The poster is the son of the original owner and really isnt a car guy( at all) . But after looking at it for awhile its one of the cleanest gtas(floor pans) Ive seen and has tons of bolt ons. I had to have it and thats that. What do you guys think of it? http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/cto/1376610221.html

it seems like a nice car, but calling it a callaway gta? hehe that's kinda funny to hear...
didn't know a gta came with recaro seats, either! I believe your right about the guy not knowing his stuff on the car. Rare australian vin for the rear end?
Anywho, despite the facts or fictional statements, congrats! Hope you enjoy your new ride to the fullest...

Oh it was enertaining to discuss the car for a couple of hours to say the least. He really was as nice a guy as they come though, I did enjoy talking to him and lending a hand with some facts. Well its an australin 9 bolt,,,,
THAT WAS A STEAL! Looks great to me.. I mean Supercharged and a Superram right there you could sell for like $2500 easy. I would say you came out way ahead. I bet it is pretty quick.
All that and it looks really clean too. You stole that thing!
Wow that is an awesome pick up man. Good luck with the car.

thanks guys, the under carriage is the cleanest Ive ever seen on a thirdgen, I couldnt believe it. As far as the computer goes there is a white serial port cable coming from behind the dash on the ecu side, dont have a clue what is being used for a ecu to manage everything but its something programable.
this $3800 keeps streching it self out.. its at my friends in Indiana and we did some work on it this weekend and found out some more info..
the serial cable is coming from a Gen6 dfi Accel ecm,, it has brand new 2" drop springs on it,,,the throttle door measure 52mm,, and I decided to clean up the engine bay and tach up some sfc's and here is what I found
I cant believe it has AFR heads on it,,,, I started jumping around like a little school girl( until my fiance called me just that)... Im not sure what size they are but either way Im stoked. She is coming along and will be out next spring
AFR heads are aluminum, those have rust on them as far as i can tell in the pics. I don't know many people who would paint an aluminum head instead of leaving it "as cast"

They are AFR heads and yes someone painted them, the stud girdle really blocks the head but they surely are.
I have no Idea how fast it is, the brake system needs alot so I never ran it wot for more than 2 sec and it was the fastest thing Ive been in....
wow seeing after seeing the pic with the wheels off makes me realize how puny our 3rdgen brake system is! Heck i see larger brake rotors on a 96 and up ford taurus! Newer luminas and up had aluminum calipers!....it's no wonder our stopping power to these 3,500lb machines are bad....and no Tim i am not changing my stock set up to a 4th gen one...let alone a 1LE...

thats funny you say that, Ive got a 10 bolt pbr setup with 12" baer rotors going on back and picking up a 12" LS1 conversion for the fronts on sunday. Should be a big difference
No sorry, thats actually my first Trans Am ever. My friend bought it after I threw @3k into it and failed emissions......then he dumped another 4k into it and its been sitting for 10 years..... I cant wait to tell him someone asked if it was being parted out...
Just went to have it titled today and it turns out the title is no good. He said he was selling it for his dad( whos name is on the title) and when I went to the dmv they said the car is titled in his name. He texted me hell call tonight @ 6. Anybody have any idea want this could mean leagally? ie he can take the car back and just repay me my $. Or do I have any kind of legal right to the car?

You must change your brakes!
New brakes will make such an amazing difference in your car.

I'd contact the DMV asap. Bring your bill of sale (I hope you had one made out and signed).
Finally got it back from Indiana, LS1 brake swap is done,,, had to add a comp vacuum canister just to get the brakes to work well enough to drive it home. title issues are resolved and I cant wait for next spring.
thanks.... once the 10 bolt is in itll be 12" cross drilled/slotted all the way around..... should stop decently once I get the vacuum pump or hydraboost installed to take care of the low vacuum situation..
