This message board won't let me change my name, but I recently (last week) bought a '87 flame red GTA with 350/Auto and carmine interior. If anybody's interested, I've got the car (92 3.1 Firebird)that me started on f-bodies for sale to pay for the new one.

Can anyone tell me why my 87 GTA has a Formula hood. Everything else appears to be GTA but the hood, is it possible it was stock this way ?? I guess it could have been put on after the fact. Is there any way to be totally sure that it is a GTA and wasn't a formula made to look like one. Otherwise, I guess I have an 87 GTA too, thanks, but please reply by email if you can thanks again.

KW87GTA,there are 2 ways you can tell,the surest is the 5th digit vin #.If it is an S its a Formula,W if its a Trans Am.Also,in your RPO sheet(under the center console door)it will have a Y84 if its a GTA.The hood was probably changed by the previous owner(possibly from some sort of damage)

BTW,I got your e-mail,(I'm having problems accesing my hotmail now)and I'm still skeptical how your car can hit 112mph in the 1/4 with your limited mods with the stock heads,cam,and long runners,especially with 3.50 gears,1 5/8 headers,and a Hypertech chip.If you used a g-tech then there is something wrong with it,or to be honest,you are "exaggerating"?No way could you have added 18mph. With your mods and reduced weight,103-105(if that)sounds more realistic.
