February Car of the Month

98tadriver's 1998 Pontiac Trans Am

Name: Ron
About the car: I was happy with my 15 second 1989 Camaro, but I wanted to step it up a couple of notches. I had planned on buying a fourth generation LS1 car for over a year and was set on getting one by the spring of 2005.

I bought my 1998 Trans Am M6 from a private owner in Central NJ, about one and a half hours North of me. A good friend of mine let me use his truck and trailer to bring it home. This was the first car I owned that I actually had some respect for, especially after driving my third generation Camaro around for a year.

Here it is, almost 3 full years later, and i still have it. I have had many fun times with it, including many days at the drag strip. With only bolt on modifications, I managed to run a best of 11.96 at over 113 mph in the 1/4 mile. I have taken a step back from drag racing with this car for now, as I am concentrating on another project car.

A special thanks to everyone who voted for me! Thanks for your support!
