I finally got one!!

**LIGHTNINGMCQUEEN** · 03-18-2008, 04:31 PM

I just bought a 1999 Trans Am black on black automatic!!! 66,000 miles
As soon as i get some pics im gonna put them up!!

By the way i have a question....When i drive it the steering isnt as easy as any other car ive driven. Its a little harder than regular cars now im wondering is that normal because of what it is (being a heavy duty muscle car that is)? or does this sound like a possible problem? I checked the power steering liquid and all is well so i went under the car. I didnt see anything wrong the only thing i saw was one of the rack and pinion steering boots has what seems to be a darker stain maybe a grease stain kinda? but i dont see anything leaking out of it. Any help or comments would be appreciated!!

Thanks guys! and im happy to be the owner of a TRANS AM!!! finally!

Welcome! You've been caught for life now haha. But as for the steering, nothing to worry about. Its the sports car feel, its pretty much due to the wide tires up front.

Enjoy!! That stiff steering is NICE. I have a Thunderbird and it's steering is twitchy and sensitive - the WS6 feels much nicer and more control. You've got yourself a nice car, take care of her!

Thanks!!! Man ive been doing my research for a while on the car and looking for the right one. Ive wanted the Trans Am for long time now but was not able to get one due to financial situacions. I cant believe i already have it in my driveway just the way i wanted it Black on Black T-top automatic Ram Air hood!...Trust me as soon as i get some pics im putting them up!
Thanks again for the welcome guys.....THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Nice ride, most of all since this is your first T/A be responsable with the raw power especially if your not used to it.

Raw power is right..i dont think ive ever owned a car so powerful...I will be responsible though...thanks!

By the way how do you guys clean your engine bays? Theres alot of wiring that i dont want to get any water on....but i do want to clean it though, so any tips or suggestions are appreciated!

I stick a trash bag over my dual cone filters, and just use soap and water and a foam mesh sponge and brush and clean her up. Then I dry it all off with a microfiber towel or terry towels (what I can get to).

Congrats and beautiful car!!! My friends ws6 had power steering pump issues as well. I know these cars have much better, stiffer steering, but his was f/d up. His resevoir was full, but it wasn't pumping, and he changed it out and it works just fine now! It's kinda a pain in he ass and you need a puller t get the pulley off, but well worth it!

And raw power wise, I loved takin all of my friends for rides when I first got it. Trans Am - $14,000 dollars, gas to drive it home - $75 dollars, watching your passengers head almost get snapped off because of the torque - PRICELESS!!!

Best of luck to you!!!
