June Car of the Month

//<86TA>\\'s 1986 Trans Am

Name: Philip Olsen
About the car: The car is a 1986 Pontiac Trans Am. Came from the factory with the 305ci/4bbl engine and 700r4 trans. It has a gray interior and is painted the original red with striping on the 4" cowl hood and across the tail. The car was stripped and repainted in 2004 and begun its transformation.

It's now powered by a 408ci stroker motor built by T&L Engine Development in NC, a Tremec TKO600 5 speed trans, and a Moser 9" rear. The car rides on coil-overs front and rear, Hotchkis sway bars, and suspension components from UMI, Spohn and Alston racing. Wheels by Centerline, 18x8 front and 18x12 rear on BFG rubber. And its all stopped by 13" C5 z06 brakes in the front and 12" 4th gen Camaro rear disc brakes.

It has 3rd gen leather seats, a custom widened rear interior to accommodate the mini-tub. I drive the car whenever I can, usually when its not in pieces in the garage. Plenty more mods than I can list. Oh, and did I mention its fast?
