its a 92 aniversary edition,i bought the car with a 6 cyl.. for 600$ engine blown trans cooked... didnt care! i stripped it down to the shell..paint and body were in awsome condition so i left that alone.. i rewired the whole care. built a 383 chevy stroker and put in a th400 trans and a rear out of an 02 formula wilt a detroit locker and 4.10gears with moser axles.. custom dash from sheet aluminum and all autometer gauges.. im downloading pics now to post for you!

the car should run low 11s high 10s depending on how well it hooks out of the hole and the weather.. really touchy.. but thats how it goes...

Motor I say it will run high 12's with that motor. What did you do to the body to stiffen it up? And I assume you are talking about a 92 Camaro lol. By 6cyl 92 anniverary model. Ryan I don't wanna do to much car talking still very upset over the lose of my 2004 Cobra, right after the blower was upgraded along with an entire list to go with it. Anyone interested in an 81 vette 27,000 original miles?? The motor has been worked a little. I believe it runs in the 14's high 13's

thats awesome dude. i actually work with mr members kvh252 and BILBO913 on a 358 sportman in middletown NY dirt track on orange county speedway. sadly this year we not taken off the list of racing because they were not making enough money and dirt sponcer did not sponcer or something. you dont know how pissed because every saturday night we raced and had a blast. here is our car...

and i drive a 05 evo with some work done to it. mostly a crap load of bolt ons. in october i burnt the clutch out sadly. took a month and me and my buddies finally took the trans out in bilbo913 driveway. took a few weeks because evos are retarted and you need to take almost everything out to get to the trans. after we got it done a week later the fu**ing throw out bearing popped out somehow and i broke down on the road. got it towed home and it sat for another 2 months because i did not have the money to get it fixed. now i have a machanic that has been back and forth to my house trying to get it done. its about 50% done now.

I have a 94 TA with an LT1. I used to do autocross racing with my Miata. I was in C class modified. The last year I raced I came in first place ladies class and 3rd place overall. I still have my Trans Am, but I sold the Miata to help pay for my chemo therapy.

 

[albano]

when you pull the front wheels 2feet u aint goin 12s lol

YEAH, :scratchch but, can you do a wheelie with the A/C on?

 

[motortrendz]

haa uh not at all.. but its really cold.. i like it.. corvette brakes all the way around had to midify the spindles and caliper mounts to accept the larger rotors and calipers..

thats awsome!!!! i still have my 86 ta in the garage.. just got my hands on a new ls motor out of a caddy escalade, and a 4l80e trans to back it up.. gonna be doing a new style fuel injection stand alone system with the auto trans with a trans brake in the 86 should be a neat combo..

 

[ryangrieder]

yes indeed. thing is is that if you like cars alot... then you have an addictive personallity with it as well because all you want to do it go faster and looks cleaner. take it on the street or just a track car?

 

[motortrendz]

its a street car.. no roll cage.. just built the car last summer, ran a bunch of street races down by me and out in philly... but i try to clean it and rinse it off after every ride.. it only has abt 2000 miles on it.. the original body has abt 85,000 and the T-tops dont leak! ita a miracle.. my first f-body that doesnt.. ive owned abt 15 of them over the years

WooHoo! A fellow TA owner! Nice!

And yes, sometimes owning a car like that can be addictive. My ex-husband used to accuse me of loving my car more than him. He asked me to make a choice between him and my TA and I told him that many men have come and gone, but my car has never left me.

 

[motortrendz]

that was my first car.. it was maroon with the gold honeycomb wheels with grey interior.. beautiful car.. over the years its been beaten battered and reborn a few times.. right now shes sleeping under a cover in the garage.. its a track car now.. full 12pt cage, solid frame connectors and plans for it to fo out for rear frame and mini tubs. wanna get that car in the 9.9 range...well see..
