1992 Formula TPI383/T56

92 Pontiac Firebird Formula, white with charcoal interior, factory TPI 5 spd car, 1 of 4 built like this according to Compnine. Original interior in great shape except missing headliner, converted to 4th gen console, has CD player w/ aftermarket speakers in stock locations. Originally a Carolina car, no rust. 12x,000 miles, can't remember, one small dent in front RH fender. Could use paint, 85-90 rubber spoiler is cracked per usual. Custom front air dam, still have the factory stuff. 3 sets of tires and rims.

Professionally built for endurance 383 SBC, 4-bolt mains, Patriot aluminum heads, Bore 4.031/stroke 3.75, flat top pistons, 11:1 compression, 280XFI roller cam. Custom hi-flow TPI setup (hand-built prototypes for the early hi-flow runners by Edelbrock etc), T56 6-speed transmission, Ram clutch. Factory ECM, dyno tuned w/ custom Eprom, 290 rwhp/370 rwtq. I'm sure there are more HP to be found, but plenty of grunt as it is. I do have a complete FAST bank-to-bank system available for anyone who wants to coax the last few HP out of it. Factory 9-bolt diff w/ 3.70 posi. LS1 front discs, 1LE rear discs, Hawk pads, Koni adjustable shocks/struts, aluminum 1LE driveshaft. AC delete, PS, PB, no other options.

Super solid 3rd gen car, reliable, fast, and fun. Built to run and drive, gets 20+ mpg highway with the deep overdrive. Not a showcar, excellent track car. No trades, scams, or test pilots, and I don't need any help selling the car. It is located in Calgary, AB. Asking $5900 US.

PM me with your email address for pics, I can't see where to attach them here.

2013 1LE Camaro

Looks like a pretty competent package, and that guy can DRIVE! Not bad for 4000 lbs, I thought.

What are you guys running for lap times at VIR? What cars, what mods? I wonder how competetive the 1LE will be in SCCA, CMC, etc?

Discuss. This may be my next track day car, once they're used and affordable . . .

3rd Gen vs 4th Gen

Thinking of picking up a 1LE car for some roadracing. Anyone have any direct experience with both 3rd and 4th Gen cars? How do they compare? Which is the better car for a novice? Which is lighter, faster, easier to drive? I suppose a Player's Car will always keep its value for 3rd Gens, but the genuine 1LE 89-92 cars rarely come up for sale.

Thoughts?
