Get the fug out.
Seriously though, how gay do you have to be?

Yeah, I bought one.
Can we take it out for a ride?
No. I just want to... look at it.

I'd put 727,000 miles on that car.

i chat with a guy on yahoo alot that does... his is really clean little over 100,000 miles did a turbo upgrade bottom end, all kinds of fun stuff i still couldnt see it... unplug the odometer, toss in another turbo 3.8 turbo block to mod and keep the factory stuff packed in oil somewere in a safe... then 20 years later assuming you drove it and kept it clean enough toss the original stuff back in and call a few car museums..lol and dotn forget to plug to odometer back in

That car in street tires will run 12s in the 1/4 bone stock.

Where did you find that? MuscleCarClub.com said "3.8/250bhp: 1/4 mile in 14.2 seconds @ 97.8 mph"

I'm not going to spend that kind of money on a car and not drive it. Don't get me wrong its a rare and nice car and would be cool to have. But I'd have to have like 10 other cars to not drive it and even then I'd get it out occasionally.

...no v-8 besides a yenko or some special edition will come close to the price one of those will grab

455 Super Duty's are worth a pretty hefty chunk of change. Also that TA is a S/E.

Yeah those #'s previously posted don't add up for me either. I know the engine was underrated, but it would need well over 300 HP to hit low 13's like that.

An LT1 with 275 HP hits low 14's - though they weigh a little more I believe.

a little? lol close to 500lbs with engine weight

most 3rd gens the S/E version can get way more options than a Trans am can, kinda wierd but thats the way they did it.. a fully loaded S/E for my year had more than a fully loaded trans am package.

im not saying its my dream car, but passing one up would be a dumb idea being they are so rare, and as you can see go for a good price even when its not considered a classic yet.

I respectfully disagree. An LT1 Trans Am weighs in just over 3500 lbs. a V8 3rd Gen TA weighs in at just over 3300 lbs. The 3.8 with a turbo and related piping isn't going to be that much less then the V8. Lets be generious and say it weighed 3200 lbs. Thats only 300 lbs difference.

At 10 HP / 100 lbs (general standard) that still dosen't add up. I'd research it more to argue my point but I don't have the time while working.

Regardless the car was/is bad ass. No disagreement there.

no your right i just looked it up... 3350 average... pretty much with a full tank in a stock car... still it would be a really close race...and mod money wise you would get more bang for your buck... why did they have to all be white though...
