Trans am for daily driver?
Hey guys ive recently found an 02 trans am nhra edition for sell. The car has 113,000 miles on it and it is also a 6 speed, It also has some mods to it like an exhaust, corvette rims and drilled rotors and that's it as far as I can tell. I didn't get a chance to drive it but i did hear it fire up and idle for a few mins and let me tell you it was loud and it sounded good! Im just concerned about the mods I don't wanna buy it and have it break on me in a few days. So I was looking for some input from you guys since their is some very knowledgeable people on this forum about f-bodys would this car make a good daily driver or should I look into another trans am? Thanks!

Well I had a 94 and I daily drove mine till 2005 when it went under water. I am going to assume that this car has a LS1 engine since it is a NHRA edition. As long as the previous owner changed the oil regularly they are pretty much bullet proof.
I had 150k on mine (LT1) and it ran like a top. Find out what mods it has and go from there.

I daily drive my SS and its definitely fun. But I do wish every now and then depending on how traffic is around u, that I had an auto, and a not so loud exhaust, and smoother ride, and more comfy but I wouldn't have it any other way to be honest! I do plan on changing my catback soon because leaving at 430am 3 times a weak with my exhust, im sure isn't making the neighbors to happy.
