It will be ugly for him. Just because these cars are old doesnt mean every little brat in a poser sports coupe will stomp us. Make us pa trans am owners proud!

350 TPI will stomp him. If he was S/C he could do OK but with a NA TC you got him beat all day. I can crush them in my 01 TRD solara you will be fine.

I doubt he knows what a '305' is in our case, let alone what it means

Not sure if it will do anything. For people who dont know about our cars they would probably assume a 5L engine would be fast.

Re: 1990 Trans Am Vs 1st gen Scion TC

You will walk all over him!!! I outran one pretty easy in my my daily driver (07 G6 GT) And it wouldn't even be close to a 305 so your 350 wont have any problem.

Yep I test drove one of those before I bought mine, It did run a little better(it has 16hp and 18lbft more then my GT) The GTP that I was looking at looked like it was ripped on pretty hard and had lot more miles so I went with mine.

Re: 1990 Trans Am Vs 1st gen Scion TC

Got mine 6years ago with 18000 miles on it for about 10 I think, It has a tuned PCM and a GTR duel outlet exhaust. Its been a great dependable car. Sorry to hijack the thread..
