We'll, I've decided that its time to finish an old project and I need to sell my 99 Trans Am in order to do so. I run a garage in Mount Airy NC called Tick Performance. I absolutely love this car, but I could use the money to get out of debt as well as finish up our 68 camaro that we've been working on for a while. The car has gone a best of 9.73 @ 134 mph in the 1/4 at Rockingham dragway. This was done on 93 octane pump gas, 325 MT drag radials, and naturally aspirated. The best 60 ft. to date has been a 1.26 however the norm is 1.29-1.31. Heres a rundown of what has been done to the car, I'm sure I'll leave a lot out so anyone that may be interested please post up any questions or shoot me a pm.

Car dynoed 551 rwph, 440 rwtq through the mufflers and stall unlocked. I can only guess what it would make through a 6 speed, but it would be atleast a 100 hp gain. When tuning on the dyno, the software wouldn't even pick up the signal until around 5800 rpms due to the loose stall.

as it stands, the car weighs 3350 with me in it so that would make the car itself weight about 3180. It still has the factory brakes all around, the factory rack, and the factory master cylinder/booster. There is another 100 lbs easily that could be removed.
Basically the interior looks completely stock with exception of the cage and no rear seat and no radio. Everything is very clean, seats are in excellent condition, the dash looks factory, and theres a nice delete plate covering the hole that once housed the radio. The paint on the outside is all original with exception of the rear bumper, which is now a formula style cover. This happened after a little mishap when the original stock bottom end let go.
Right now the only things that the car really needs is for the hood to be painted (it has never been painted) and the speedo needs to be wired to one of the front wheel sensors. It was run at Rockingham just a couple of weeks ago for the Pinks All Out event and went a 10.02 @134 on the bumper with a 1.42 sixty foot on the rear tires:
We also ran the car at Englishtown last October for the GMHTP shootout where it ran a 9.83 and was the quickest N/A car there that day. That was the first track outing ever with the current engine. That article should be in the next issue to hit the stands.
As it stands, the odometer shows somewhere around 76,000 I believe, however the actual mileage is probably somewhere around 80,000.
I have invested over $50,000 easily into this car, and that is parts alone. All the work was done by my father and I with exception of the engine which was purchased on here from DAPSUPRSLO. It was originally built for him by Eric Koenig / Horse Power Engineering. The engine alone would cost around $18k to duplicate, and it has less than 50 passes on it and probably around 1,000 street miles. The car can be seen at our shop at anytime, and driven around the block. I have most of the parts that were removed, and will include them with the car including the rear seats.
Heres a video of the pass at Rockingham:
and another 1/8 mile pass, 6.14 @ 110 mph:
I'm asking $30,000 OBO-Serious offer only please.
