Nothing does it like ....

the Turbo Trans Am. I love the acceleration and handling.

I went for a short cruise today. About 5 miles across town. Pulled into the local gas and seen a couple ricers. They were staring the TTA down wondering what is was. So I spooled it up next to them and gently drove away. I seen them both strug their shoulders and smile in my rear mirror.

I have heard comments around town like, " stay away for the turbo GTA " . hahaha . I am from a small town upstate NY so... its fun having the coolest ride around.

When I was teenager, I had the white 91 Formula w/350 with the enduro nose and black cross laced rims. Man, I thought that car was fast!

Talk to you all later. Will post some pics soon.

Ahh, yeah. Good times. I raced a ricer on :NOS: , it was fun, wow he got pissy when he got smoked by a old long hair in an old firebird.

I had a 89 305 TPI GTA 5 speed when I was a punkster. It was fast, I beat some same year vettes, guys with autos that didn't know what was up. I had a Gale Bank exhaust and a K&N breather, it had 3:45 gears so it was quick out of the hole. I beat Irocs with 350s and no stang could hang. Then I got beat by Grand National my senior year of HS....Enter Turbo Trans Am.
I was then the terror of western Kentucky, everyone said it was a 89 GTA on tons of :NOS: ,but it was confused big motor dudes that liked to start that crap. Hey, can't blame them , they had to come up something...these dudes where taking these big inch chevelles/camaros/novas, gutting the interiors running slicks on the street and running low 8s in the 1/8 in the early 80's on race gas, so here comes a youngin running same numbers on pump gas, air conditioning and nice interior/exterior. It's gotta be :NOSontKnow: :cry:

Sweet Dude!!! Yeah, I had the L98 Motor, wasn't even the LT1. So... pretty quick when I first got it. Beating it only made it slower.hahaha

Take care.
