Love of my life. 2000 T/A
 

I always wanted one of these since they came out in 98. I was finally able to swap some junk for this one. Body only has 72K on it but has had around 6 engines including a stroker ls1, ls2, lq4 etc. 9in rear end, and 400th trans. All before I got it. It now has a worn out ls1 and 4l60e out of a 2000 z28 hwy patrol car. and a junk yard ls1 rear end. BONE stock motor never had the valve covers off and rattles like hell. It has a 3200 stall, hooker super comp ceramic headers, and flowmaster cat back. slp air lid. tuned etc. With 3:23 gears.. With drag radials, best time I was able to get out of it was 7.83 in the 8th. Which is awesome out of a stock motor with no power adder! I picked this 6.0 up i want to swap in eventually after a freshin up and some upgrades. I JUST bought these racestar industries dragstars. I love these wheels. Its the only 15in rim that will clear factory brakes front and rear without any spacers or grinding on the calipers. Mickey Thompson 29s on the rear. Car still gets mid 20 mpg haha. I just installed the wheels and tires last week sorry no pics yet. I will get some new good quality non cell pics if anyone seems interested in this thread., I LOVE THE WAY IT LOOKS. I plan on getting it a VFN 4in raised sloped hood after the first of the year if I can afford it. And I would like to give the car a repaint. The previous owner removed all of the under hood a/c and brackets. I purchased all of this used from a low mileage wrecked in the rear 2002 ws6 convertible. I plan on installing all the a/c, installing the 6.0 and build the transmission all at the same time. The rear end thats in the car is really the wrong one for the car. My car has 4 channel ABS and this rear is from a car with only 3 channel. So it only has one speed sensor in the middle instead of one at each wheel. I got the right rear end the other day and a set of 3:73 Richmond gears to install in it. My car is tuned to have 3:73s and the converter is set up for them as well. With the new taller tires I can tell I REALLY need the gear as the car lugs now. SO if any interest shows in this thread I will follow along as I re-gear the new rear end and install it. As well as fix some things on the rear suspension the previous owner messed up.

I wanted a 'bird since 98 when the new body style came out as well. Took me till '06 to get one, but it was worth it. Ive had my 2000 v6 for 4 years, and near 50k trouble free miles. Enjoy it :thumbs:

Let me know if you need any parts, I love the F-bods!
I just picked up another 95Z28 to make a drag car out of...
I have had a 94 with 355 LT1 on 100 shot went 7.2s in the 1/8th and then had a 97 that was just a bolt on LT1 that went 11.8s in the 1/4 and later transplanted a stock LS1 and it was 7.33s all day long in the 1/8th mile.
I plan on putting a 6.0 in the 95 next year (2011).

Let me know if I can help you out!!

Weather was nice, I gave it a bath and drove it to work today.... man I love this car...... Getting ready to freshin up the drivetrain , change gears, and put a/c back on it. Snapped a few pics.

Re: Love of my life. 2000 T/A
 

Looks great! I love my f-body as well and have always wanted a T/A, ended up with a Camaro, but still happy! ;)

Re: Love of my life. 2000 T/A
 

Well I got a twin... Traded a ranger and a few bux for it.. Transmission was tore up but came with another low milage one. Swapped it out last friday. Its hauls balls too.. I love LS1 cars... Here are some pics of the new one. Its a little rougher then my first one. Its one year older and has dark grey interior instead of black.. Still not a bad car. I will make it RIGHT!

Re: Love of my life. 2000 T/A
 

your fbody nuts i'd say. They are great cars, love mine.

Re: Love of my life. 2000 T/A
 

Nice cars, if you want to get rid of those ZR1's let me know. They would look great on my '97.....

Re: Love of my life. 2000 T/A
 

I MAY, they have new tires.. They ARE coming off this car tho. They look wrong on there. I think I may put them on my wifes 95 z28 I am no sure yet.

Re: Love of my life. 2000 T/A
 

Cool, keep me in mind if you do. Mine curretly has the normal 99+ camaro 16" painted five stars on it.

What happened to the speedline rims from your first one?

Re: Love of my life. 2000 T/A
 

the speedlines are going on the 99 in place of the vette wheels. I also have two sets of the 16in 99+ camaro wheels I use as rollers too.
