2000 Trans Am--Base Model "Sleek Beak"

[y2k_ta]

2000 Pontiac Trans Am--current mileage 128,326

Build date: 08/01/99 | Purchased 12/08/99 | 61 miles on odometer when purchased.

Pewter Metallic paint/Taupe interior (combo not as common)

Anyone interested in sponsoring my 'bird is encouraged to contact Scott Robinson via pm or email.

You can read about all my modifications here. Right now they're all just bolt-ons.

My future modifications include (but are not limited to): 4,000 stall TCI torque converter [purchased in Parts for Sale forum], Camshaft, UMI Performance LCA Relocation Brackets [purchased via Ryan at UMI], Hillco Fastener Warehouse Engine Dress Up Kit, Oil Catch Can & custom-fabbed bracket, MBA Shift Knob [on order with Thunder Racing], Grand Am Leather Shifter Boot Cover, !wire mod & painted brake calipers [paint kit purchased from Eastwood].

See some old dyno results here & my current drag racing results here. My current best at the 'strip is a 12.996 & 108 mph.

I'd like to get into the low 12's in 2007.....maybe a high 11 if all the pieces fall together. Street tires & the factory 10 bolt will add to that challenge.

This was my first new car. I went shopping for a Z28 after the '88 Camaro Sport Coupe (non-RS...just labeled as "Camaro") I owned at the time started to no longer be reliable after 201,000 miles. I came home with this car. When comparing the styling between the two, the 'bird just really grabbed my attention. Plus, it just happened to be parked right at the entrance to the dealership.....so I can tell you that I never even looked at any Camaros there. Lots more info can be found here.









Lots more pics of my 'bird can be found here.

If you have any questions about my 'bird, please don't hesitate to pm or email me.
