All my pics of my first car are on real film from a 35mm camera. I tried to snap a pic of them but that look gawd awful. So for now, a little description. I know, if I don't show pics it never happened....
1988 Pontiac Trans Am GTA Notch Back. Number 197 of 718. Ws6 suspension, a tpi 350 with the Pontiac SLP addon pack, that was basically unrestricted exhaust,intake,muffs,and a new eeprom, the eeprom was replaced with a " Stage 3 " heat chip. It sat on 16 inch wheels, 50's rear skinnys front, honeycomb gold mag style aluminum wheels. The notch back was a flat deck lid made of fiberglass with a short vertical rear window. Had factory Blaupunkt sub's with separate controls, the stereo was replaced with an Audiovox over under CD tape tuner with a 1200 watt Punch amp and two 12" kickers. The windows were illegal tint eight inches down windshield and blacked out all around. Dangerous atnight. 3800 stall torque. Turbo 400 trans with a slap kit.
That was my baby. I worked eighteen hour days for five years making 12.50 an hour and only spent money on that car. I was 17 so lived at home for free. Lol. The exhaust was all three inch pipe from the twin muffs out, had massive injectors and an after market intake.
Was dynoed at 740 and 1280 and that was before it had a comp cam and a slight .002 ) bore .
Couldn't leave the drive way if it was raining the rear wheels would kick at stop lights. It was cammed so it idled high/low and the torque would grab and release so the back if the car would shift to the side at a stop with wet roads. I had to use a piece of 3/4 inch chain welded around the tranny and cross member because it kept shredding the rear rubber mounts. Even those supposed hi po poly mounts. I miss that car. I sold it when I found out my fiancé was pregnant. Twelve days after I sold the car, she miscarried. Its a whole sore subject with me. Every time I see one of these cars, it eats me apart. Thank God they are rare. ..will try yo scan some pics to post.

This I want to see 2stroked . 😀 Makes my highly modified Mk 2 Escort I had at 17 seem quite tame. I had it for 6 months and totalled it. How are you still alive? 😉 Luck. I was the fat kid in high school who shouldn't have had a gf, but had all the popular dudes girls riding in my car. I would run anyone anywhere and only lost one run. The nose cone came through the floor tunnel and scared the shut outta me. I let out and lost. Hence the chain welded in place. I tried the phone scanner apps and they all SUUUCCCKKKKK I just can't get them to load where they aren't blurred or the light isn't shined across them My buddy at the time had a bunch of pics of me and the car and the different girls on a digicam but we haven't spoken in a while. I did drop him an email though Do y'all remember KnightRider? Well my car wasn't K.I.T but it was like K.A.R. the one that u don't see much of. If you do a Google search for " 1988 Pontiac Trans Am GTA Notch Back" you will see some cherry examples. Mine was solid gloss black, golden wheels, blacked out windows, 3 1/2 inch dual ex tips and digital dash. The analogue dash cars were the rarest, but a digi dash and the engine (350TPI) Trans( turbo 400) combo on mine was a little rare. I do miss that car, but seeing those damn pictures brings back painful memories of a different sort. See this:https://postimg.org/image/l3vx97gy7/ |

My father's work finally got a Demon in. Not fantastic pics, but you get the jist, 840hp factory car.   I'd love to take one for a ride, but must admit, I'm pretty tired of the bloated challenger, charger etc. Thank god they never slapped a 'cuda sticker on one of the aging LX cars. At this point I feel they're just good candidates to yank the driveline from and install into a classic Mopar. Same for the camaro. The mustang is the only one that is ever-evolving and never got too big and cartoony. |

This is my daily driver. After I moved from West Texas to Houston I could no longer ride my ruck to the office so I needed a daily that I could take on 40 mile round trips to work. As much as I would love to do that on the ruck, it would take too long and after working 12 hr shifts the last thing I would want to do would be break down. It's not as powerful or pure muscle as some of the other ones above but a 2014 fiesta St is a fun little hatch. It spools it's turbo and zooms around bigger cars on the highway, so that's gotta count for something. It's completely stock for now, it will be for a while but I got some plans for it in the future.    |

I can only imagine how that would feel. That's a hell of a lot of power moving that gutted Fiesta.
