To better understand and for pics:

http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=261538

So i went and checked out the TransAm, I was amazed with the condition; better than in pictures I must say. There were only 3 things wrong with it

a) broken left mirror - still functional but he had the replacement mirror in the trunk which he of course included, i just have to paint match and put it on.

b)the left midbass doesnt work - who cares? it's going to be ripped apart anyway along with the rest of the "moonsoon" system //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

c)going into reverse - it's a BIT hard to but into reverse, i believe it is just a spring from going to R that I need to checkout.

It's a 6 speed and has the WS6 package- just got to 43k miles. New tires with receipts and all maintinance records. It even came with Lojack //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I am one happy guy especially since it's my birthday tommorrow //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif great present to myself.

I do have a question about the steering wheel however; the steering wheel controls the volume, seek, am/fm, mute and play buttons. When I put an aftermarket deck in there; how easy or is it even possible to keep those controls functional?

Also, anyone see or know how hard it is to fit a double din in that bish?

Very sweet ride! I test drove a Camaro SS and a TA WS6 on the same day a long time ago. Same engine and 6spd ****** setup, but I really liked the TA better, it just looks so much more aggressive, imo. 30mpg hwy is a huge bonus, too.

Happy birthday to you indeed!

I will def. look into that for sure.

mods? i am going to have to look at my financial situation first with school and the car now(had to finance 4k) and see what from there. I probably will not mod till feb-march time and really go nuts during summer time on it. No more buying car audio on credit for me.

its pretty dam close to that also. Friend has a Z and if he doesnt get on it its really close to 26 on highway. City is a little worse, but still up near 20. Couldnt believe it when he told me that..
