I was in the archives and found a bunch of post's about the 89 TTA pace car.

Well, I got excited and clicked on a few post's and all the info was sooooo screwy that it made me dumber. I am the proud owner of the 89 TTA pace car and demand some good facts to share with our fellow board members

I'm sure I will think of more but, just wanting to get it started..

Please post if you want to add anything to this list that is factual or real world.

Thanks,

Yes thats pretty much the facts. We have TTA #1053 and love it. GM rated it at 250 hp because it fell under the rule that no car can have more HP than the Corvette of the same year. If I can be of any help please let me know.

There is a scanning software link out there Turbolink it is awesome, works off the ALDL and will come with turbo sensing unit. You just supply the laptop

Thanks, Brian
I have a few friend's around me fortunatly, that have 89 TTA's and tuning is key!

One running 11.62 @119 1.58 60ft Bearly any mods (turbo,inj.,chip)and another that hasn't gotten a good pass in yet, his best is 12.3 on street tires with a rebuilt motor(turbo ,inj.,chip,cam)so far.

I havent run my car yet but it's modded like the rest. Tune,Tune,Tune.....

You ever at TB.com?

Oh, another fact!

All 1,550 89 TTA pace car's were identical performance wise.

 

Yeah My brother and I are really into the TTA and a couple of others I have you can check out our cars at www.geocities.com/feltsb The TTA is un-modified except for a cold air.



Brian

 

I don't have a TTA but I stole a motor :sillylol:

 

HEY GIVE THAT MOTOR BACK LOL...you know I have a hot cam 355 W Vortec heads and a holley 770 and love the power. I don't know what one is faster between the TTA and the RS but I just love the feel of boost.................there is just something about it.


Brian

 

Boost is addicting!

 

That's a car I'd love to have, for sure.

I watched one late last year at Cecil Dragway laying down mid 11s, looking very stock (it was a bolt-on car in reality, after talking with the owner). He was just KILLING the bolt-on and even most of the heads/cam LS-1 cars all day long. I recall the MPH being in the 120 range.

I love turbo cars. Easy to look stock but still go very fast.
