Hello All, I haven’t visited this site in some time b/c other stuff has taken over my life, and really don’t have time to check all of the forums i’m a member of…
For Sale: 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 building/completing the twin turbo kit while still leaving this car 100% street legal.
The car itself has right about 77,0xx miles on it - but the engine, turbo kit, clutch, rear end, etc all have less than 2,300 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! There’s no point in skimping a few bucks here and there if it means preserving such an awesome machine! Not to mention, the very best products must be used to handle this kind of power!
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 forged LS1 motor (348ci) that was built to handle far more horsepower than the car is currently pumping out. I had it tuned so conservative because I want the engine to last MANY years into the future, and planned to drive the car on every nice day! Unfortunately, work took over my life, and that’s the reason the car didn’t get many miles on it. Also, as long as you’re not planting your foot to the floor, this baby will save you some gas money - it gets approximately 30-32mpg on the highway, and will do well in the city as well.
Below is a list of the modifications 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% street legal monster!! 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.
Vid1 - The car at idle - sounds extremely healthy and the cam gives a nice lope! [ame=“http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5278094488109951877&hl=en”]TT T/A Idle[/ame]
Vid2 - A few small revs - the turbos make themselves well known, especially driving down the road [ame=“http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1278345050941263549&hl=en”]TT T/A Rev[/ame]
