Just as the title says. I fell in love with this car when I saw it. What do ya guys think?

Lose the lip and I really like it...even though its not a mustang, ls1 or lt1?

its ok but I don't think the two tone really works with the car. I'd much prefer a stock bodied WS-6/Firehawk.

I like the car, two-toned and all. I think it'd look sick slammed on some chrome American Racing Torque Thrust IIs.

is that white or silver up top, its sort of meh looking. Odd to see one w/o leather or t-tops though. Looks to be in good shape.
Check the condition of the rear brakes, the park brake being up that far means it either needs a new cable or the pads are toast.

My friends that have owned Camaros have all pulled up that far and they had good pads/shoes on the rear. The e brakes are just weak.

i was just basing it off of the 4 different F-bodies I've had in the past. 2 of them it was stretched cables and another the pads.

I like it man, but the majority of people even if they like it won't post here b/c oh my gosh it's something different. Kinda like me getting a Mazdaspeed 6. A stock awd turbo car that can beat a stock mustang and hang or slowly walk away from most modded mustangs. It wasn't a mustang so i didn't get much interest.

That thing is sick.

Now i will tell you the paint scheme looks like something that could grow on me, on the other hand, the interior just ruins it for me (reminds me of my DD cavalier). But at the end of the day its sitting in your driveway and not mine, so tell us what its like to drive an f-body compared to the stang?

the interior isnt going to be as nice as the trans am or firehawk as the formula was kind of like the mustang gts. stripped down of any luxuries and strictly for performance.

I dont care for the lip but other than that i think its a nice looking ride.

The outside of it looks alright, but i hate the interiors in the F-bodies.

Even the top of the line Fbodies interiors don't look much better.

I really like it. I've always liked the exteriors of them, but after driving my buddies T/A a few times, I just grew to despise everything about how they drive. Even though Mustang interiors aren't great, they are much more comfy than those things.

nice! love the transams, not a fan of 2 tone,but that car is hot! never liked the ugly slowmaros but i deff like the ls1 transam ws6 in red

I'll tell you what, I'm a my blood bleeds blue and I will stand by Mustangs until the day I die. But this thing drove so damn smooth. I took a turn doing 70 and just stuck to the road like I was doing 40. It wasn't a sharp turn but it would have been much more difficult in my stang. I really enjoyed test driving it. It's really comfortable and it feels roomier. I don't like the interior as much as the 00-02 because its not ebony black, its more of a gray, but its still nice. I don't mind the cloth seats because lets face it, leather is harder to maintain, plus I wont have to worry about the seats cracking or ripping as much like leather. All in all I'm really excited to get it. It is BONE stock minus a catback and it sounds so nice. I hit 110 before I knew it (luckily the cop I blew by wasnt paying attention lol)
