supposably this car was a tta test car with a manual tranny. i know there was some testing done with manual trannies but it was scrapped because they could not make it maintain boost during shifts.

my question is - did pontiac ever have a test tta with a manual tranny? what type of testing did buick do with manual trannies (since they produced cars for many years with the motor)?

Like it says, Pontiac still owns the car.

I've seen it at the TA Nats in Dayton the past 2 years.

Usually its parked next to the 1LE 91 or 92(i forget) Jamacian yelleo Formula 5 spd that is serial number 000001


I want them both lol

later

Very entertaining to read that old copy from yesteryear....Of course, its all linked via the TTA FAQ List (Click on "TTA Road Tests and Reviews, circa 1989"). That article, and others, cover milestones in the development of the GTA and TTA
