1999 Trans Am - M6 - Pewter

$7,000 firm

Located in Simpsonville, SC.

Trying to get a few hundred above pay off for it to be able to afford a DD beater car. I took a paycut to have less stress in my life, as the job I left last November was going to make me have a mental breakdown. I have a great job now that will have me making great money in a few months, but right now I need to cut down on bills to afford to live until then.

Plus I have a 120 mile round trip each day to make it to work, so I need a smaller, more economical car for now.

Details:

86,000 miles

Leather Seats
Neutral Tan interior

The only interior flaws I can think of are a few long cracks in the upper dash pad, which is common on these cars, as everyone knows. On the exterior there are 2 chips in the very bottom of the front bumper.

Also, you have to muscle into gears sometimes, shifting into 3rd every now and then and down shifting from 6th to 5th and 4th to 3rd every now and then. (synchros?) You can see the thread I started about my Monster clutch by clicking on my screenname and clicking on "Find more posts.." If its a clutch component from monster, the clutch is under warranty. Could be synchros, bad clutch install, or faulty clutch components.

I tuned the car myself with HPtuners and an LM2 wideband. I have a street tune on it until I can get it on the dyno for fine tuning timing and such. Since I need the to sell it, that may not happen, unless I get some free time. The car made decent numbers when I first started tuning, though, after I made only a few changes. I have learned a lot tuning my own car. I have not had the car dynoed with all the knowlegde and work I put into the current tune, though. The only dyno charts I have are of the ones with the previous owner's tune and after I got the AFR a little close for streetability and WOT.

Seeing how the AFR runs what is what is commanded, i am sure if I dyno the car, the curve will look even better and the number will be better than when I first started learning how to tune around 2 years ago. (Thanks to the LS1Tech forum, HPTuners Forum, Greg Banish, and lots of other regular members on the HPTuners forum for directly and indirectly helping me with the art of tuning, the learning never ends)

The car is running a Hybrid tune. I have been from an SD tune to MAF only tune, but decided the Hybrid tune was best for this car's setup and for me.

Few pics, more to come, will get interior pics as soon as I can:








The funky lighting near sunset makes the bumper look GOLD, lol:


















Two chips on the bottom of the front bumper:
































Dyno chart from when I first started tuning it:

Cam Card:



My receipts (added as I find them):



Previous owners receipts:















The tune from XXX Motorsports was done when the previous owner had the car. It had drivability issues as a WOT only tune was done when XXX had the car. After I got the car, I put a stock tune in the car and started tuning from scratch.

 

Beautiful car! You never said what the old dyno numbers were and some of us are wondering. Thanks.

 

Gotcha, I posted a chart, don't know if you saw it. I edited it into the original post. I posted the image from the dyno software and I scanned in the print out that has the AFR shown as well.

I have a video of a dyno pull when I had the TSP true duals on the car, I will post it when I find it.

 

damn that is a nice car, gl with sale man that is a give away price

 

Thanks guys!

Here is a video when I first got the car and the tune from XXX Motorsports was still on it, as well of it having TSP true dual exhaust. I miss that exhaust, but the neighbors gave me dirty looks with it, lol.

I guess this video or more to see what the car looks like than anything else, because everything, but the looks, is not valid anymore.

What do you mean by everything but the looks is not valid anymore? You only changed the exhaust and tune.. right?

 

I hope all else is either the same or better and that this thing is still around when I have the money. It will be mine and sporting a ram-air hood!

 

clean looking sleek beak dude, good luck with the sale.

 

Thanks TAtoad!

prokilllsx, what I meant about the "not valid" comment was what you said, it now has exaust running out the back in the form of a Magnaflow Catback, and is a little quieter as well, unlike in the video, where it had the TSP true duals. Yes, the tune as way differnt as well.

I guess not valid was not the correct thing to say.

I have allways wanted a OEM ram air hood, but couldn't justify the cost. One of my firends has a Pewter T/A with the Raptor hood. He got it dirt cheap, it looks sick on his car.

 

so the car now has a more restrictive exhaust and is de-tuned a little since the last dyno?? I wouldn't think the numbers would drop too much but I don't know.
If I buy your car it will be justification for the expense of a new hood for me

 

Trade for a nice DD?? https://ls1tech.com/forums/vehicle-c...supercrew.html

 

The car is not de-tuned. it has a MUCH better tune on it now then the tune in the video. The tune that was on the car in the video was the tune from XXX motorsports, not mine. That video is really old. Soon after that video I bought HP tuners and tuned the car myself.

The dyno sheet that was posted shows what the car put down near the beginning of me tuning the car, it has no relation to that video, that was a whole seperate, dyno pull from a long time ago.

If I dynoed the car now, the numbers should be even better than what is on that dyno sheet. And that is with just street tuning it. And if I can tune the car on a dyno, I would really get all the potential power to the ground and make even better numbers that that, as well as a better curve.

 

Great. Thanks for answering all my questions. I hope to get the money together real soon to buy it from you.

 

Interior and underhood pics please?

 

I am working on that. I can get those posted Saturday. I have to go sell a guitar of mine tonight and tomorrow after work its my firend's wife's birthday party, so I will be in no condition to be near a car, lol.

 

I know you say firm, but would you take 5500? Thats all I can come up with

 

i'd buy it if it wasnt pewter lol

 

Sorry, but I have a payoff amount right under 7,000. I have to have 7,000 in order to be able to afford a beater car.

Thanks for the interest though!

Oh, come on. Pewter is cuter, lol

 

Your pics make me like the pewter better, I'm gonna look at the twin to yours with an auto hopefully this weekend
