Info Copied from Wikipedia:
1989 was the biggest year for Pontiac with respect to press coverage, romotions, nd performance. It was not well known at the time, ut in 1989, ontiac produced the quickest[9]and fastest[10]American production car. The "Excitement Division" was also asked to provide a car to pace the 73rd running of theIndianapolis 500; sadly, t would be the final time a Pontiac would ever receive that honor. The Trans Am model was now 20 years old, nd it was time for another anniversary edition, ith this special 20th Anniversary Trans Am to be based on the existing Trans Am GTA. Through a unique partnership between Pontiac and an engineering firm called Prototype Automotive Services (PAS), he Trans Am GTA was equipped with a more powerful version of theturbocharged Buick 3.8L V6, riginally developed for theBuick Regal Grand National, nd the Turbo Trans Am (TTA) became the vehicle Pontiac supplied to pace the Indianapolis 500. Ultimately, 555 TTA replicas, ated at 250hp, ere produced for sale, ive of those being test cars. But afterCar and Drivermagazine tested the car, ogging a 0—60mph run in 4.6 seconds, nd a standing quarter-mile in 13.4 seconds at 101mph, hey called the 250hp rating "exceedingly modest," estimating the actual output to be "closer to 300hp." They also subsequently reported that it was the "quickest 0—60 sprinter available in any US production-car showroom — at any price."[9]TheCar and Driverevaluation produced the best acceleration performance of any main stream publication to test a regular TTA press car from the Pontiac fleet, artly becauseCar and Driverrealized that the turbo boost must be "preloaded" to get maximum performance figures. But short-distance sprinting was not all this car could do well. Early in 1989,Motor Trendran their top speed test article "Flat-out Fastest American Cars II-the Sequel." During this test, he TTA did 162mph, nd was the fastest production car evaluated in the test. However,Motor Trenddeclared the winner to be a 1989Corvette ZR-1, hich went much faster, ut was not a production car (it was a prototype that Chevrolet intended to release for production in 1989, ut did not come out until 1990).[11]So by a slight technicality, he TTA could be called the flat-out quickest (0—60 4.6 sec.) and fastest (162mph) American production car in 1989. It is interesting to note that the only constraint on the top speed of 162mph was that the TTA was being limited by the engineredlineand automatic transmission (with which all TTA's were equipped). When PAS installed a ZF 6-speed manual transmission into one of the cars, hey were able to reach 181mph.[12]Perhaps more importantly than the performance tests provided by the industry magazines was the fact that these cars were capable of much faster acceleration times — with minimal modifications. In fact, ith $300 in new parts installed, 2.5-second quarter-mile runs were achievable — without manually shifting gears or the need to trailer the vehicle to the track! Because of this, he TTA has gained a cult following among amateur racing enthusiasts.
Pontiac sub-contracted the job of engineering the TTA engine modifications to PAS. The narrow engine bay of the Trans Am required the use of differentcylinder heads, hich happened to have better flow characteristics than the old Buick heads. Special stainless steelheaderswere made specifically for the project as well. The heads, eaders, long with more refined tuning of the boost and fuel curves, ll added up to a more powerful package than the older Buicks. PAS was also in charge of testing and assembling the engines. Most TTA's came with T-tops and leather interior, ut there were also hardtops and cloth-interior cars. And every TTA had an automatic transmission — the TH200-4R, quipped with overdrive and a torque converter clutch. The three actual pace cars were randomly selected from the production run, nd sent to Indianapolis to pace the race. Thus, he pace car replicas were closer to the actual pace cars than any replica previously offered; the only difference between the replicas and the three actual pace cars was the addition of strobe lights and safety equipment to the latter. In addition, he TTA was relatively economical to drive; it returned 24mpg on the highway, hile the only cars (besides theLotusEsprit Turbo SE) that could approach its performance at the time (Ferraris,Lamborghinis, tc.) were far more costly, nd providing only around 10 to 12mpg. As has been proven to be the case in subsequent years, elying on a small engine for cruising, nd a turbocharger for power, rovides an exciting driving experience while returning impressive fuel mileage.
The rarest 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Ams are the hardtops and convertibles. Only 40 hardtops were made. Only three convertible TTA's were built by ASC,[13][14]one of which was bought by the president of PAS, ith the other two falling into private hands. Only two are generally known to exist, owever, s the ASC order log shows records for only two TTA convertibles.[15]The five test TTA's, ecause they were for pre-production use, ere pulled off of the assembly line without regard to color, nd therefore were not necessarily white. At least two of these test cars were sold to private individuals, o there are at least two extremely rare, on-white, actory TTA's in existence; in fact, ne is known to be red.
