June 2018 COTM **Winner**
Congratulations, prossi! Your next-level '87 GTA is TGO's June 2018 Car of the Month. The way this car was built, and the numbers it puts down make the case that Third Gens will not be relegated to a mere historical automotive performance footnote. This car has a truly awesome list of modifications, and it is put together perfectly. I'm jealous. Green with envy (see what I did there? 'Cause your car is green, right?). Great car. The world needs to see this Third Gen.
I have owned this car on and off since 1994 I bought it back in 2011 and have been improving it since. I do run the car on the track and put it through it’s paces. This last time I built the car I completely took it down to just the shell and built and detailed it all. I replaced just about everything
I have set the car up for track use but it does remain a street car with all the comforts...I even did a custom vintage air set up in
Of course I have some more I want to do to it but my Next mod is a roll cage which should be in soon
Here is a list of some of the current mods
383 stroker motor all forged with AFR heads and HSR intake it’s built to hold up running at the RPM’s it does
last time I dynoed it put down 414hp 432tq to the wheels...not huge power but it does what I need it to do When I ask it to
March front drive kit
Aluminum radiator w/Canton overflow tank
Custom fuel system w/ aeromotive components
Centerforce billet flywheel
Spec stage2plus clutch
Quick time bellhousing
Libertygear modded tremec TKO trans w/ short throw shifter
Tilton hydraulics
Heidts high horsepower IRS rear suspension w/ aluminum Yukon 3rd member
Heidts K member
Heidts a arms
Heidts SFC’
Quick ratio steering box
PS cooler
Wilwood aero6 front 15”brakes
Wilwood 12.8” rear brakes
Ridetech rear shocks
Custom front struts
TSW wheels wrapped in RE71 tires
Vintage air A/C
Corbeau racing seat
AIM data acq system
OMP shift **** and pedals
Braille trunk mounted lightweight battery
