Is dallas king?

**jiveass** · 03-04-2010, 11:48 AM

A few years ago i was reading FHM or Maxim (cant remember which) and came across a small article basically saying that dallas has more registered trans ams than any other city in the country. Seems like it could be true since i see numerous members from dallas/fort worth on the boards. Anyone else ever heard this?

Ha, maybe that old man is me. I do see more WS6s around the Dallas area. In fact within a 3 block area in my neighborhood there are 4 WS6, 2 including mine are verts.

I believe TX still holds the crown with OK closely behind.

Face it.... our cars are common.... The trick is to hold on the rarest of the breed!!! In my neighborhood alone there is my NBM hawk. on the same block there is a black WS6 TransAm with vette rims. One block down there is a NBM formy with an aftermarket WS6 hood and dubs. Also one block away is a red V6 with aftermarket seats... yuck. One block from the NBM formy is a white V6 that always seems to be in a driveway and one block over from that V6 is another red V6 with a nasty dent behind the drivers door.

Now.... this is a VERY small radius and I live in an area of NY with nothing but private houses.... no apartment buildings near me! Heck... i'm not even the only hawk in the hood!!!!

Now notice if you will that I am only speaking of the 4th gen firebird family.... This says nothing of older examples or camaros!!!!!!! I can't imagine seeing more f-body's on a daily basis. It'd be like everyone had one then.

wow, ive only seen a few like mine in like 4 years, and only three the same color. I thought about moving to Arlington, but the property taxes are insane.

That's because there is no state tax and housing is crazy cheap. You can get some really nice houses for $350K that would be $900K any where else. So they make their money off of property taxes.

more ls1 ta's than lt1 ta's. luckily, i have an lt1 ta. to bad its for sale.

**Colby** · 03-16-2010, 11:55 AM

I am currently stationed in Ft. Lee, Va. but I am from DFW. I bought a 2000WS6 since being in the Army. I will be moving back to DFW area soon, so that just makes on more T/A to add to the list........................................... Oh yeah, I have a cousin who owns the same year model but different color so add another why don't you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the md area im lucky if i see a single v6, let alone WS6/T/A/or Hawk, during my 40 mile commute to work. Oddly enough there is another Hawk, Silver 02, in my home town of Germantown, Md. Small world!

**SandmanWs7** · 03-17-2010, 03:45 PM
