Re: The Turbo Trans Am Strobe lights QUESTION

Ok so not a kit from the factory the person that did the 3 pace cars for GM was a friend of Mike and together with Mike's brother they did the 3 pace cars for GM ... however this person (he unfortunatly passed a way a number of years back) also did one TTA for himself identical to the other 3 and that is the one Mike owns today so very glad it's in good hands and with one of 3 people that actually were part of the original strobe light build of the 3 pace cars ... Mike still got the prototype pieces his brother made and the templates ...

So no you can't buy what they built back in 1989 for GM ... and strobe light technology come a long way from back then being much smaller electronics and generating less heat (bulbs) ...

I got photos of it all somewhere I might post.
