Very nice turbo TPI

I think this car is older than 90 but some one has added the 91-92 nose and GFX, take a look http://www.yearone.com/enthusiast/ar...et/blueta.html I love that blue color and check out the sweet red TA next to it.

Did anybody else notice that the LTR setup appears to have been replaced with a tunnel-ram base and modified TPI plenum?

That car was a the F-Body gathering in Bowling Green,KY back in September.

It is a very nice T/A!! It also has a Corvette IRS and a ZF 6peed.

I have some better pics that I will try to scan this weekend.

I remember when that car was first built. It was in 1990 and it used to appear at the Motor City Race Rock Cafe every weekend. It also has a 6 speed.

GM owns it and its kept in Warren, MI at the GM Tech Center. The only time it see's daylight these days is on the show car circuit.

2 turbos and the rims were made by BBS. Still may be available or they may have a newer similar model.

Hmm... 87 GTA steering wheel, pre 85 console, 92 GFX, no air extractors in the fenders... thats a damn tough call to make.

Bad *** car none the less!
