Z28 Turbo

hello all, i just got back from looking at a Z28 Turbo Injected. I think its stock, and im not sure on the exact year. it was forsale and i just looked at it and stuff, didnt drive it or sit in it, i gotta call the owner and stuff. I know its a manual tranny. Anyone here know anything about this model and any flaws? and any pros?. thanks

Re: Z28 Turbo

he probably means a 305 TPI, but assumed the T (or was told) that it ment turbo or something.

Re: Z28 Turbo

It's a fuel-injection system

Re: Z28 Turbo

No such thing as a turbo camaro, at least not stock, maybe an aftermarket sticker? But also a MANUAL in a 3rd gen. z28, if its a true z28 and the transmission is the original, thats a rare car indeed.

Re: Z28 Turbo

It was TUNED PORT INJECTION, i.e. TPI. There were no Camaros that came stock with a turbo.

Are you thinking of the earlier TTA? The 301 (4.9 litre) turbo? Now that was a dog...
