magnet.
If I do end up keeping the car, I'm gonna put a small cam in it, have it tuned, add a 4.10 and a 125 shot... Thats when ls1's get fun

Re: Testing Waters For Trade 98 Trans am, ram air, 6 speed (SeaArrExx)
bump, I really think I'm ready to trade this... all offers welcome
I'd prefer something boosted w/pistons & rods (aftermarket for those who will be smartasses in their replies)

It was hit in the drivers front corner, the inner fender support was replaced, not pulled. I haven't carfaxed yet, but anyone who has it is welcome to the vin, I'm curious to see what it says on there.
