1991 Twin Turbo Trans Am
For those interested, there is a new classic road test on The GTA Source Page featuring the famous blue 1991 experimental twin-turbo Trans Am; to my knowledge, Pontiac still maintains the car in its historic collection. There are also two older Camaro prototypes for you Chevy guys and gals, plus and a couple of old Ford prototypes as well.
Just an FYI.... go to "The Specialty File" at the bottom of the Road Test and Reviews section to take a look at this interesting car.

Can someone tell me what kind of intake is on that t/a?? Doesn't look like a normal tpi. Maybe some early lt1???

I'm pretty unimpressed with the performance numbers of that car, unless it was suffering from truly MASSIVE wheelspin (which the editor of the article makes no mention of) or it was sick on track day. Even with highway gearing, 600+hp/700+tq ought to do a whole lot better than 12.7 @116.
***edit*** I see it says it was geared for top speed testing, I misread the first time.

Trust me.... if you're ever anywhere and get to see this thing in person, it's plenty impressive. I bowed out of a ride around Road Atlanta in it with Jim Mattison.... because my wife didn't want to pilot our red GTA around the track by herself.
Boy, was I a dumb***.
