There is a member on this board that has a 1200+ hp 3rd gen Trans Am.... and it's a 6 banger ;)

Maybe he will chime in
 
Sweet car! Deff looks sleeper, doesnt sound too sleeper though

One thing that makes no sense to me is having a car like that making that kinda power and throwing street tires on it? Not only is that car gonna go no where, its semi dangerous with the wrong driver. That thing has to be like driving on ice when in boost with out some sort of radial

off topic but I saw you driving your car last weekend on M59 and you got off at Dequindre. Car looked good in race trim and sounded good also. Sorry back to topic..
 
Clean and well done! Talk about a sleeper, usually when they sound like that theres just a header about to fall off. I agree with the previous tire statement, 900+ hp is awesome, but with a street tire, you might as well make 600.
