My first TT experience

Twizted_3KGT · #1 02-11-2005, 04:00 PM

First off I have a 94 SL that I used to have some respect for. So today at work this kid brings in his 92 Stealth TT, and since I plan to buy one come springtime I did the test drive for it

. OMG, HOLY SH*T, I need a change of underwear...these were my reactions when I hit the gas. Needless to say, I was amazed how ridiculously fast it was. Unfortunately, it made me not want to even drive my car anymore lol, the whole way home I was like "man this thing is slow", when just the day before I was thinking "i like this car". I wasn't sure if I would like it cuz I thought it would be just a little bit faster than my Formula 350 Firebird...but boy was I wrong!! So now it's in my veins that I NEED one...i'll definitely be buying one ASAP.

He had a couple mods on it, I was hoping I could get a ballpark HP figure from someone. From what I could see he had a chrome Y-pipe, some kind of catback, a BOV...No timer or boost controller I don't think...but I don't know what those look like...there was a boost gauge on the steering wheel though so that might have been one of the two.

Just thought i'd share for all you SL'ers

yeah, my little sib in school has a 95 tt stealth. I was like damn, that was just riding in the car. So you know I hook him up with all the old exams and notes I have, lol.

yeah I dont think i know anyone that owns one an doesnt love the machine..
people get the impression camaro's mustang's an vet's are fast they dont even compare - the model i lost a race to was the z06 vet i mean we were on the garden state parkway in new jersey here - i was goin about 170 an the dude dropped 6th an just pulled away from me - i was like man that car is fast - but if u race any other v8 u totally got the upper hand - in some cases you normally wouldnt beat em but its still possible if you know your car an can drive it right....my buddy has 72 mustang mach1 with a 351 clev. in it an some minor engine mods - i saw him pass me i slowed down to about 15 put it in first cut the wheel an railed on it spun it right around an i was on his ass in a matter of seconds i pulled up along side of him an chatted then he got on it an i just dropped it in second an blew his doors off like he was parked - he followed me to my house an said hey u didnt give me a right in that monster yet...

They are amazing cars - if you get one - dont crash it or sell - I know i can never get rid of mine [smile]

i have to say for my part that my old firebird 350 formula convertible felt a bit faster than my friends vr-4 and when we raced the cars it was a close one but the formula lost. also the first weeks when i got my car i was like "man this car is sloooooowwww"

Good luck Thourun. Hope it works out.

yea, thats the bad thing about testing a TT when you own an N/A, you'll find out that if your a ""power enthusiast"" that you dont want your car anymore other then for its looks.

Twizted_3KGT · #8 02-12-2005, 10:46 AM

lol yep...now all I can think about is getting one...there was a good one in NYC that didn't meet reserve on Ebay (about 2 hours from here)...i'm about to call him up and make an offer. Anybody want a near mint SL 5-speed w/ 97k? lol

Getsum3kgtsl · #9 02-12-2005, 12:14 PM

Hey, got an idea. We can sell our SLs and get a VR4, you keep it for 6 mos and I keep it for 6 mos, a new time share, lol.

Twizted_3KGT · #10 02-12-2005, 07:59 PM

lol, well the first 6 months would be ok...but when it came time to give it up...i think i'd have to take it and run lol
