My name is John and I’m new to the site. As you can see I love my pontiac’s. But also like and respect anyone who is into cars no matter what they drive. I just started to mod my 25th. Cold air intake, cat back system, springs, subframes, and bilstiens to start. The other two are stock for now. I live in the Buffalo area.

I’m from the buffalo area. So not that close. The turbo car has only 8,100 miles on it. So I baby that one. But it does blow my LT1 car away.

Blows the LT1 away… wow, I wouldn’t have thought that! I used to have a 97 formula and damn that thing was quick!

Yea. The 3.8 is not as heavy as the LT1. Also GM under rated the engine because the vett made like 250 HP that year. So thats what they rated the TTA. But it actually made over 300hp, and 350 pounds of torque. It builds boost quick and does 0 to 60 in 4.6 and the 1/4 mile in 13.4 at 101 mph.
