YACT: '86 Trans Am

[Black88GTA]

Go for it. I've had my '88 for well over 6 years now. Excellent car to learn on. Parts are plentiful and cheap, great aftermarket, etc.

If you get it, your first mod should be a nice set of weld-in subframe connectors.

On Motorweek they were discussing older cars and they mentioned an 85 TA and they said the 1/4 mile time was 17.1 sec and an 05 Kia Spectra was is the low 16's.

That hurts....

QFT, those cars were about as stiff as a wet noodle. A friend of mine had a late 80s IROC convertible and when you went over a speed bump at an angle the door glass would move out from the roof seals about an inch.

Eh, I could apint it black and put the gold pheonix on the front, but it wouldn't be the same, would it.....

If you're going to paint it black, go all the way!

LOL.. OP should definately buy the car and do this to it.
