LOTS of NEW PICS of my Turbo TA!

Here are some pics I snapped today. Sorry 56k people, but if you want to see some TTA pics, it's worth the wait. I tried to make the files as small as possible without compromising the quality of the pics too much.

I don't have time to enjoy it like I need to, and I have found another 94 25th Anniversary TA Convertible I'm buying, and I need to sell this one ASAP to get the cash to pay towards the 94.

Here's the vert I'm buying (only 30,000 original miles)



It's got Fiske FM-10's on it, and several Lingenfelter parts to include:

Heads and oversized valves with Roller rockers
Hydraulic Roller cam and tappets
Oversized intake system
Exhaust headers and head pipe (Jet-Hot coated)

Not to mention the Ram Air setup, and a lot of other goodies like a Borla catback exhaust, etc.

The only thing I don't like is the stickers they put on the doors. "pace car, etc." would embarrass me to drive.

I like the stickers...it attracts a lot of attention, and people are asking questions and looking at it everywhere I go.

It will be better than an LT4

Here's a link to Lingenfelters page for a head:

http://www.lingenfelter.com/lingenfe...d=7&pf%5Fid=14

WOW...$2199$ for ONE head?!

I've read several reviews of the Lingenfelter parts installed on an LT1, and they were makin' 415+ HP with less parts than what are on the car I'm buying.

FYI....

I can take PayPal for payment on the car. I'll split the price up into two transactions (paypal has a 10k max per transaction) if you'll split the 3% fee with me. Buy it with a credit card or two if you want to.

You're gonna miss it!! You still have time to change your mind!

I've got decals too, and people are always asking what year it is LOL, guess they should be bigger, haha
They do attract a lot of attention though, just not the right kind. "Sorry officer, I never even noticed the lightbar on your car as I passed you at 160"
Officer: "That car sticks out like a sore thumb, you need to get a more stealthy car if you're gonna drive that fast, and get away with it"

LOL.....

I KNOW I will miss her, but one day when I have a place with a bigger garage, I WILL buy another TTA. The cars are just too much fun and get so much attention.

Meanwhile, I'm getting a car I will not be so inclined to want to spend money and time on to make it go faster. (Like I really NEED to go faster than 12.332 in the 1/4 mile, but speed is addictive.) I had intended to do a few more upgrades, take her to the track occasionally, etc, but I just don't have time to do it at this point in my life.

I love the car. I would be proud to drive a TTA with all the pace-car decals. I think they really add a "race-car" theme to the car.

are you nuts?!

good *** you are crazy!
you are going to kick yourself if u sell that thing. What happens when the 94' isnt fast enough and you need to spend $ on that one too? Its not like its a TBI 305 or somthing that you wont bother to spend cash on. I would kill for that car (the TTA):hail:

IT is a shame that the fastest 3rd gen was a 6cyl turbo. But as far as the car goes, it looks great, and well taken care of. I just hope the person that buys it will keep it in good shape as well.

That is absolutly one of the best looking cars I've seen. Course I love all third gen firebirds (and camaros) but I love the interior and the badging and decals are a nice touch for a car like that. There's a 30th anniversary TA here that is driven daily and I always thought the decals made it stand out from all the other 4th gens around.
