My 1989 Turbo Trans AM

Lots of mods :-) Wouldnt know where to start and where to stop :-)

This is what happens when I have an entire day to devote to washing and waxing and all three cars are at the same location.

i want one soooooooo bad. i love TTA's, but they command bigger bucks than i got. are all your badges in the right place? seems like your badge behind the window (forgot the name) is out of place.

Pure stock I got it down to 13.3-13.4.

Latest and by far the greatest version hasnt seen track duty.

Couple $$$$k in transmission and I will :-)

Should be just a little fast.......like capable of shaving 2.5 seconds off the times above if all goes well.

later

Incredible looking car, sounds like it performs great also...

I owned a Grand National back in the day and have always been a fan of the Turbo 6 cars.
