The cars get a bad rap for no real reason. Maybe some of the early to mid 80s deserved it but the late late 80's thru 92 actually did very well. I have prolly 200k on a few and I totaled one set of injectors, one fuel pump and one alternator as actual failures on mine when still stock. The only low mileage issue was on my 91 GTA I bought from Provo with 19k on it. Had been stored a long time and I think the injector cleaner killed them off.
All have been buried more than once. All have been to the strip multiple times and a couple even road coursed a little way back when.
For shits and giggles, a TTAs boost gauge will start quivering at a 100mph, 135mph is about 6 psi burying the speedo which is marked to 150 is about 8-9 psi. You have a lot of pedal left still.
