About
This is me and my husbands pride and joy. We bought this car in Clarksville, TN in May of 2003. It only had a little over 3,000 miles on it, but it had been wrecked, but not to bad. you couldn't tell by looking at it. Anyways it now has over 49,000 miles on it and me and my husband have enjoyed every minute of it. We have been taking it to shows since 2005, and the occasional run down the Bristol, TN dragstrip. (Thunder Valley). Right now my best run is a 14.03, but I know I can get in the 13's if I can just get out of the hole quicker. We have also been working on redoing the interior, I didn't like the tan, so I wanted it redone in red and black. and now dragon bird has a whole new look, since her wreck in ohio destroyed her body, she needed a new one. enter the black 2001 WS6 trans am. my husband already has the interior and the SLP cold air induction from the '99 in it, we're now just waiting for a break in the rain to finish switching everything over. so now she is technically my 99/01 trans am
Specs
Body style:F-body, HP 325 at engine (the black "01), engine size: 350c.i. LS1 w/ six speed manual transmission, 1/4 mile time: 14.03 sec. at 102.25mph (this time was in the white T/A and she has 305 hp with 298 at rear wheel) , top speed 155mph
Factory Options
WS6 package, T-Tops, convertable, 4spd auto, 6 speed manual, 16 in. chrome rims, 16 in. aluminum rims, or 17in. aluminum rims (w/ WS6 package), beefed up suspension (w/ WS6package) monsoon stereo system w/ cd player, cd changer (can't remember how many discs off top of my head), and the best option is the SLP perfomance package which for my model year car offered 330 hp. My T/A used to be a base T/A but now with her new body she is a true WS6 ram air :) it came with T-Tops, 6 speed manual, 16 in. chrome rims (the chrome rims was from the 99' she now has 17" aluminum wheels), power-doorlocks and windows, power driver and passenger front seats w/lumbar support, and monsoon stereo system w/ cd player ( put the monsoon speakers from the '99 to the '01 but the '01 has a panasonic cd player so my hubby just hooked the monsoons up to it)
Mods
flowmaster exhaust kit, SLP cold air induction kit, K&N air filter, red wire mold under hood, custom paint job (arctic white w/ a hint of pearl, and silver metal flake) with airbrushed dragons on doors and airbrushed firebird on hood, (of course this is no longer the paint scheme, but since i'm not going to take the pics off of here from dragonbird's original look, i thought it would be nice to keep some of what was originally done to her on here) new black carpet and headliner to replace the tan ones, customized door panels done in red and black, also some of the interior trim painted red (like the speaker covers, trim around the radio, center console), 7 color L.E.D.s under car kit, 7 color L.E.D.s wheel well light kit, 2 sets of 7 color chamillion L.E.D. interior kit (one set is under the dash, the other set is under the front seats), shifter knob with dragon, pedals are tail, body, and head of dragon, custom upholstered seats they are black w/ red inserts and they have a red dragon embroidered on the head rests and on the center part of the back seat, which is now in the '01) painted brake calipers, center caps w/ red fire bird on them.
