Featured Car - Bobby Twiford's 1989 GTA with a TTA motor


Wait a minute ... that's no ordinary GTA!

Bobby loves the shock factor when he opens the hood and nobody can understand what all the "stuff" is. Of course, all the "car show experts" are completely baffled by a V6 nestled between the shock towers and often "advise" Bobby to "put a 350 in that thing". Bobby just lets them rant, since he knows there's little hope of getting them to see the "Darkside".

Bobby attends school in Phoenix, AZ at the moment, but is originally from Long Island, NY. He delights in the relative obscurity of the car (just another GTA) until he spools it up and everyone wonders what the heck that noise is! He's even garnered respect from the local hardcore VW enthusiasts ... grudging respect, since they hate anything domestic, but it's hard to ignore this car when it blows past you!
