This weekend I raced my freinds 80's Trans am GTA with a 5-speed. I rode in it and it seemed pretty fast. Then later we decided to line em up. I figured I would get smoked but I was side by side, even ahead a little till he would shift, I was right with him up to 95MPH then he started gainin a little. Does anyone know what these cars run in the quarter mile. I would like to know to give me an idea of what I run.

96, RC, 318 Auto, Gibson headers, JBA Y-pipe, carsound cat, dual exhaust, K&N intake, IAT adjuster

Stock they should run mid to low 15's which should be on par with your dakota.

I have an 88 GTA that i built. When it was pretty muck stock it would pull a low 15 or even touched 14s when i had her tuned well. But since he has the 5 speed that means hes running a 305 instead of the 350 and that is more toward mid 15s. Still mad that they wouldnt build a 350 5 speed :(

5.2LDak you shoudl be running high 14s with a good launch.....and if you have gears like 3.92s. I ran a 15.13 with my 3.55 and my mods but they were on street tires and could only take off so easy. With slciks or drag radials I now should be running 14.6s

Today I Found out it wasnt really a GTA. I thought it was because is had the 350 in it. He pulled the orginal motor (305) and tranny out of it and put in a 350 with a T-5. He just took it too the track yesterday and ran a 14.8 with street tires so that seems about par with my dakota. Yes I do have 3.92 gears. Hes has the 3.23's in his trans am.

GTAs came with both 350s and 305s. It was an option you could get the 350 with auto or for $300 less get the 305 with a T-5

Thanks for clearing that up. I was a little confused about the whole GTA thing. I dont think my friend knows that the GTA's came with 305's so maybe his is acutally a GTA. He got it from some hillbilly and most the car was stripped. Is there any way to tell If it is a GTA or not?

Shades of the "Mopar Action" 1993 story of a '93 RC 5.2 3:92 Dak running against a 275HP Trans-Am 6-speed, and a 5.0 Mustang GT 5-speed! The Dak ran 14.9 bone stock, and 14.4 with a 25HP MP computer, K&N drop-in, and some air inlet and tranny shift tweeks. Running 14.4, the Dak lost to the T/A by only one length in the quarter. The Mustang couldn't get out of the 15's.
