1987 Pontiac Trans Am GTA digital dash

An old video taken of my 1987 GTA accelerating at just over 3.4 throttle, not quite wide open. It's a 305 TPI with the 700R4 automatic 4 speed, with 3.23 rear gears on Goodyear GS-Cs. Completely stock, about 70000 miles at the time of the video being shot.

U sure this aint a fake gta? Looking on gta source page all about gtas it says digi dash is not for gta models. I've asked many hot rod owners they agree u wanna see a gta see my videos

@wengertime89 Not sure what page you're looking at, but this one seems pretty clear about digital dashes and GTAs. Look at the modelfeatures.html page of the gtasourcepage. As for the hot rod owners you've asked, well I guess they aren't so knowledgeable after all. My GTA is authenticated by GM Canada and PHS, so there's nothing fake about it, including the digital dash RPO. So that should clear up whatever misinformation you got. Congrats on your GTA!

best car ever built by americans!

[TripleTransAm]

@hayabusafmw LOL! Your enthusiasm is nice to see, but once you own one of these you realize just how badly screwed together they were! I used to joke that every screw was crossthreaded from factory on this car! And I feel bad for those who had to suffer the "bad paint" (Van Nuys cars?). Nonetheless, still pretty much my favourite car on the planet. :-)

i hope the digital dashboards will come back in the near future...

seriously, the only new car i know that has a digital dash today is the honda civic... -.-

[TripleTransAm]

@HoLDoN4Sec I think there are a few. I thought the Prius has one? Possibly other electric/hybrids. The new Lambo has a real cool digital setup, with customized gages. As for Civic, I'll be picking up a recent one this afternoon... we'll see how it works out, it seems to have the same LCD setup for the speedo as on my GTA.

@gittyupalice96 Everything is shitty to you huh ? Your jealous because you don't have nothing but shit HAHAHA how ya like that. Sorry about your luck.

@hardtobluff 4th gens > 3rd gens from a performance point of view. Stock for stock, the 3rd gens feel like they outhandle the 4th gens. How do I know? I'm the original owner of a stock 1998 WS6 6 speed. The two cars have different feels. Same reason I also own 2 1978 Trans Ams (one a base L78 automatic, the other a loaded W72 WS6 4 speed). Each one has a different character, and different strengths.

i have a 1987 trans am gta and it has something like that

[wengertime89]

Yeah ur right, did more searching must be a bunch of idiots I asked lol

[ciaranmcguigan35]

where can I buy these dashboards and do you know if they will work for a 1986 firebird?

[DarkSlayer487]

@TripleTransAm You can say that again. You can't drive down the block in one of these without SOMETHING screwing up. Wether its the engine or the upholstery, something is ALWAYS wrong.

@TripleTransAm So sad but true. I had my rebuilt from the ground up. First thing i told those guys was. Find some better screws for the dash lol
