88 gta

My 88 gta I bought a while back. Had 70,300 something on it when I got it home. It was bone stock when I got it. Basically everything from the air dam to the tip of the tailpipe is new, aftermarket or rebuilt.

Re: 88 gta

They are 18x10 on the rear and 18x8 on the front. I qm going to widen the front to a 9" wide wheel and move the rear out a little more. I can't remember the spec's, I will have to dig through my emails for them.

Re: 88 gta

Going to the track tonight. Made 375 rwhp and 350 rwtq on a dyno that I think was kinda generous. It went 7.86 at 89 in the 1/8 on some old 17" 315 mt's. First time it will have a decent tire on it and be in drag trim. Hoping for a 12.5 or better, weights 3800+ with me in it.
