1986 Pontiac Trans AM
I bought the car as my first car in 2000 from an elderly woman down the road. Despite how that sounds the car had a really rough life, by the time i bought it, it was a shadow of its former self. Now 8 years later its almost completely rebuilt sporting a 500 horse, fully forged 408ci stroker motor, tk600 5 speed, 3.5" aluminum driveshaft and 9" Ford rear. Power gets to the ground via BFG rubber 335/30/18 in the rear and 245/40/18 in the front, and is stopped by c5 vette brakes up front and ls1 discs on the rear. It rides on coil-overs front and rear, and UMI/Spohn suspension parts hold it all together. I still working on the interior and hope to have it finished soon. Future plans include wider front wheels, 8pt cage, some engine work and a new exhaust.
