I dont know much about older trans ams and my friend is about to get a regular 84' trans am and its in the shop getting some rusted parts replaced( never said aftermarket or OEM) and is pretty confident he can take my 95' v6 with pacesetter headers, dual flowmasters, cold air intake, throttle body spacers and red brake calipers(Scientifically proven to make your car faster). Will there be an upset?

 

A stock '84 TA had the LG4 305 with about 160 HP.....

 

I'd say its a drivers race, run it out and video it so we can see what happens

 

3.8 or 3.4? If it is the first you might have a chance, the second I dunno.

 

The 3.4 Camaro is a 16.4 second car. The Trans Am HO is a 15.9 second car. With your modifications, especially the calipers, it should be a good race. What, if anything, was modified on the T/A?

 

Haha i'll let you guys know. Should be fun

 

torque wins races, even if that 305 is only 160hp it has quite a bit more torque. but a better question is, how tired is that old 305?

 

...And how tired is that old 3.4 also?

 

i raced a 90 bird 305 with my 3.4 5 speed and dusted him

 

If you're racing on the street whoever has a manual will definitely have an advantage (assuming there's no stall involved).

If only my calipers were red...
