    2001 Pontiac Trans Am - built Twin Turbo LS1

    Yes, I am putting my baby up for sale :( .... its a 2001 Pontiac Trans Am. This car is absolutely awesome. It has impressed/awe'd EVERY single person that has ever been in it. I spent over a year and a half building/completing the twin turbo kit while still leaving this car 100% street legal. I'm asking 23,900 OBO, which means I'm not getting back even close to half of what I have put into it - I thought I'd never sell, but I have other aspirations in life now.

    The car itself has just over 74,000 miles on it - but the engine, turbo kit, clutch, rear end, etc all have less than 1,200 miles on them. The black leather interior is in incredible condition and the black exterior is amazing as well.

    The car is meticulously maintained. Only the very top end oils and lubricants have been used in this car!

    The car made 698hp and 706tq to the rear wheels on 93 octane PUMP GAS. All that while on an extremely conservative 13.5psi, 11.0:1 A/F ratio, 12* of WOT timing, spraying 50/50 meth/water. The engine is a fully forged LS1 motor (348ci) that was built to handle far more horsepower than the car is currently pumping out. I had it tuned soo conservative because I didn't want to take the chance of a misfortunate bad tank of gas or something!

    Its hard to describe in words just how awesome this car is - you have to see/feel it to believe it. It looks absolutely amazing, and runs TOP NOTCH! Traction? guys with 200rwhp less complain about not being able to get traction, but this car puts all 700rwhp to the ground - its quite a feeling. I have no traction issues at all, as long as the temperature is above 60* outside - not even in first gear.

    Below is a list of the mods done to the car. There may be some missing, but I think this pretty well details just how well built this car was and how no expense was spared to make this a reliable, and 100% streetable monster!! If you want to rule the streets, this is your car! If you have ANY questions whatsoever, please feel free to ask. I have lots of pictures and also have added a couple videos. Serious inquiries will include a response with my phone number to discuss anything you may want to know.

    The car at idle - sounds extremely healthy and the cam gives a nice lope!

    A few small revs - the turbos make themselves well known, especially driving down the road

    Asking 23,900 OBO. Trades will be considered, but trade + cash must be of equivalent value to what I'm willing to accept. I have lots of pics, but my laptop crashed 2 days ago and I don't have access to Photobucket here at work. So here are a few that I have on fquick

    Oh no! The Dark side is calling me! It said...sell the Cobra and come back home.

    Guys this car is a monster! I was heading up 79 and this thing blew past me like I was driving a Neon or something. I hate to see him sell it and I hope it goes to a good home with some one that will respect the power it has.

    I'm selling because I just have too much going on and don't get to enjoy it enough. Like the ad says, I only have 1,200 miles +/- on the car. It doesn't just sit around and rot.. I drive it probably once a week, but it'll usually be to go to dinner with my g/f in Robinson or something - which is a whopping 20 mins away. So that's why it doesnt' get many miles. I always said that no matter what car I had, i'd drive it A LOT, which is why i made this thing 100% street legal - i expected to drive it a lot. But with my job, professional exams, and other things going on, I just don't have all the time I used to have. :(

    Plus, i'm in the market to buy a home, and even though i can afford both, it would be nice to have that extra money in my pocket each month, instead of putting it into something that doesnt leave the garage more than once or twice a week.

    I saw that - thanks, but the location would be a crazy long commute to work for me and i'm really not wanting a split-entry. Thanks though!

    bump....

    I'm leaving in 30 mins and will be gone for the weekend. If you would like to discuss anything with the car, please PM 2001GTTT and get my phone number off of him.

    Clark, do you mind giving out my # to anyone who is interested? I just don't want to post it on the wide open Inter-wide-web.

    Thanks !
