Newbie on the board looking for Legend coupe

FireManMikey · 08-26-04, 11:39 PM

Hey everyone Im new to the board currently looking for a 94-95 Legend L/ LS coupe. I currently drive a 1997 Pontiac Trans Am WS.6. Pretty powerful but missing the classy look to it and want a little more seating space for the back and also to be able to put my fire gear in. At one point I was considering an Accord coupe (98-02) but felt it was just not the same as a Legend coupe. So which one do you all think would be the better choice L? LS? How fast can they go if they are modded? Im planning to get the 6 speed though. All info are appreciated

As far as a 6 speed, you'll have 230 hp/206 ft. lb. torque, behind a Type II engine. The car is capable of 140+ top speeds and mid 15 second quarter mile times stock (it's heavy). Low 14's are definitely possible with about $1000 in mods (CAI, exhaust, Bayou/Dinan chip, and Nitrous). Definitely get an LS model)

Welcome to the forums.

the 6 speeds are gonna be pretty hard to find in good shape, but they are out there.
OT, how long have you been a fire fighter?? im in the fire academy right now just across the state from you in naples.

If you wanna carry anything, a coupe probably isnt your best bet... imo

Not much info here ? .... are you kidding ?

What you may be "finding" is that the members here are not going to spoon-feed you, even though your top speed question seems to have been answered already.

If you want to learn something about the car then don't be lazy and do some reading here. Use the search button and read some more on any topic you want. I dont think you will find anymore that you can right here. If you can, let me know please, and I will go there too !

This is the place to be when looking for information about Legends.

The questions you asked have already been answered.

Welcome to the forum.

95Legend I been a firefighter for 2 years. Loving it man. If you don't have your EMT or Medic yet I would get it so you have better chance in applying and dont put all your eggs in one basket. I got some friends that are working there and in Ft. Myers....GOOD LUCK man and dont give up

Atiyeh I know what you mean I been in one but its better than in My Trans Am.

And for the rest of the guys THANKS ALOT for the info. I hope you guys arent offended by my comment. Was just trying to just get some info cuz Im planning to get a Legend as a daily driver and soon not gonna be able to drive my Trans Am cuz Im adding a lot of HP. I know what you mean by not spoon feeding me about the info but I didnt have any problem getting info at the forum for Trans Ams. Not trying to compare forums but didnt know this forum not everyone would be willing to help. But Im glad some info are giving to me and I appreciate that. Sometime I dont get to read all the info in the forum cuz as you can see my screen name Im a firefighter and it tends to get busy at the fire house sometime and I dont have the time to read up on all the info. but anyways its all good

...hahahha

Hmmm I guess no one has taken it to 12s......Ill do some research on that

Once you read what has been done, you'll realize that 12s would take research, custom fabrication, money and time. I believe the fastest so far is DV8 with a 13.3.

After you do "your research", make sure you share it with all the other members. Maybe you already know how to get headers on a Legend too !

RangerJoe · 10-19-04, 04:48 PM

last time i checked, the coupe had a larger trunk than the sedan

Legend32 · 10-19-04, 06:58 PM

Oh yes, the trunk of the coupè has been larger at the old Legend (first generation). And of course the coupè is much more pretty.

Wellcome to the forum and greetings send from Germany.

KILADELFIA58 · 10-19-04, 07:02 PM

And how I must agree with that
