I guess thirdgens are not immune to the ***** effect of adding fake stickers like "VVTi" and "type-R", etc. I'd like to know where that emblem came from though. Font seems to match 82-92 "Firebird" front fender logo.

basically they never made a turbo 92 f-body.. it's fake.

The only rare 92 RS ever made was the B4C.

The B4C was the car the cops used right? Or am I thinking of something else?

Yes the B4C is the Law Enforcement only car. However there was a Camaro built with a turbo. I think it was in '80 built by Mr. Yenko himself it was a freakin' dog though. Not sure if your definition of stock is, but a Yenko is to me. So yes there were stock turbo'd F-bodies but not in '92 that's for sure!!!

Later, Garrett

Yep, GTA seats were optional on the turbo Grand Am's... they were also optioned with steering wheel radio controls and other features shared witht he GTA. I looked at buying one just for the seats, but I didn't have a way to dispose of the car.
