selling the GTA

[gta wizard]

well folks its been fun owning my gta but i cant pass this deal up, there is a kid in town bringing me $8,000 tomorrow for my car, ill probably be looking for a 4th gen camaro ive always wanted a ls1 6 speed! ill keep in touch

[Stephen]

No! Just put in a LS1/6 speed, and still have good looking car. Don't sacrifice looks for speed.

[gta wizard]

i know i know, but 8,000 bucks i gotta do it!

[merc3065]

looks like you're getting a good deal on your gta :)
good luck with your search on the engine/tranny combo! :rockon:

[FearThisGTA]

I agree, just do the swap.

[FrankieRider2]

Correct me if I'm wrong.... but couldn't you get an LS1 and a 6-speed in a Pontiac? :confused:

Don't leave the PMD faithful all together; buy yourself something cool.... like a '96 WS6 Ram Air T/A.

[MunsonGTA]

he'd have to get a 98+ car to get the ls1. definitely get a ram air TA or a formula if you're going ls1 car. ls1 camaros look like catfish...

[FearThisGTA]

The difference between the LS1 Camaro's and the LS1 T/Am's is the Camaro's LOOK like they are gonna come and kick your butt, however the T/Am's WILL come over and kick your butt!! :ha:

[gta wizard]

well the guy is getting the loan money on monday so i have all day tomorrow to enjoy driving my car, its gonna be sad to see her go especially since ive put alot of heart into her, but i think im getting a good deal and i think he is as well, i mean damn near everything on her is new and i always well maintained her. as far as camaro verses trans am, i would love to find a ls1 6 speed trans am ram air package but they ar kinda hard to find, but if anyone knows where i can find one at a reasonable cost let me know. thanx guys for all your help i think this web sight is the BEST around by far and the people are all great! ........... Jason

[FearThisGTA]

Have you ck'd all of the LS1 boards?

I should have seperated those comments better, Munson.... I'm with you on the LS1 availibility. I've got a good friend that has a '00 Z28.

I was trying (vaguely) to state that the early 4thGen WS6 cars are my favorites looks-wise with the second comment.

But by all means, get a Pontiac instead of a Chevy.

[DUBGTA88]

If I were you I would just go all out and get the best of the 4th gens. You know the 35th anniversary trans am WS-6.

SH** with a car like that it probably comes equipped with something similar to whats standing next to it. l.o.l. :angel:

[Klortho]

There are always LS1 T/As on ls1tech for sale. But I also agree, I would do the LS1 swap if the deal falls through.

I rode in an L98 Trans Am, compared to my LT1 powered one, it was like putting the 305 against the 350.

[strc09]

The guys in my car club are trying to get me to do an LS1 swap, but it is a little out of my price range right now. For now...I'll just be happy to have my L98 running again.

what are the stats of hourse and tourqe of an lt1 compared to a l98?

[gta wizard]

what are the stats of hourse and tourqe of an lt1 compared to a l98?
nevermind...... i just found out lt1= 300hp=400tourqe l98= 240hp=340tourqe

[Klortho]

The car ran 9.35 on street tires spinning through 1st and 2nd. If I could get it to hook up we're thinking mid 8's with the stock motor. I'm enjoying the combo in the third gen alot, plus the 24+ mpg doesn't hurt either.

[FearThisGTA]

^ not bad at all I dont blame ya, thats worth braggin bout fer sure. :BG:

for a little bit more, and a ton less work, you could put a procharger on your motor. my buddy just put a procharger on his girlfriends 350 camaro 3rd gen. it just dyno'd 341 rwhp and 426 rwtq. that's on a stock head, stock LTR 350 L98 motor. both of those #'s crush a stock ls1 motor. and just to throw another jab in there, that's only with 7 psi boost, they had the 12# pulley on and couldn't get it to even make that much.

[Klortho]

True, but you still have an L98 with the TPI setup which is still a major chokepoint in those motors.

[Stephen]

All the more reason to keep the TPI! Swap for Vortec heads, port & polish match the TPI runners, and break 400hp...450hp , I bet!

[Klortho]

LT1 cam/port polish heads 400+, no add ons

Buddy with a 383 LT1, cam/heads and procharger, 500hp

both at the wheels.

L98's are a thing of the past.

[MunsonGTA]

True, but you still have an L98 with the TPI setup which is still a major chokepoint in those motors.

yeah it is a major choke point. nobody can deny that fact at all. but that just proves that you can throw on some forced induction to a basically stock L98 motor and make great power. i'd personally throw on forced induction before doing a motor swap. Just think what her motor would make if they put on an hsr and good heads. i bet it'd make easy 450 to the tires. you could swap in an lt1 for a couple grand, an ls1 for about a grand more. or you could throw on a used supercharger setup for the same price and have that wow factor. you go to a show and say "yeah i swapped in an lt1 motor", most people are going to ask you what that is.

[FearThisGTA]

IMO, all of those are worthy of getting more speed. In the end it all depends on the wallet. ;) I myself was gonna do a LS1 swap BUT the pocket book said NO, :ha: so for me a stroker kit may be more reasonable. So in the end its not the combo but the amt of $$$$ you got. :BG:
