WTT/WTS 92 AWD turbo 5-speed talon

[Aaron91RS]

Alright don't flame me to bad. I also own a 3rd gen Camaro already and the talon is a turbo and stupid fast plus it's got AWD and posi for the winter.
Maybe if I am lucky someone will want to buy it or trade for something interesting.


This car is stupid fast and the best combination you can get 6bolt engine/ 5speed tranny/ 4bolt rear end. Anyone who know's DSM's knows this combo was only made for a 1/2 year in 92. EVERYTHING has been replaced, Engine/tranny/ CV's all have less 30K on them and work great. Engine has great even compression, tranny shifts smooth. Timing belt was just replaced this week! Anyway on with the good stuff. I put the cost of the part new next to it so you can see how much money is in this car.
I drive it everyday to work, 120 miles, and love it but I have other projects I could put the money in.

Any track times?

 

[Aaron91RS]

Sorry it's a daily driver at 120 miles per day to work. And great on a day like today when STL has snow, so I don't have anything like that.

Not to bench race but on dsmtimes.org there are like 27 FP green turbos just in 11's and almost in the 10's. Most of them are 7cm mine is the 8cm version.
Not saying mine will run an 11 flat just saying it has potential.
Just from the ls1's I've raced on pump gas I think it's safe to say it's in the 12's, add some race gas and advance the timing and it picks up nicely.
Keep in mind this a totally streetable turbo, nothing track only.

From your own words it sounds like I would end up putting a new tranny in it right away.
Thats not something I want to do at this time.

If you want a $7000 T/R, the odds you'll have to put a new trans in it is very high, unless the body/interior has problems.

I'd rather buy a nice one that needs a new trans than one that was cheap because of rust, body or interior damage.

Also, a $7000 one that needs a new trans is a better deal than a $4500 one that has bottom end problems.

Keep this in mind when you are looking.

again from his own words it has some rust spots, bad paint, a wavey fender, leaking header, and carfax shows two accidents. Still think it's a good deal?

On the other hand ProjectWE4 just sold his high mile TTA with a nice built tranny and rebuilt engine for $5800. So you can find stuff cheap, if your patient.

The best "deals" right now are on $9 - 10K cars that don't need anything. If someone sells a T/R for $5-7K now its probably because it needs another $6K to be "nice".

I paid $5K for my rust free T-type 10 years ago and put nearly 300 trouble free dragstrip passes on it. Those days are over. Buy a nice one while you can. Check lesser, but older "musclecar" prices for a portent of things to come.
