Just couldnt do it..
Hey guys,
Recently I posted a thread asking if I could get 10k for my trans am. After only having the car posted for 2 weeks I have received multiple phone calls and texts asking about the car.. I wont list every offer because there is atleast 10 but today I got 2 very serious offers including an 01 and 03 gsxr750 both bikes for my car and I also I had a guy who wanted to drive 2 hours just to look at the car and buy it for 9500
The original idea was to get a feel for what my car was worth and maybe sell the car to get me a bike and a truck. After a long time thinking about it I decided I just dont have the heart to get rid of my car. I have spent too much money and time to have this car and nothing quite felt right. I will have my car paid off by this fall and I may finance a bike then but until then for all those who posted, I was more then likely able to get close to what I wanted but I just dont have the heart to sell my car not without upgrading to a much faster fbody

Mine will get sold when I find a Firhawk M6 loaded or a SOM WS6 other than that my trailblazer, TA, and 5.o vert are all payed off so I am now trying to find a nice SS or I could use a pickup for my shop and those Viper trucks look better evert time I see a blk reg cab 6spd might even settle for a quad with a auto if the price was right. I had a 05 Ram Blk Rumble BEE and it came with some bolt ons and a chip and it had some go to it. Faster than my 5.0 vert with it's same bolt ons and probably would have given my TA a good run when it was stock.
1998 Trans Am 85k miles.

Eft out one important car I would sell the 5.0 and TA for an 08 C6 after having a yellow hertz vette for a week in FL I started to love it, and I was never a C5 fan. I like the 63 split windows and old vettes but the only other 1 I liked was the C4 ZR1 since they are rare and a great car for it's time. New ZR1's are nice but I rather buy a viper, and a 2010 SS. Maybe a fleet of f bodys like a 89, 94, and 99 aniversary editions along with a blackbird, firehawk, and a 02 camaro Ss with the CME exhaust or a Berger edition. May even have some money left to buy land and a garage for all of them.

Thanks guys, I think I made the right decision too. I actually just sold my 5.0 86 trans am to my dad and now I got 2k to play around with. When I was planning to sell my t/a I didnt want to spend anymore money on it but now that I think im going to keep it I need a buff and wax, lt headers, tune by frost, and maybe even a tint and I will be happy to drive this car to the ground lol

Oh and maybe 373 rear end.. do you guys think a switch like that would be fine gas mileage wise and with the stock rear end?

You absolutely made the right decision. I had a 98 TA and when I sold it, I immediately regretted it. I plan on being buried in my 02 WS6!

hmm how much does it cost to reinforce our stock rear ends? I know new rear ends get very expensive
