    I remember back in the day (probably 9 years ago) the group I would run around town with, there were 1 or two 89 turbo T/A's. Both were lightly modded. One was around a 13.0 car, and the other was mid to low 12's. Definatly fast, especially back then for what little was done to the cars.

    I've seen 4th gen V6 F-bodies that had turbo's do 11's a few times as well, and it didn't seem like they really had that much money in them. Pretty impressive stuff.

    I personally never liked the look of the 3rd gen Firebirds enough where I would ever want one, but I can understand how some of you love them.

    The 3800 Series II in 4th gen V6s is nothing like the ones in the turbo TA/GN. People have gone fast with them [3800 Series II] though, the Intense car and ZZP both have cars in the 8s.
