Weren't there two Turbo T/As out over time? One being the 301 motor back in
the '70s-early '80s sometime, and the other being the '89 with the 4.3 turbo
that was the same as the Syclone/Typhoon?

Tim,

When I said earlier POS I meant the earlier turbo Trans Am,
not the ones with only "motor".  I do agree, I would save
the Buick (with different heads on the Pontiac) motored
Turbo TA and also save the last year (2002?)
