This is the year where I decided I'd had enough. The Trans Am is going up and down on the jack stands more than it goes back and forth.

So I am replacing it with a 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 /M7 that I hope to take to some autocrosses and track days.

Rather than spend more thousands of dollars replacing things like engines, progressively bigger brakes, and having a car that only *I* can work on, I thought I'd rather spend the money on tires and brake pads.

..and have a car that my wife will actually enjoy sitting in.
She hasn't ridden in the Trans Am but maybe three or four times in the last fifteen years.

I figure, I'll fix the fuel pump, take the Trans Am into a shop for a fresh dyno tune, and then put it up for sale. It's had thirty years of my love and attention so it'll be hard to part with it, but man, this Corvette sure does ease the sting! Tell-you-what...(!)

I picked up a 2014 1SS back in December as my new daily driver with the intention of using it as an interim, autocross only, car until I get off my ass and get the Trans Am back on the road. Need to go through the motor and fix some bent suspension so I'm not looking forward to it and have been avoiding it. I can see where this is going to wind up for me as I did my first autocross last month in it with my second this coming Sunday and then Sebring with NASA the following week on April 19th & 20th. I took virtually the same picture of the two cars a couple of weeks ago so I can relate to this post on numerous levels.
