Dannymik Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Well....I plan on keeping my Cutlass, but I'm looking to get a 2nd car that I can mess with. I've kept my eyes open towards the TGP's, but Im not the most mechanically inclined with electrical problems. Therefore I've leaned more towards the '99-'03 GTP's, because of how reliable they are. Also the aftermarket is huge! On my way to work the other day I spotted this '96 Trans Am at a smaller lot. I remember that it had 72K on the clock and they were asking $8K or $8995. Anyways it has the LT1 in her and I've always wanted one of these babies...they sound fucking raw! Only wished she was in black, but the car is used and the white is growing on me. I love this shot Nice wheels...different lugs? What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Those are damn beautiful! If I could afford the insurance, I'd be driving one of those instead of an old sedan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93CutlassSupreme Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 i'd take the trans am over a gtp anyday gtp's are nice, but there's just no comparison to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 as much as people will say that white cars suck, it grows on you, personally i am likeing white more and more every day, it shows off body lines nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannymik Posted May 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 i'd take the trans am over a gtp anyday gtp's are nice, but there's just no comparison to me no doubt...like supreme_style21 said, if you can afford the insurance. I should run a quote on one of these for me...no points and I'm out of the risk pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Nice wheels........that are missing black center caps. Is it a 6 speed? What about that Mustang GT sitting behind it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about that Mustang GT sitting behind it? why would you want a 4.6 Mustang when you could have a 5.7 LT1 Trans Am? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannymik Posted May 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Nice wheels........that are missing black center caps. Is it a 6 speed? What about that Mustang GT sitting behind it? Thats the downfall if this car...its automatic. I've only driven a standard a few times, but I definately would rather have the manual. The Mustang behind it was a 4.6 and the asking price was very high...$13995 I think. With gas prices the way they are right now I could imagine how much the LT1 would suck up...but you only live once and you cant forget the feeling of pure american HP's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 If you can afford the insurance and gas for that beat I say go for it! I'm hoping that in my later 20s I'll have a good enough job to be able to get a Z28 or T/A with t-tops and a 5-speed. They do sound fucking awsome.

95DropTop Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 DON'T buy it....but tell me exactly where this lot is!!! J/K I have a 77 T/A in the driveway with a 455. Needless to say, the convertible is my car of choice these days. I can make the payments with what I save in gas alone! I will post pics of the T/A when I get a chance. If you can afford it, I say go for it. Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornerdealy Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 I'm lookin for a beat up ol' F-body myself. Probably a third gen. I want something relatively cheap and beat up so I can just keep it off the road and restore it over the course of a few years or so.

jeremy Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 the LT1 is nice, but the LS1 is better......hold out for the 6spd, you will thank me later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EurosportZ34 Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 If ya get the T/A I'd really ask why it has different lug nuts...that would make me wonder. But honestly I'd go for the 97+ GTP...a tad less on insurance plus it's a W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannymik Posted May 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 well folks...I drove past there today on my way to work and the TA wasn't there :? .
