Doesn't even matter what the car was.
It's your car to do with it as you choose.
I too, have a modded Special Edition.
I bought it new, back when no one knew how these cars would be years from then.
Now I know, and I still don't care.
It's my car, and I'll do with it as I choose.
I have other Trans Ams that are/will be stock.
It's my money, no one else's.
They didn't buy it, I did.
My hat's off to you xtrmeta, you have put together one bada*s Trans Am!
Will you ever get the money you invested in it?
Who knows.
Only you will care.
If these people put the money into the cars like we do, they would have something nice as well.
My rant,
