It is already my fourth US - Car.
Before i drived 2 Vans (G20 and Astro),later a 91 er Firebird V6.

and since a couple of years my Trans Am.
I don't want to miss it!!!

Re: Hello a new member from germany

I have been to Germany a few times and I have always wanted to take my car there.. I have been on the AUTOBAUN several times and wanted to give it a try in my car. How does your car hold up to the EUR cars?

Re: Hello a new member from germany

TBI? odd...must have been for export only that year, cause they were all TPI (in Trans Ams) by then.

Nice colour!

Re: Hello a new member from germany

@ibmtech :
Many german Autobahnen are meanwhile in bad condions.
I think it is not so much fun for suspencions
But really . I prefer to "cruise" with 100-130 km speed otherwise i pay to much for gas
@871LEIroc:
It is a official export modell.
I think most of the cars in this year which are delivered to germany and switzerland are TBI's.

I just change the EU-Mirrors because there so ugly

Sorry my english is not so perfect.

Best regards,

Marcus

Re: Hello a new member from germany

Ein Hallo aus dem schönen Aargau! :-)
sieht geil aus der transam! check out my car in my VB garage

Most 5 Liter TransAms are TBI in europe, mostly GTA's are 5.7 TPI here.

90% or even more of the Camaros here in Switzerland are 5 liters TBI and TPI.

I guess I'm the lucky guy here with a 91 Z28 5.7 TPI. It does not have the ugly "euro" mirrors (they mounted them because you can swing them away for safety reasons) but it has a Km/h speedo, so I guess it's a canadian model directly imported to switzerland

my camaro easily goes to 240Km/h (speedo reading) on the autobahn...but it's more fun to smoke the low torque euro cars on the redlights hehe
