Turbo TA Question

Just wondering, since the TTA had a hp rating of 250, and 3rd gen GTA models had a hp rating in the range of 210, would that make insurance higher on the TTA as opposed to a GTA?

I don't think insurance look at "horsepower ratings" as much as they do the car model. For instance, I believe that you will pay more for an IROC-Z with the LG4 than a base model sport coupe with the SAME motor. That's an I think.

Truthfully buddy, It doesn't matter, your young, its rear wheel drive and a sports car, your gonna get raped with insurance. The words "Trans Am" are going to give you an asspounding. I remember I was looking at insurance on an IROC when I was 16/17 and it was about 900 bucks every six months just for liability.

Your best bet is to somehow try to get it titled under your parents. I know my truck is about 100 bucks a month, insured year round, and the Camaro is about 30 a month under my dads name, and is only insured in the warm months.

yeah, technically speaking it IS a gta since the chassis & everything is the same, but just for discussion's sake we'll say it's not, since it's not "officially" classified as one...

Ok whatever, the words "GTA" or "Trans Am" is going to rape you.

I pay $272 a year for liability / uninsured motorist for mine as they have it listed as a Pontiac Firebird. They have the correct vin. and when they asked is what engine is in it, is said "a V6".
