hello columbus, just doing my intro. my name is cory im 20 yrs old. i drive a 1999 Pontiac Trans Am LS1 M6. bone stock but not for long. i bought it in april of 2011 and has it changed my life. when i bought it it had 157k mi on the odo,car has 166k on it now. paid $6300. came with the WS6 wheels and had no problems.noticed the oil pressure gauge was shaking a lot at warm idle so i replaced the pressure sending unit and oil pump for good measure, fixed the issue.on to the pics.

so i drove it pretty hard all summer. broke 5th gear somehow after having the car for just over i think 2 months. then 6th gear also did not work by the end of summer. so i did not go on highways once 6th broke.
first time i took it to the track, which was the first time i ever drove a RWD Manual at the track i did horrible but improved quickly.dont have vids of races or pics of my timeslips but i ran a 15.4 my first run. then a 14.4, 14.2, 14.1, 14.0xx all at norwalk. then that night went to Dragway 42 and ran 4 low 14 runs till my last run i finaly hit the 13.9. on worn kumho summer tires.
couple weeks went to 42 again and ran a 14.0 then i go to do a little burnout before my second run and all i hear is grinding.diff is tore up.
