I still wonder how that 79 TA 6.6 I had new back in the day was only rated about 200 hp, I mean it wasn't a rocketship, but I had the speedo wound all the way around, probably 145ish. and it got there quick. My 05 GTO was a really impressive car and hauled ass. 400 hp is nothing these days though. 3 hours ago, Blackstar said: 252 HP, 270 Torque, Top speed of 154 mph My son just bought one we are going to fix up, maybe some tweaks. Thats ripping for a car that size, amazing power. I had use of a 16 GTI last month for a few days and that thing was pretty damn impressive power wise, and I think thats only 210-220 hp range Edited May 21, 2017 by DriftBusta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 My 87 Monte Carlo SS only had 180 HP. All it could do was 14.9 @ 90mph at New England Dragway. A new Toyota Camry is probably faster than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted the TA 6.6 but could'nt find one at the time, and decided to buy the 403 6.6 off the lot. Bird delete, no t top and WS6. It was my dream car but it was honestly a piece of shit. I put headers and real duals and some kind of ignition kit on it, which woke it up alot.

And T tops only compromised an already compromised flexible flyer chassis. The 80s were not good years for quality and performance out of Detroit for sure. I couldn't believe how much mine flexed and creaked. None were as badass as my cousins 68 Firebird 400 or 69 GTO 400. 6 minutes ago, ckf said: He's doing well.

I know it didn't end well with the website, and his personal loss, but I don't think anyone wanted it to be that way. I do wish him the very best. That car sounds like an absolute riot with that much HP and AWD. Edited May 21, 2017 by DriftBusta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, apparently they have some known motor issues and are tough to work on. Though, I doubt many of these hyper 4 bangers live a long life. I'm glad he bought anything.
