1998 Trans Am WS6 and Mullet Newds (Finally a reason to click on my thread)

Making them both fun and good for equaling out when you get into it. I like the fact that the TA in 6th will get 34mpg highway. Where the GT has a hard time getting 24mpg.

By far the Cobra is a superior car. But that should be said about the evolution of any sports car 15 years later. Show the stats of a 98 Cobra and a 98 WS6 and they are not even in the same ballpark. I love the cobra, but the F-body TA still does not look dated, which says a lot for the design.

All in all, like Sam said, fun per dollar he has you beat. Raw power, you have, but at a price. I could take s '95 Chevy Caviler and build it to more power than the GT500 for 1/2 the cost. Problem is, its still a Caviler. You have a nice GT, in hands down the best color. What I am getting at, is to each his own. I want to take my next 70's TA build and drop in the brand new DI LT1. Not too many people have my goal, but that is what makes it fun.

You are the man! I will definitely be picking one up.

Seriously... wtf does high beams have to do with safety anyway?! High beams are not required to be used anywhere. As long as both head lights/tail lights are working it shouldn't matter. What a ****.

I got my inspection passed and my temp tags. The guys parked mine next to red F-body camaro that was for sale. There were people looking at the camaro when I walked to my car and asked if mine was for sale. I laughed, got in the car and left. Have to love the attention this car gets. I should probably add some sort security for the car. The m6 is pretty good security, but I want better since she isn't in a garage.

Yeah a USP 45 would be great protection, but I'm not always next to it.

I find it hilarious that having a manual transmission can be considered as an anti-theft device.

It's pretty sad that it is. But I can take the car to the ghetto and leave it running and I bet that not a single hood rat would be able to move it.

i was gonna say that would be funny. your shit on block still running.

pretty sure there's an easy way to get around those but the hood rats probably already know that.

[[ChaosweaveR]]

Hood rats wouldn't want those wheels. They aren't big enough.

I've been in some ghetto ass neighborhoods, they'll want the biggest, ugliest, gaudiest chrome wheels on anything. They'd look inside and see the six speed and won't touch it.
