haha did you see those awesome driving gloves. haha you know he knows how to drive because of those gloves. lol. Sweet find. As a owner of a past grand national at 245 h.p. rated and the tta's had aluminum heads and bigger intercooler,better turbo and only got 5 more h.p. damn love how anything g.m. advertises that nothing can ever beat the almight corvette.

and one thats kind of funny because it never happened. Ford had contemplated putting the 351 in the 1989 mustang, and check out that lincoln town car, its like its got the newer front end with the old styling for the rest of the body

That first video was badass!
Did anybody else notice on the Ford video after the segment on the Mustang and the Town Car they had a segment on American built Honda Accords that were sold in Japan. I couldn't help but laugh when they said that the left hand drive Accords were a status symbol in Japan.

Anything left hand drive is still considered a status symbol in Japan.
It means the car was directly imported from another country.
The fact that an Accord is a status symbol is laughable though.

Notice how they didnt give 1/4 times for the GNX lol. I was unaware there was that much difference in power between the GN and it. Sounds to me like a mid-low 13sec car, probably faster than the Vette of that year though, so..lol.
Nice finds!

considering a stock GN gave a stock L98 Vette a run for its money (both were 245hp and probably weighed the same) yeah the underrated 276 hp GNX (factory was 276 but realistic hp was ~ 300) would eat an 87 C4 for breakfast.

Awesome find.
My brother had a TTA. Bought it with 5K miles, sold it 3 years later with like 5.5K miles hahaha. It was just a plain sick car. I will never forget the first time he took it out; turning out of my street the tires were still cold, the second the turbo spooled up we got sideways. We didn't realize just how powerful the car was and it was bone stock.
I couldn't tell for sure because of the quality but did that TTA they test have cloth interior? I know that was very rare.
