Ken writes about his Comp T/A:

     "Street Legal Performance Engineering Inc. - they modified it. What a job they did!! I have owned lots of performance cars, but nothing compares to this. Total command of the road folks. A "street legal race car!"

Ken is a very busy individual with both the internet and Pontiacs. For starters he hosts his own web page entitled: Ken & Mary's SLP Cars Home Page. Its all about the Comp T/A you see here and the Firehawk (seen at Firehawks Lot#2) that's owned by his wife.

Next Ken is the founder of the SLP Comp T/A Owners Association. As you might have guessed this site's purpose is to provide information on these unique cars and a place for Comp T/A owners to get together. If you own a Comp T/A and have not visited this site, I highly recommend you do.                                                    
Last but not least, believe it or not Ken is the Founder and current President of the Mid-Atlantic F-Body Association. Their mission statement: MAFBA is not about who has the fastest car or who has the fanciest car.  It's about good people getting together for car shows, charity events, weekend cruises to scenic places, cruise nights at neat restaurants, promotional assistance to GM dealerships, sharing performance modifications, sharing detailing techniques, and just plain having fun!

 


 









1997 Comp T/A #148

     "I have owned my 1997 Pontiac Trans Am Comp T/A for about two and a half years. I am the third owner. It currently has 96k miles. Factory options include: t-tops, 6 speed with the Hurst short throw shifter, Ram-air, 17" Speedline Rims, 2 on the left exhaust, 500 watt Monsoon 10 speaker stereo with cd player. Upgrades include: SLP airfoil, 1" Hotchkis lowering springs, Koni Yellow adjustable shocks, 3.73 gears with an Eaton posi differential, tinted windows, K&N filter, and Hypertech Power Programmer III tune. Other than that is is absolutely stock. I wash it inside and out as often as I can, usually once a week when the weather is nicer. I live on Long Island so out winters are long and cold. I have applied uncountable coats of Zaino polish on the outside. I condition the leather about twice a year. I absolutely love the car. I don't want to get rid of it but it will be going up on ebay this week. I hope it finds a home with someone who enjoys and cares for it as much as i do. It is #148 of 164 and 1 of 25 with its options and year."
