:confused: This is my first post to the forum so please forgive me if I am in the wrong section.
I am looking to purchase either an 87 GN or an 89 TTA. While I am not new to the "muscle car" arena (I have owned several 60's muscle cars) and I have read up alot about the turbo V6 cars and what to look for, my question is "what can I expect to go wrong with the car and what should I expect to change".
I am hoping to buy a relatively stock vehicle and enjoy it on sunny weekends only. This will not be a daily driver. Other the the occassional launch down a private road (just to scare myself) I will not be racing the car either. I fully expect to eventually having to learn the art of fine tuning these cars and swaping out injectors, turbos etc. but what can I expect out of the stock items as far as reliability and performance is concerned.

I know this will be going down an old road for many of you but any help/advice I can get is greatly appreciated.
