I haven't driven my Trans Am yet this year but I have started it up alot though. I prob won't start driving it till June. I am waiting b/c of the cost of Ins and gas combined. in the meen time this is usually when I do all my upgrades anyway and also typically it rains alot in the month of April and some of may and thats no fun b/c I really like having my t-tops off. so far I just put in an Optima battery, new starter that is able to turn over up to 18.1:1 compression, I rewired my stereo b/c Best buy did a real hack job. for right now I am driving my 82 4 banger bird which is sufficing my needs for now.

Hehe
I just brought mine out about a week ago. It felt as if the day to come out of the garage would never arrive...Of course the weather had been 75 and sunny for about 2 weeks prior to, but naturally once mine comes out it goes back to rainy, cloudy and too cold for t-top removal...
It's nothing special compared to your irocs and z28s but it's still my baby!
