Talk me out of getting a Trans Am...

It wasn't a popular color, just like SOM isn't a popular color either. Who knows, one day this car might be a rare collectors item. :biggrin: Last year WS6 with SOM exterior and beige/black interior. ()🙂

I will definitely be checking the car over top to bottom. Bringing a scanner with me to make sure the codes are only for the O2 sensor, and any other emissions issue that can be taken care of at New Era. Otherwise, it looks like this car will be in my driveway next weekend. :thumbsup:

Oh, and I found this thread when researching to make sure the guy was legit. They seem to like the car, so that gives me more hope that it is a decent car.

Interesting, I've seen the SOM before, just never an interior like that. My 99 WS6 was just black with the charcoal interior, don't think it get's any more common lol.

Anyway, looks like it's clean like he used decent parts for mods so hope it all goes well! Is it not tuned though? I ask only because you said it's throwing codes because of the O2's, but usually that's taken care of in the tune. That and you're leaving a lot of power on the table with those mods and no tune.
 
No tune, and I might cam it this winter so I don't want to get one before that. When I was talking to the guy at New Era he told me if I plan to cam it this winter, just wait to dyno-tune it after that's done. I don't plan on winning any races with it just yet, just my daily fun toy that I can take to the local car meets.
