Forgot one...T T/A

A couple weeks ago I went home one afternoon to tighten up my tranny pan bolts since it was leaking so bad. Afterwards, I went for a test drive to see if it worked. As I pulled on to the main road by my house I gunned it as I saw a butt load of cars coming my way. I notice immediately after I got on to the road that there was an older TA coming up FAST. Right away I thought it was a T T/A. He gets behind me and we turn right on to a big 3 lane road thats long with the next light about a mile away. I gunned it after I got straight and so did he. He walked me pretty good. At the light, I pull up next to him and he asks me if its the 4.3. I told him yeah and he told me his car was all stock. So he then asks me if Im going to the GW which is a weekend car hangout here and I told him sure. Even though I wasnt really going there I wanted to see what he had cause I knew there was no way that thing was stock. So we get there and he pops his hood. I look down and see atleast a PT52/6. I also look and see PTE injectors. He tells me theyre 50's. I say well hell that turbo is far from stock and he says yeah but the motor is. So we get to talking and he tells me about his STOCK GN that blows the doors off his car. Then I get to thinking, my friend Ryan has a GN and his dad has a T T/A thats white. So I say are you Ryans dad? He says yeah you know him? I say yeah I saw him a few weeks ago and he was showing me his PT66. Thats not stock man. He says again, yeah but the motor is. I didnt argue and just hung out for a frew then left. I cant belive this guy thinks Im so ignorant that I would believe a sotck motor means a stock car. And that he can justify a cheesy win with a turbo that big and claim its stock. He also told me he runs 13.6 at the track. HAHAHA!! I hope I see him there next summer. Seems he has some pretty good traction issues off the line.

Be aware that TTAs arent slouches even stock so be very aware of modded ones. They dont hook too awfully bad either...just a word of caution that they can put a hurt'n on ya when ya aint expecting it.

Re: Forgot one...T T/A

My buddy's TTA turns 11.40's on his street tires with only turbo work and ported heads. Very impressive car.

Re: Forgot one...T T/A

STOCK MOTOR , with injectors, turbo, intercooler will go low 11's high 10's in a GN. probably the same in a TTA. I ran into a few Gn guys at the track sunday like that. hey even a board meber on here went 11.2xx's with a STOCK Gn with those same parts.

I love the TTA's. That will probably be the next big car purchase after I get another Sy (when this one sells :roll: )

Re: Forgot one...T T/A

I was never doubting the car. Point was, he beat me but it wasnt a woopin. My main point was that its kinda lame to brag about your car thats STOCK, and then pop the hood to show off a PTXX. You know what I mean? Stock, he wouoldve gotten raped. I can promise that. But if I was stock and he was too Im sure he wouldve taken me out from a roll. We never did go from a light so it doesnt matter.

Re: Forgot one...T T/A

Yeah that is dumb Mike, if you think your car is stock just because the internals are stock, come on get a clue, " Yeah my stroker motor with a mondo sized turbo is stock, well it started life with a stock block and it still uses it, so it's stock. "

Let him know stock = almost no modification
