The reality is in 1996 when Subaru rolled out vehicles that were riding next to Chevy LT1s..and GM the game was over..what did Gm do..nothing...think about it in 9years..GM went from a LT1 camaro with 275hp to a LS1 with 310hp...5k more for the SS package which got 15hp more..its all a joke..here it is 20 years later and they are just getting to 400hp with heavy cars that arent that much faster than cars 10years ago..Gm should have had 400hp stock camaros in 2000, instead they quit in 2002..
Ok let me enlighten ppl and maybe we can get past this ricer American bs...its real simple...GM and FOrd gave up on the young ppl with 1990s sucky tech low hp and 30k hot rods..Gone are days when u could get old chevy a weekend and roll out 600hp urself..The young ppl had no choice but to buy what they can afford..and a 13k Civic SI in the 80s was running circles around american V8s so , lets place the blame where it belongs..Executives preying on middle aged ppl, forgeting muscle car integrety
pshh i respect muscle but whoever said 3.4 liter pushing 300 horse is rare... thats dumb... the evo is a 2.0 with 291 hp stock and 300lb of tq.. simple as this... muscle cars are cool but throw in 1 turn and its all over.. and as for a straight.. people underestimate the jap car until it beats the american cars... i have an evo x, only put like 2500 bucks into it for performance and my 2 liter engine puts out 412 at the crank w/ 420lbs of tq..385 awhp... im running 12 flat at 116..id smoke that
i hate guys who diss on imports,im a gm guy but you have to respect the power and speed that much of these imports have and on top of all that still beat us in fuel milage,almost sounds like a whin whin situation and honda for example may be based overseas but the cars are made here unlike alot of our u.s. companies who are sending everything to mexico,china,ect. like chrysler who closed their plant in stl. mo and sent everything from that plant to mexico except the workers
I hate all these traitor's who support Japanese cars while our country struggles financially because dumbfucks like these buy imports. I've bought nothing but American cars and they're very reliable. I own a Camaro SS, my first ride was an '87 Fiero GT so stop with the lame excuses. Next time one loses their jobs, they should see what they're driving before they start whining about it. And we need to dig a large hole, throw all these import lovers in it then throw a bomb in it.
Actually from what I can tell, it's a stock 1989 Trans am with a buick 3.8L turbo. But guess what? When I get my 700r4 Transmission I'd probably be able to spank your Lancer. Shit I just finished my building up a 454. With an Edelbroke dual carb tunnel ram intake manifold, 2 Holley 750 CFM Carbs, Forge aluminum pistons, connecting rods and crank, L88 High rise, High compression Cam, MSD ignition & distributer. 4:11.1 rear end and fresh pair of drag slicks to top my 1980 Corvette.
I used to have mad respect for evolution I have a lancer with evolution x turbo setup and after talking to alot of evolution guys they treated me like shit sti guys helped me before they did news flash evolution isn't that fast
sorry they were known to trap 101-102. To not sound like a hater in the previohs post id like to say id want one especuially w that flat rear hatch option w/small window to be different and save weight.
the tta never hit 100mph bone stock but the little 2.0L evo does 103 even w the drag of awd bone stock at 280hp...any year stock evo will pack any stock snailed factory buick even though they weigh about the same.
@05EVORS r u stupid?! a trans am not hitting 100mph stock?! dude even the specs sheet that they put on the window at dealerships 4 the 1988 pontiac trans am will do over 90 in a quater mile how the fuck could it not do 100? u still have another gear atleast!
i laugh that an old turbo v8 can only make a 114mph trap speed.... thats barely mid 12's.......
an Evo X with TBE, intake and a reflash can do 11's........ its not hard.
And stop dogging on the evo...... a STOCK clutch on AWD cars like the Subie and Evos are weak and WILL wear out quite fast.... were talking within 20k miles.
You guys wonder why the launch was bad? the guy wants to save his clutch.
@rotor13 thats an 89 turbo trans am, they were v6 and had less hp than the evo 10, quit being such a fanboy, trans am won, quit making excuses for the evo.
@rotor13 those cars ran mid 13's from the factory, they were only built in 89, had the buick gnx motor, which was the fastest car from the 80's. they are the lightest fbodies ever built. I have an 88 trans am. it has an ls1 in it, it hauls ass, runs low 12's with bolt ons. the tpi motors that came in the third gens were crap, they had low hp, and only ran about a mid to high 14. this particular car is very special, its the only fbodie from that generation that was fast.
@firechicken76 Pontiac was also the only other car manufacturer besides buick to be allowed to use that engine. Those TTA's outran most anything on the track at the time. My brother used to have a genuine TTA pace car but he sold it years ago...they are sick as hell.
@FullThrottle214 How do you figure? the evo runs a mid 13, well so does the 89 turbo trans am. a set of drag radials would probably be low 13, high 12's.
im begining to wonder if anyone knows what the turbo t/a is.......its an 89 trans am gta with a buick GNX motor.
Okay obviously the EVO would win in a circuit race, but nobody circuit races on the street. And barely anyone goes to a track. The EVO would win with corners but they are racing in a straight line...I dont even like this year of Trans Am the worst body styling ever lol fucking flip-up lights.
@normanaw lol i dunno i have something against those years of t/a :P and after that. any year before that especially 60s are sexy. evo sucks anyways too :P fackin jelly bean car.
Man I keep coming back to look at this video and i amazes me the comments that are still being put up. As I have said beforem this was my evo X... Completely stock, rolling the launch to save the clutch. I ran a low 14 second pass against this guy.
I get a kick out of the people that say it is not an evo, That's why i have the small wing.... just for people like that.
@Gexxer dont feel bad, i have a regular GTA with the V8, you would kick my ass, but these TTA's have the same drivetrain as the GNX, its a serious machine
In '89 about 1500 Turbo Trans Am's were produced and were pretty fast from the factory, 0-60mph in under 5 seconds, that was in '89, which is still pretty good now. It had a tweaked version of the Grand National motor.
Actually that is a 3.8L V6 turbo that came like that from the factory. It's pretty much the same engine as a Buick Grand National except heads are different for the TTA and tuning I believe. Not a V8.

Nothing worse than an arrogantly fixated muscle car guy so mentally compromised with so much American brawn and muscle already entirely up his ass, he'd have no brawn left to offer out of himself from between his legs. Much less, balls. You must be one of those typical repetitive straight-line-exclusive little bitches who'd be first to choose to hide behind a V8 to compensate.
You must like to feel powerful. I just see a pussy cat hiding behind a brick wall, talking down on "import bitches".
@EyelessCatharsis Thats a 6cyl TransAm, retard; and some people prefer to apreciate a nice car and aren't compensating for anything, they just like the car. Not everyone is cool enough to see how fast they can make a throw away car like a Mitsubishi go.
i actually agree with you (Eyeless Catharsis). I'm not much of an import guy, I choose American Muscle over them, but its not like you gotta stick wih one side all the time. Imports are cool cars they're good too. At least he didnt post that on a vid of a muscle car losing LOL
@OCDrummer187 hahaha. wow. yall guys are retarted. really do it...see what happens to that back end and who's hugging those curves. thanks for agreeing with me man. its only logic.
@OCDrummer187 I am sure the trans am would beat it there too, you apparently have never driven a ws6 trans am in the twisties, thats where they shine the best.
Never about the car, always about the mods. brand new 06' STI with little mods, running over 500hp, got spanked on by a 1999 Honda EX with a GT35R turbo, lol shit happens.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ricer piece of shit lol... that thing takes corners faster than you've ever tried... and for those who say it got owned.. its the driver that sucks at launching... my buddy would have at least tied that t/a... that was over 13 seconds... and a the track were to keep going or there was a turn hed totally get owned... the mitsu hits 280km/h
Quit making excuses the New Mitsu Got beat by a 20+ year old American car with old technology so just shut up about turns or launching or boost controlers and your lame excuses .T/A won EVO lost end of story
@Kingshti1 Whatcha talkin bout? Mitsus are not and will never be imports. The damn fools don't even know chrysler has been helping that damn company since birth.
@Texarmageddon Wierd my 4g63 has mitsu motors stamped on it...zomg the head does too....wtf did i get the wrong one?
wiki it, motors are mitsu...
chrysler/eagle/plymoth teamed with mitsubishi because the domestic market couldnt compete with the little baby motors from overseas. and instead of blowing the cash to get domestic small displacement engines to spec they combined forces (got a piece of the action)...Diamond Star motors was originally founded for work vans/box trucks
@liquidz28 Yeah those little baby motors are in more debt than chrysler. LOL, they were ditched by chrysler while chrysler being in debt. Awesomeeeeee. It was a joint heir thing kiddo. Can't be a joint heir if one company takes all the credit.
The Mitsus are fast, but it would be far from a foregone conclusion - the turbo V6s in the Anniversary GTAs were seriously underrated at 250 HP. It was the same engine as in the Grand National, but a bigger turbo. 0-60 times were in the mid-5-second range on stock rubber - seriously smoking for 1989. GM kept it quiet because it was faster than the Vette that year.
well lets see a stock evo with only 4 cylinders and a turbo, and a t/a with most likely a big block v8 in it and the evo barely lost by that much. you should just shut up. props to you Gexxer
Your buddy? Who cares what your "buddy" would do. You don't even know where the track this video occurred at even is do you? It's Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS) and it's 2000 feet elevation and not sea level where the magazine test times come from. The T/A trapped at 114mph, it would be tough for even a bolt-on EVO to trap at that speed (especially at the elevation of this track). Go get a clue fanboy.
That's gotta be a letdown to take a brand new Turbo Mitsu to the track with AWD only to get dusted by a 20 year old car with 20 year old technology and a V6. I saw one of those Turbo Trans Ams today for the first time. Beautiful car.
Thats bullshit, the FC turbo runs high 15's, the galant would be lucky to run 17's, the s13 even with the SR20DET swap will run 16's and so will the gsx. But those 2 are newer than the turbo TA anyway, that's a cheat even mentioning them, but they'd still lose. mk3 supra beat the Turbo TA, are you shitting me? I've seen 800 horsepower mk4s struggle to get to the mid 12's, how the hell do you expect a stock mk3 to beat the Turbo TA?
with 4 mods: full exhaust, intake, methanol injection, and a tuned ecu. it was stated that the jap cars could use a few mods and with these simple basic bolt-ons every one of those will be at 13 seconds in the quarter or less. oh and first year for s13 with sr20det was 89, and first year for eclipse gsx was 90. so what it was actually released at the end of 89 as a 90 model
The SR20DET came out in 89 and and gsx and you want to pass them off as 80's cars? Who are you kidding?
But for argument's sake even if you were to include them in the category or 80's cars (Of which they are not) none of those cars measures up to the turbo TA, and they will not hit those numbers that easily. Don't get me wrong I like both imports and domestics but don't try to sell bullshit here, there's no way bolt ons, meth and a tune will drop 1-3 seconds of your quarter mile.
they will all hit those numbers extremely easily.... and yes they will you beat your tta you need to learn about these import motors to understand how easily they can be quick
I know how quick these cars are, I'm not some proud American Musclehead, I like all cars, imports and domestics, and I happen to own and work on both, I just don't like people posting misleading information, which I feel you have done. The cars you listed will not hit those numbers on bolt-ons, tuning and meth. Let's be honest about things here. I can think of some imports that might be able to hit those numbers but certainly not the ones you listed. Do you actually race or even work on cars?
Dude try putting those type of modifications on both the TTA and a lets say a GSX, who you think will win? The TTA will. It wont beat a stock evo, but with only 250 hp it does 13s. Name me one import that could do that with only 250 hp.
Dude all those cars that you stated against TTA, arent even fair races. You're putting super cars vs a sport car. But yes i agree the TTA can do 13s with ease on stock. And i agree, no import could do 13s with minor bolt-ons.
Even though the Evo may be a lightweight and fast vehicle...the TTA is a factory production car that produced 303hp, the 250hp number was well under-rated because GM didn't want any other vehicle to outperform the Corvette in ratings...but because of the boost, the light weight 3.8L with pontiac engineering enhancements, made the TTA one of the best front/rear weight transfer vehicles in the GM production line. It can handle straight line performance as well as road course action! Happy 20yrs!
you ever see then trans am drift?? there all round great cars ...I had a 83' ta upgraded and would eat hondas in 3rd gear and a hand brake around turns
I'd beg to differ, the 3rd gen TA is one of the most aerodynamic cars ever produced, and the only car to ever serve as a pacecar for the Indy 500 with NO modifications. Its more powerful, more aerodynamic and lighter than the evo. The evo is nice but how the hell is a 4 door sedan ever going to keep up with that on the curves?
....especially that the F-body design was made for "trans am" racing back in the 60s..it carried on thur the 3rd and 4th gen vehicles! Based on design of the chassic the strut tower braces are high enough for partial or full adjustment from the factory, lower coil springs not only improve handlling but also improves the center of gravity. With the stock 245/50R16 wheels or the R17 "Ronal" wheels the TTA can easily handle road course action, more so then the evo....
wait did you really just call an evo out on a road course race against a transam..... please you need to learn to read write and count... count how many minutes an evo would spank this pile at the nurburgring. or any handling course that is
haha ok, considering that 2.0 liter motor puts out more factory horsepower than that turbo 3.8l v6 is embarrassing for "american muscle". in what world does that make me stupid and have have no pride?.... face
Displacement has nothing to do with engine size. Example: The 4.6 liter modular engine that replaced the 5.0 in the mustang was actually bigger and heavier than the engine it replaced. Imports have big heads and DOHC's, that makes them heavy despite their small displacement. Pushrod cam-in-block engines, are light for their displacement. Instead of comparing displacement I suggest you compare engine weight.
You're stupid. The TTA was one of the fastest car of that year, even faster then the vette. It shares the same motor as the Grand National/GNX, and holds a spot in one of the top 10 best engines in the world. Evo will never share the same reputation as that TTA. The TTA is extremely rare, and is very easy to modify for huge horsepower gains. And even if the evo has more power then the TTA, i think the TTA held its line on its own with only its 250 hp motor that does 13s on the 1/4 mile all day.
Dont get me wrong evos are quick, but when it comes to evo fans saying that the TTAs and Grand Nationals suck, then thats where we have to come in and prove them wrong.
Exactly dumbass. So obvoiusly you're saying that it sucks. Who the heck will call it a "pile" and then later on say its a amazing machine? Cant even admit it.
2.0, and i love producing more factory power than a motor with almost twice the displacement and that has 2 more cylinders. oh and the whole revving out to 7,800 rpm on stock cams and carrying power all the way through. with the grip of awd and those stop on a dime brembo brakes.... yeah your making a really good case for yourself here
Producing more factory power? Comparing a 1987 vehicle to a present vehicle.. Doesnt matter which had more from factory. The evo is probably pushing more boost to even achieve those power. And you cant launch a stock Evo at high rpms, you'll break the drivetrain/axles. You'll see most GN/GNX/TTAs beating Evos and other cars on youtube videos or in person. The fastest GN beats the fastest EVO in the world.
People think AWD is the fastest thing in the world when it really isnt. RWD is the fastest in the world. The fastest Eclipse GSX was a RWD conversion using the GSX motor. It was almost a second faster then when it was AWD. Do some research.
wow, my iq is dropping from reading your preposterous drivel. im done i cant listen to this special ed student ramble anymore. this seriously is not worth my time
Special Ed? LMAO. Dude you're the one that says you like so and so and then later say its a piece of shit, and now ur saying AWD is the best in racing and etc, meanwhile RWD holds the most records in almost every category in the racing world. You're ignorant.
while i wont disagree that there comes a stopping point for AWD traction/weight reduction benifit, i will say that for a daily driven/weekend track car. there is not better choice than an AWD car. because there is no need for slicks, it goes year round in any weather, handles great and gives grea 0-60/60ft times.thats why i dont understand when oldschool guys get so pissed at imports. EVOs and STis are daily drivers, they (usually) arent built to be 100% track cars.
of course because there is just that much more drag on the engine in an awd car and they are heavier . awd may be good for the hole shot but thats it .
If the TTA had the same amount of horsepower as a stock evo, the Evo has no chance at ALL. Face it, a 20+ year old T/A is a better overall car then that pos evo.
TTA ftw, if anyone has a video of a Evo X beating a 89tta post it up, until then.... quit being a bunch of whiners.. run whatcha brung and hope you brung enough... apparently the evo didnt have enough ftw
well due to the grainy video, it isnt absolute but the wing is that of a regular lancer not the evo X. and judging by the takeoff, that is not a ten....regardless of the highend, the evo would beat him off the line.....its good that he could beat a regular ol lancer...
all those cars u listed are well over 100k while the tta back in the day wasn't even a quarter of it so stfu (some guy wrote) This is to everyone who is a obsessive over the TTA Im guessing that you all are the type that say "I only drive american made vehicles their the best" Lotus Exige S beats TTA Ferraris/Lambos beat TTA Porches Beats TTA Bugatti Veyron could give TTA a minute head start & smoke it SSC Aero beats TTA American-Ford GT beats TTA Shelbys Beat TTA Saleens Beat TTA
are u stupid yes or yes??? that has to be the stupidest thing ive ever heard on youtube. and ive heard some pretty stupid shit.. ok mr. need for speed let me give u the "low down" not one of those cars (as expensive as they are, run under 7 seconds (1/4 mile) . fastest ls1 in the world ran mid to high 6 .. im pretty sure uve never even driven a car period .. or even know how to change a tire. kill yourself
Wow AnimeGod1990 u really need to learn your facts, all of those cars u listed are exotic-foreign pieces of shit that cost 300k(minus the Fuckstang)and aren't even in the same class as the TTA. Way different cars! go watch you pokemon!
Maxshuty,TTA goes 0-60 in 4.6 secs on stock form. The TTA has the Buick GNX motor,The GNX goes 4.9 on the drag strip on stock.Their turbo motor is a BEAST. In fact its rated one of the top 10 motors in the WORLD. How often do you come across a rear wheel drive v6 with 250 hp doing 13's in the quarter mile? Point is the TTA is 20 years old, and can still outperform modern cars. Dont get me wrong, evos are fast, but if you want a legend, the TTA is the way to go.
You cant base things on theoretical internet numbers, and you also cant compare Lotus's Ferraris's Lambo's etc etc. to a TTA, two COMPLETELY different classes of cars. There is to many factors to drag racing. Yes the evo could have more money put into it, or a better driver, well the TTA could have a bad driver put in it and be stock. Who cares ppl, the TTA is one bad ass ride, very advanced for its time, if you like the evo cool, but dont have a hissy fit because it lost a race...
Well put my man. Those turbo V-6 motors GM made were way ahead of their time. This is a stock vehicle almost 20 years old built to be a daily driver. This max schmuck lists all the cars from this generation that are faster, true, but all built specifically for racing.
Now since I posted that I'm never gone hear the end of how "Those cars cost tons of money" well, I would then say take a 2005 Lotus Elise which you can pick up for about 27k- it wins. Get over it. It's got nothing on most cars. Its just a body with an engine in it--theres some Mustangs breaking 1000horsepower- big whoop, its TOTALLY Custom. Take two totally STOCK cars to the drag strip--now thats a true race. I've done some research- STOCK TTA 0-60 5.5 sec., STOCK Evo X 0-60 4.9 sec. IT WINS
This is to everyone who is a obsessive over the TTA Im guessing that you all are the type that say "I only drive american made vehicles their the best"
Lotus Exige S beats TTA
Ferraris/Lambos beat TTA
Porches Beats TTA
Bugatti Veyron could give TTA a minute head start & smoke it
SSC Aero beats TTA
American-Ford GT beats TTA
Shelbys Beat TTA
Saleens Beat TTA
Quit whining about how good the TTA is. Ok, it beat an Evo in ONE RACE. Have it race a souped up Evo, that I would love to see.
You ricers don't know shyt. The TTA would destroy an EVO on the road course. Guess you don't know what WS6 means.
And to all of you saying 20 years of work and tons of money: A bone stock TTA will whip an EVO all the way around, including gas mileage. Also to you guys saying you see more of these 20 year old cars in the junkyard than your 15 year old junk, They only made about 1500 of them. I have never seen a TTA in a junkyard.
Also if you look around a bit you will see TTA's running 9's.
The reality is in 1996 when Subaru rolled out vehicles that were riding next to Chevy LT1s..and GM the game was over..what did Gm do..nothing...think about it in 9years..GM went from a LT1 camaro with 275hp to a LS1 with 310hp...5k more for the SS package which got 15hp more..its all a joke..here it is 20 years later and they are just getting to 400hp with heavy cars that arent that much faster than cars 10years ago..Gm should have had 400hp stock camaros in 2000, instead they quit in 2002..

no ones being a fanboy here....
im just saying that some old POS with a turbo can barely impress me. old technology is old for a reason.
maybe putting a newer motor in that trans am would help that POS along down the track.
i hate when people call other fanboys when its not a fanboyism at all trying to explain how bad a specific platform is....
i never seen a trans am in that body style ever do any good... it only served its purpose as a shell for pro-stock drag race cars.

@rotor13 those cars ran mid 13's from the factory, they were only built in 89, had the buick gnx motor, which was the fastest car from the 80's. they are the lightest fbodies ever built. I have an 88 trans am. it has an ls1 in it, it hauls ass, runs low 12's with bolt ons. the tpi motors that came in the third gens were crap, they had low hp, and only ran about a mid to high 14. this particular car is very special, its the only fbodie from that generation that was fast.

@firechicken76 Pontiac was also the only other car manufacturer besides buick to be allowed to use that engine. Those TTA's outran most anything on the track at the time. My brother used to have a genuine TTA pace car but he sold it years ago...they are sick as hell.

@FullThrottle214 How do you figure? the evo runs a mid 13, well so does the 89 turbo trans am. a set of drag radials would probably be low 13, high 12's.

The Mitsus are fast, but it would be far from a foregone conclusion - the turbo V6s in the Anniversary GTAs were seriously underrated at 250 HP. It was the same engine as in the Grand National, but a bigger turbo. 0-60 times were in the mid-5-second range on stock rubber - seriously smoking for 1989. GM kept it quiet because it was faster than the Vette that year.

I've seen 800 horsepower mk4s struggle to get to the mid 12's, how the hell do you expect a stock mk3 to beat the Turbo TA?
BradZeckser 3 years ago
with 4 mods: full exhaust, intake, methanol injection, and a tuned ecu. it was stated that the jap cars could use a few mods and with these simple basic bolt-ons every one of those will be at 13 seconds in the quarter or less. oh and first year for s13 with sr20det was 89, and first year for eclipse gsx was 90. so what it was actually released at the end of 89 as a 90 model
myskylinegts 2 years ago
The SR20DET came out in 89 and and gsx and you want to pass them off as 80's cars? Who are you kidding?
But for argument's sake even if you were to include them in the category or 80's cars (Of which they are not) none of those cars measures up to the turbo TA, and they will not hit those numbers that easily. Don't get me wrong I like both imports and domestics but don't try to sell bullshit here, there's no way bolt ons, meth and a tune will drop 1-3 seconds of your quarter mile.

Dude try putting those type of modifications on both the TTA and a lets say a GSX, who you think will win? The TTA will. It wont beat a stock evo, but with only 250 hp it does 13s. Name me one import that could do that with only 250 hp.

Even though the Evo may be a lightweight and fast vehicle...the TTA is a factory production car that produced 303hp, the 250hp number was well under-rated because GM didn't want any other vehicle to outperform the Corvette in ratings...but because of the boost, the light weight 3.8L with pontiac engineering enhancements, made the TTA one of the best front/rear weight transfer vehicles in the GM production line. It can handle straight line performance as well as road course action! Happy 20yrs!

I'd beg to differ, the 3rd gen TA is one of the most aerodynamic cars ever produced, and the only car to ever serve as a pacecar for the Indy 500 with NO modifications. Its more powerful, more aerodynamic and lighter than the evo. The evo is nice but how the hell is a 4 door sedan ever going to keep up with that on the curves?
BradZeckser 3 years ago
....especially that the F-body design was made for "trans am" racing back in the 60s..it carried on thur the 3rd and 4th gen vehicles! Based on design of the chassic the strut tower braces are high enough for partial or full adjustment from the factory, lower coil springs not only improve handlling but also improves the center of gravity. With the stock 245/50R16 wheels or the R17 "Ronal" wheels the TTA can easily handle road course action, more so then the evo....

myskylinegts 2 years ago
Displacement has nothing to do with engine size. Example: The 4.6 liter modular engine that replaced the 5.0 in the mustang was actually bigger and heavier than the engine it replaced. Imports have big heads and DOHC's, that makes them heavy despite their small displacement. Pushrod cam-in-block engines, are light for their displacement. Instead of comparing displacement I suggest you compare engine weight.

You're stupid. The TTA was one of the fastest car of that year, even faster then the vette. It shares the same motor as the Grand National/GNX, and holds a spot in one of the top 10 best engines in the world. Evo will never share the same reputation as that TTA. The TTA is extremely rare, and is very easy to modify for huge horsepower gains. And even if the evo has more power then the TTA, i think the TTA held its line on its own with only its 250 hp motor that does 13s on the 1/4 mile all day.

myskylinegts 2 years ago
Producing more factory power? Comparing a 1987 vehicle to a present vehicle.. Doesnt matter which had more from factory. The evo is probably pushing more boost to even achieve those power. And you cant launch a stock Evo at high rpms, you'll break the drivetrain/axles. You'll see most GN/GNX/TTAs beating Evos and other cars on youtube videos or in person. The fastest GN beats the fastest EVO in the world.
Pracerdohczx2 2 years ago

while i wont disagree that there comes a stopping point for AWD traction/weight reduction benifit, i will say that for a daily driven/weekend track car. there is not better choice than an AWD car. because there is no need for slicks, it goes year round in any weather, handles great and gives grea 0-60/60ft times.thats why i dont understand when oldschool guys get so pissed at imports. EVOs and STis are daily drivers, they (usually) arent built to be 100% track cars.

In fact its rated one of the top 10 motors in the WORLD. How often do you come across a rear wheel drive v6 with 250 hp doing 13's in the quarter mile? Point is the TTA is 20 years old, and can still outperform modern cars. Dont get me wrong, evos are fast, but if you want a legend, the TTA is the way to go.

You cant base things on theoretical internet numbers, and you also cant compare Lotus's Ferraris's Lambo's etc etc. to a TTA, two COMPLETELY different classes of cars.

Who cares ppl, the TTA is one bad ass ride, very advanced for its time, if you like the evo cool, but dont have a hissy fit because it lost a race...

Take two totally STOCK cars to the drag strip--now thats a true race. I've done some research- STOCK TTA 0-60 5.5 sec., STOCK Evo X 0-60 4.9 sec. IT WINS

This is to everyone who is a obsessive over the TTA Im guessing that you all are the type that say "I only drive american made vehicles their the best"
Lotus Exige S beats TTA
Ferraris/Lambos beat TTA
Porches Beats TTA
Bugatti Veyron could give TTA a minute head start & smoke it
SSC Aero beats TTA
American-Ford GT beats TTA
Shelbys Beat TTA
Saleens Beat TTA
Quit whining about how good the TTA is. Ok, it beat an Evo in ONE RACE. Have it race a souped up Evo, that I would love to see.

You ricers don't know shyt. The TTA would destroy an EVO on the road course. Guess you don't know what WS6 means.
And to all of you saying 20 years of work and tons of money: A bone stock TTA will whip an EVO all the way around, including gas mileage. Also to you guys saying you see more of these 20 year old cars in the junkyard than your 15 year old junk, They only made about 1500 of them. I have never seen a TTA in a junkyard.
Also if you look around a bit you will see TTA's running 9's.
