I have an old hot rod magazine that says the third gen firehawk ran a 13.4 . I dont know what a turbo T/A runs but I want one now if they can beat a firehawk.

But I've seen stock TTA's run in the 12's and in the 14's. Depends on driver, traction, weather, etc.
Mine with a chip, thermostat, and K&N ran 13.0. So mine was probably 13.3-13.4 completely stock.

But you are forgetting one really important thing, launching. With my car, anybody could have done it. Leave it in drive, bring the car up to 2000, nail it. 1.88-1.90 short times all day. That's what I got the first time out in it.
I don't think you'll find too many Firehawk's running short times like that.

For $55, I could have ran 12's. $25 for Thrasher 92 chip, $5 for 160 thermostat, $25 for a K&N, paper clip to lock converter at line( worth .2 and 2 mph). That would have put me at 12.8@106.
I went 12.1@111 on all the stock stuff. Turbo, injectors, downpipe, exhaust, suspension. I did that on Nittos. That was probably a couple of hundred dollars to get to that point.
Now I'm 10 mph faster but only .3 sec. quicker. New turbo, 50# injectors, 3" downpipe, SLP cat back, etc. Probably $2000 with those mods.
But the tranny went so that was $2000 for a converter and billet pieces inside the trans to make it last.
Tuning has been a big problem, at least launching the car. Can't build boost because it runs so rich at low speeds. But I think I've finally got a handle on that. Hopefully low 11's next time out.
The turbo TA's are about the easiest cars to make fast and go fast for cheap.

Great thing about the 2004R, lock it up on the line and it won't stall like a 700R4. No lockup in 1st gear. So it locks as soon as you go into second gear.

Several theories why it was underrated. 5hp less than Corvette. 250hp was the rated limit for the 2004R so they kept it there for warranty. Either way, it was way underrated.

Anyone that would sell an 8K mile mint TTA for 13K I'd like to slap. A low wholesale price for the car in average condition(minor blemishes and wear) is $15K going up to $23K I believe for a pristine one. Why people undervalue these cars is beyond me. It's better to light a match to them than sell them recently. Prices have been going up lately though.
Mine will possibly be up for sale once it is completed, I have bills and am looking for a house soon, priorities change as life and marriage go on I guess.

I'm thinking of getting a GTO but the TA would have to go first. We'll see....

also, the GNs for 86/87 were always rated at 5 more hp than the Vette of the same year. why people always say nothing is rated higher than the Corvette is beyond me when the real facts are so out in the open

Rob, if you sell your car I'm driving down to MD to slap you lol
but for the original question at hand...it's a driver's race..personally I'd take a TTA...easier to mod, I wouldn't care about modding it...plus if you know how to tune them the LC2 is a better motor in my opinion
and there is no way a stock TTA is running 12.4's bone stock, maybe with mostly stock parts..but when we say stock I'm talking down to the paper filter..

Ooops my mistake...yes the Tubo 'TA is '89 ( my typo ).
I understand Motortrends "margin of error" is 0.3 seconds (give or take).
Again, these are Motortrend numbers on these "stock" vehicles LOL.

I think the only thing that is "wayy off" is people discrediting publications/organizations like Motortrend, Car and Driver, etc etc. All I hear is "this sucks" and "that sucks", blah blah blah. I would think these guys get their hands on vehicles that are as "true-to-stock" as possible. I wouldn't say that there numbers are "bang-on" but very close. When I hear people say "My friends stock bla blah blah pulled off 1 second faster in the quarter" sounds utterly rediculous. I think many of us motorheads understand how much work and money may be involved in just gaining a fraction of a second ( let alone a full second or more ) out of our vehicles in the quarter mile. I'll give more credit to these car publications then people who say stuff like that.

well I have a friend that has 3 TTA's and when they were ALL stock(down to the orginal paper filter) they all ran 13.4-13.6 range. YES, I said STOCK. 14.2 out of a TTA is comical, as is a 14.8 out of a 93 formula lol
now with the TTA, a lot depends on the weather and the driver..but like I said 14.2, BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH 14.2 out of a 300 horsepower car(and that 250 HP rating was done by GM on purpose, most TTA guys were getting near 300hp at the wheels when they dyno'ed their TTA's)

go to the track and see how dead on they are. Take for instance the EVO, some mags have them running 13.2's, I've YET to see one in stock form break a 13.6..now I'm not saying it's not a low 13 second car but you have to take what the mags say with a grain of salt..
One magazine(can't remember which one) has the LS1 fbody's as 14.2, LMFAO, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

What should be the red flag is the LT1 cars. The only difference between a Firehawk and Formula was a Ram Air hood and 17" tires. The exhaust was optional. But either way, a 1.2 sec difference! That has to raise the There is nothing different in driving either one. 25hp doesn't make over a full second even if the it was across the entire rpm band.
And I think that Motortrend used to say how they raced a car. No power braking, no fast shifting, leave at idle, etc. Nothing "race" related in the way they drove a car.

I have yet to see any 1/4 miles times in any sales literature for any car that GM sells or has sold. Maybe in some magazine, but GM doesn't advertise 1/4 mile times for any car PERIOD!

and in 89, in their brochure for the firebird they DID in fact list them..from the LO3 firebird all the way up to the TTA,,,

Like I said, they don't advertise 1/4 mile times because it is impossible to say what a certain car will do. There are way too many variables involved to make such a claim. It depends on the options the car has, the driver, etc. That is why GM and just about every other car manufacturer doesn't advertise 1/4 mile times, but hp and tq. It is a much more accurate way of showing a car's performance. In a sales brochure you will find what colors are available, sterio options, interior options, engine hp and tq. Wheel and tire combinations, etc, but no 1/4 mile times anywhere to be found. Think about it.

That is word for word what the brochure on the TTA says. My 84 Camaro brochure says 15.2 also. I guess I'll have to dig them out and take a picture.

Like I said, they don't advertise 1/4 mile times because it is impossible to say what a certain car will do. There are way too many variables involved to make such a claim. It depends on the options the car has, the driver, etc. That is why GM and just about every other car manufacturer doesn't advertise 1/4 mile times, but hp and tq. It is a much more accurate way of showing a car's performance. In a sales brochure you will find what colors are available, sterio options, interior options, engine hp and tq. Wheel and tire combinations, etc, but no 1/4 mile times anywhere to be found. Think about it.
