1999 WS6 Trans Am, by far my favorite to date

5.7L LS1 V8 cranking out 320 HP

Took it to a track once, my best run out of three yielded a 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds with a quarter mile track time of 12.7 seconds... all stock, no mods.

I had to save money for several months in anticipation of getting new tires and still had to borrow a couple of hundred dollars. the car used the Goodyear Eagle F1 P275/40ZR17 tires which, at the time ran at a cost of about $320+ each after taxes and shop costs were applied... thats over $1,200 to change the freaking tires



probably wasnt the best buying decision ever, expensive car, and every dime i earned at the time went toward it (i was single and working every day).

eventually i sold it on ebay to pay for additional flight training which was needed for a higher rating than i held.

I miss the hell out of that ride.

as i have grown older... i require something more practical

the Nissan Frontier, probably my second favorite vehicle
