    Newbie here

    First off hello to everyone and I am glad to be a new ls1 owner. I am from Auburn Georgia, which is on the northeast side of Atlanta towards Athens GA. I purchased my first Trans AM or any GM product for that matter. I have always owned mustangs and have always loved Trans Am's so here I am. I took a chance on purchasing a modded car, hopefully I will not get burned with issues. I think I got a decent deal. The mods are as follows:

    Mild cam 220/220
    Comp valve springs
    hardened push rods
    whisper lid
    ram air mod
    tuned by vengeance racing
    long tube headers
    gmmg exhaust
    yank ss 3600 stall
    aluminum drive shaft
    3:73 gears
    and some suspension work

    Everything was done by Vengeance racing and it dynoed at 345rwhp and 380rwtq. I was able to verify that the engine has around 31000 miles and the transmission and rear end has around 15000 miles on the car. I have always owned manual cars but this automatic is nice. I also will not have to worry about the clutch if the wife has to drive it for some reason. The car does have some issues, such as power windows, headlight motors and alternator that I will be asking or researching about on here so sorry in advance for any stupid questions. Thanks in advance for any help I will receive.
    Chris

    Welcome! And love that rare color. You have a lot of mods done to the car that people are asking, "What do I do next?" so be glad about that.

    As far as the other issues your car has, they are mostly simple, low $$$ repairs, if you can do them yourself (you can).
