  • So I drove a 83' Mecham Racing Tran Am tonight.

    Freakin' mint! Had a 305 with non-EGR Edelbrock intake manifold, Tri-Y headers and y-piper, Mallory distributor, Holley 600 carb and a Doug Nash 5-speed. I forgot if it was the WS6 suspension or the Tallon all from Mecham. 56k original miles. I shifted from 1st to second at red line and the rear end broke lose. Mecham REALLY woke up that 305. I wish I had $7000.

    thats cool...

    how does it compare to a 3.4 or 3.8?

    im asking this because my neighbor has a 87 or 88 Pontiac GTA... its an automatic, mint condition as well. has those gold spoke gta wheels and some kind of performance or suspension package.. i really like it, the hood looks great imo. im considering about asking him if he would sell it to me. i seriously need to ask him if i can test drive it sometime.. :banana:

            The Mecham was near 300 hp. I would compare it too an LT1 but the GTA would be a quicker than a 3.8. The 305 has 205 HP and 290 something torque and the 350 has 210 hp and 315 tq. I would take it!
