Ive been tanted... June 11, 2012, 09:55:03 AM LS1, T-56, T-Top having Hoosier awesomeness.So the 89 needs to go away now. No more WWD for a while. First "big boy" car I've had and next to the GP, the most cookie cutter car I've ever had.Now i have less reason to rush the Cougar and do it however I want later. Who knows, this drivetrain might end up in it. 3' all the way back, no cats, resonator, or ler... Its loud! 4.11s arent bad at all with 6 gears. Guess I need to start learning LS motors. Second GM Ive ever owned out of 17 cars, wonder how this one will go. Time for more mullet and less sleeves. Quote Selected
Ive been tanted... Reply #1 – June 11, 2012, 10:04:03 AM I suppose to each his own, but I have never been an F-Body fan. They're about as interesting to me as an 87-93 Mustang...and those are snooze inducing.Granted, the LSx motors can do their thing, but that's about it.Anyway, not to be an ass. I know it's exciting to have a "new" car. Enjoy it. Quote Selected

Im not one for having cars you see everywhere, but you cant have everything all the time without a pile of cash so this will do for now. Quote Selected

Ive been tanted... Reply #8 – June 13, 2012, 12:04:21 AM Not a big Chevy fan, but that is a nice car. Not going to down someone for owning a Chevy. It's not a ricer or a ricer wannabe. That makes it OK in my book. Congrats! Quote Selected

Ive been tanted... Reply #13 – June 14, 2012, 11:40:13 AM DO IIIT! I miss my '02 Trans Am WS6, I had the T56 in it too. LOVE that 6-speed, so solid feeling shift. I plan on buying another one in a few years. I traded my other one for my truck (I needed a 4x4 badly). I like the Firebirds more than the Camaros though. Quote Selected

Every time i look at a t-coupe i get all teary eyed thinking about a coyote powered one. Like you said, auto too. Quote Selected
