You would kill him. The 80 yr TTA's were total pigs stock. Ive heard of some that have been made faster but Im pretty sure youd take him.

89 TTA's are totally different animal's.

I'm with everyone else. Those things are dogs...if you loose then there is something wrong with your car/driving. I'd say even a LG4 in good tune could take a turbo 301. I dont know what they were thinking when they made those things. They give the real TTA's a bad name.

peace

if its stone stock it will be a good run, but you'll probley edge it out. if he's got duels on it he will probley take you, these are an extreamly underrated car. stock they were mediocre at best givin it had 7.6:1 compression, a cam so small it makes a 305 cam look pro-stock sized, only like 3 lbs of boost and horrible 2" y-pipe exhaust and 2' big cat (these were HORRIBLE resctrive) if the guy just has duel exhaust on it with good mufflers that seriosly a good 50 HP gain, and if its got a bigger cam it will be a solid mid 14 second car.

New cam headers and muffler... turn up boost to 6-9 lbs and you're probably looking at mid 13's
