2002 Trans Am WS6 6 speed, i bought it back in 2007. It took about 6 months to find the exact one i wanted because i wanted it fully loaded t-tops and a 6 speed, finally i found it online at a Honda dealership in North Plainfield. Went up there that night sat in it drove it around the lot and bought it with only 43,000 miles. The car was pretty much totaled 3 weeks after i bought it but thanks to Allstate they fixed it, mainly because it was cosmetic damage and replaceable parts no frame damage. $14,000 total for the repair but thankfully only had to pay the $1000 deductible.

All body work and paintwork done to this car i had a hand in because i worked at the shop at the time. I have a lot of plans for the car and i hope to start really working on it this summer. This is the car i've always wanted so the fact that after the accident i got to work on it and get it back made this car worth soo much more to me.

The only mods i have done are SLP Air lid with K&N Filter and SLP Loud Mouth II Cat Back Exhaust.

2000 Trans Am 6spd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I finally bought the Trans Am of my dreams. This is the exact car I've been wanting for over two years (00' black trans am, ebony interior, 6spd, 55k miles) and by working hard and saving even harder I finally had the money to purchase one (which is reason why JSFBOA refers to me as "Chilis" due to being a waiter under its establishment). I have big plans for this car, and little by little it'll get there. I started it off with a few simple bolt ons: Pacesetter LT Ceramic headers, TSP catted y, SLP LM2 catback, !EGR, !AIR, SLP airlid, port and polished MAF and TB. Next up...WS9 hood and front then on we shall see.

- as compelling as that story is lol I would be surprised if I was voted for car of the month, because the picture is just something I had on the side. If I don't make it this month I will in the next two months.

2002 Z28 6 Speed the only new car that I have owned.

In November of 2002 I was driving my 1995 Z28 and wanted to trade it in on a 2002 Z28 since I knew it was my last chance so I went to see my fathers friend who was sales manager for Boonton Chevrolet. He could not get me much for a trade in on my 1995 Z28 and I could not afford the payments. GM offered 0% financing on all new vehicals and the promotion lasted thru thanksgiving weekend. The saturday after thanksgiving I was driving home from upstate NY in my 1995 Z28 and saw about a 4 car pileup happening right in front of me. One van came across the lanes hit my passenger side fender and shot me into the divider at about 60mph from there my camaro spun back across two lanes into a ditch. I kicked out the window glass to get out and noticed that the airbag burnt a hole in my favorite shirt. I remember being pretty upset about the shirt then I noticed blood dripping on it, turns out my nose was bleeding and my wrist was starting to swell up. Two ambulances showed up but there were many people hurt, 7 cars all together including the reamins of my camaro. As I was standing there I heard someone calling my name, it was a guy I played juniors with that just happend to be stuck in the traffic, he pulled over to see if I was ok. The police officer wanted to know why he stoped, I told officer that he was a buddy of mine, the officer suggested that he bring me to the hospital because they were waiting on more ambulances at the time and he didnt know how long it would take for me to get medical attention. I grabbed a bandage and an ice pack and jumped into my buddys car. He asked me which hospital I wanted to go to, Hoping my insurance would give me more than what I would have gotten on a trade in I said there is only a few more hours of 0% financing on new GM vehicals, please drive me to Boonton Chevrolet. I went there and tried to order my 2002 Z28 with a burnt bloody shirt and a sprained wrist, they told me I had to slect from dealer stock to get 0%, they only had two LS1 camaros, one was black with cloth interior and on the showroom floor the other was an Auto. I asked if they would do a car swap so I could get the color and options I wanted, they found exactly what I wanted in Allentown PA, they swaped for it and I had it that monday. My insurance gave me 10,200 for my 1995 Z28 which was way better than the 6,000 they offered me on a trade in. My 2002 stays warm in my garage and only sees nice days. It has Kooks long tubes, mangaflow low restriction cats, B&B triflow cat back. SLP Lid & Bellows, 243 Heads Thunder racing TR230 cam, AAM 4:10 gears, Z06 clutch, PCM tune, 180 thermostat, 98 camaro chrome wheels, 95 camaro tail lights, clear markers, Black UMI 3 point sub frame connectors, Lower Control Arms & Torque arm. It has 32,000 miles and absolutly no scratches or inperfections.

1989 Camaro IROC-Z 305 TPI

I purchased this car in December of 2006 with 77,000mi. Since then its undergone numerous adjustments to restore it to OEM specifications. The car was finally repainted in May of 2009. The odometer now reads 87,000 mi so its barely been drivin within the three years of owning it. Its garage kept and maintained frequently. I was a young buck that was crazy about Camaros when I first got involved with the vehicle, and three years later Camaro, and Chevy performance is still burning inside!

1999 Camaro Z28 M6

I purchased the car in January of 08 with 170K miles on it. It was stock at the time and I have made it pretty much a full bolt-on car along with UMI suspension components. I have done all of the work myself. The car was dynoed at 334 rwhp/339rwtq back in July 08 at TTP. I have since done a few more mods and would say the car is pushing 340rwhp/350rwtq now. The car has gone mid 12's at Atco. Growing up, my dad had a 68 Camaro running 10's at E-town and many other f-bodies. Unfortunately, in 07 he had a medical mishap and had to sell his 2000 Trans am because he is now paralyzed from the waste down. I bought this car and put all of my sweat and hard earned money into it to keep the f-body tradition in my family. Future plans include breaking into the 11's by the end of the Summer.

2000 Trans Am WS6 M6
I bought this car last year in the beginning of May after working and saving up money for one. I bought the car with 88,000 miles on it and drove down to Virginia Beach to pick it up. Since then i have added full bolt ons along with some exterior mods. Just recently finished up full suspension and plan to do auto x/road racing. The car is my daily summer and winter and now has 111,500 miles.
