9k huh???
you could have gotten a 98+ z for that much.
and hitting tress while trying to sell a car is probably the best way to sell one. id think at least.

nice car anyways.

well i looked at a 98 Z28 but it had 98000 miles. so yeah, 9k would get me an LS1, but with lotsa miles, the point of getting a new one was to avoid that.

and yeah that guy felt really stupid and kept swearing at himself and thought the damage was really bad and probably thought he'd never sell it now...i kinda took advantage of him

I understand that, I had a guy trying to sell me his '98 Z28 for $10,000 when I was looking for mine but it had just under 100,000 miles. Plus it was modified with a cam, clutch, gears, etc... and I don't buy cars that have already been modified because you never know who did the work and if they did a good job. So I bought my Z28 with 42,000 for $12,000.

yeah im seeing that more and more with the LS1's, really high mileage but still a high price. i see some on cz28 for pretty good prices but no where near me. ive been looking at the z's with the ls1's but i love the SS hood so very much. and im thinking if i do get an ss ill get the zl1 wing.

cool deal. i bought both my LT1s from the same guy. now i know he beats on the cars but i didnt have a lick of trouble with the yellow Z so i said what the hell right. its just a chance u take. my camaro had 120k on it and the WS6 has 97k. many people run LT1s right past 150k and are fine so thats why im not worried. plus i got a helluva deal on the WS6 and ill make money prolly in the end. you got anything planned to do yourself for the T/A Caleb or you just gonna leave it?

well first im going to get that bumper fixed...im gonna just get some aftermarket OE parts and have a shop paint em then install em myself. the clutch feels like its starting to slip when i get on it, which i didnt notice while leisurely test driving it wednesday, so i think i'll look at doing a stage 2 or 3 clutch...

then as far as appearance, its a TA, what more does it need? im considering either blacking out the corners or getting clears. then either the honeycomb taillights or blacking out what i got now. then the side Trans Am emblems i might either do in red or if i can find it chrome. and the rear letters either red or chrome. cant decide.

these wheels are fine, i love em, so i might just get the 17" chromes in this design. hood is fine too, if i do upgrade it just a ws6 hood. i like the one for this year. then tint the windows, replace this weak system, and then prolly LTs and an intake. nothing special.

we have almost same ideas.lol. im satisfied for looks, only thing i want is clear corners and a matching hood color. im working out a deal for full exhaust with Long tubes and mail order tune, then tires and a clutch. i think the WS6 hood is pertty much the only good choice for LT1 T/A's. either way it looks good. have fun and dont waste all your money on stupid crap
