2000 Trans Am WS-6 – Legal for AIX, ITE, and similar classes - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Current situation forcing sale. This car is the fastest "door-slammer" (formerly street legal) to have EVER turned a lap at No Problem Raceway (1:19.048). The car also won the Grand Bayou Race Series state championship for the 2008-2009 series. During a recent Viper Racing League outing, she was as fast or faster than all but 3 of the Vipers racing. I've owned this car from a 100% stock car and built it to what it is today. Her nickname is "The Red Rhino".

Modifications listed below. New clutch and drivetrain mods (denoted with "new" after each part). I know I'm missing some stuff.

I will deliver within a 2-hour trip of southeast Louisiana. A passenger seat is also available and can be installed in under 5 minutes. Ride-alongs for serious potential buyers are welcome, if you pay the track-day fee ($75).

$22,500 obo. Please call 985-981-6572 or e-mail at mpatterson1410@yahoo.com with any questions.

I would buy it in a second, but I am in the same position as you. Good luck with the sale. Someone is getting a great car.
