You can beat on it as long as you take care of it. Very clean. Im going to look at a 2001 WS6 today, only down side is its an auto. The price is right so i dont mind the sacrifice. What part of FL are you in Kenny?

[@KennySlides]

William Horvat Thanks I really appreciate the kind words! 🙏🏼

[@rayk9897]

Very nice indeed! However, I should point out that you do not need everything your car has to drift like you do. I see a lot of people wanting to copy another one's build and as a previous owner of 3 f-bodies, they are quite drift-able bone stock. I think simple mods like suspension and chassis upgrades will get you into the sport. That Moser 12 bolt is a pricey piece but oh so very strong! Appreciate you taking the time to share your build and how it all works together. For anyone reading this, if you own one, get out and practice. You don't need to buy anything to start... well, except for tires. You gonna need a LOT of those! :)

[@Baker3939]

It's too bad you couldn't take a trip down to the freedom factory... I bet Cleetus would love to drift this around his track!

I took my Firehawk to a few drift events back in 2005. Back then the import guys at the shows used to say the car is too big and the engine is too heavy and imbalanced in the chassis. Well, ain't life grand fast forward over a decade and everybody is running LS conversions. The import guys back then really didn't know anything about f bodies. I was surprised back then that nobody figured out that these would make great drift cars. Everybody I talked to was impressed by my firehawk. I'm glad guys like you are out there popularizing it. F bodies still rock!

Not that you necessarily care about more power, but you’d be shocked how much power you gain if you get the 3” pipes on the Y merging into a 4” cutout. Especially with a motor that size. Two 3” pipes merging into a single 3” pipe is a huge restriction and causes a lot of the drone and kackling these cars are known for. Flowmaster Y300400. That is one nice and clean TA!

Snagged a set of the black c5 Z06 style wheels from Hawks on it and its looking sharp, gonna do an LS3 swap at some point and drop the LS1 in a Miata but for now gonna cam it, slp cold air, and Kooks long tube headers and off-road x pipe and get it tuned.

[@KennySlides]

RTLsuperbike 458 Not extremely knowledgeable on GTO’s, but I know there are a lot of people out there who drift them!

[@K1ngDav1e]

GTOs are IRS so you already have a leg up suspension wise. Just find a way to control wheel hop, stiffen the suspension a bit and if you want to drift, get an angle kit. From there it's just power and supporting mods.

[@KennySlides]

michael greenburg That’s awesome man! Biggest thing is more steering angle which can be achieved with shortening the outer tie rod mounts on the knuckles and then getting after market a-arms for adjustability and tire/wheel clearance. Coil overs or lowering springs with good adjustable shocks make a huge difference as well

[@davidchristian5412]

I really enjoyed your video I love those cars, I had one, but I just want to be clear about something. In the beginning when you were describing the difference between your Trans Am and a WS6 Trans Am you left out the most important thing that's different about a WS6 and a regular Trans Am and that's the steering and suspension components, they are much beefier and aggressive. As a matter of fact if you would have ordered a brand new Trans-Am from the dealership and asked for only a WS6 suspension to be added the factory would have given that Trans Am a WS6 VIN number. No other WS6 component would have required that to be done. This also goes for 5.7 L formulas as well. But nevertheless you have a great car man.
