There you go, the Magazine with the 1988 prototype Grand Illusion (305HP TGP)
In other words first of its kind

Tim

Hell ,Tim said that he use to subscribe to Hot Rod magazine back then, He might just have one for ya Krenzy. :cheers:
I bought a copy off of ebay for $4.45 shipped. The guy I purchased from had two more copies at that price, but they're gone now(RareGMFan on the boards bought one of them, someone from W-body or here probably bought the other).
This guy has a copy here along with a March issue as well:

I figured it had to be someone we knew. :icon_mrgreen: I need to search for other TGP ads and such. I really want to find the poster of the TTA, TGP, etc. that I posted a picture of here a few years back(I believe it was some sort of racing advertisement and not from a magazine though..)
The Magnificent Seven
I have it lol
IIRC TGP, TTA, Fiero, TGA, LeMans coupe, Bonneville SSE, and turbo Sunbird.
Not the magazine article. ;) I posted a picture of an actual poster in that same thread. There were actually two posters(one has writing on it, the other doesn't).
EDIT: I'll look through my backups and post a picture for reference. The site I got the picture from is no longer around and the mirrored version if it has no photos. :icon_cry:
If you find the link or picture, post it up!
I found it.

↓ new siggy sig! :icon_mrgreen:
LOVE the sig!
Where's that picture at?? I've never seen that one! I've seen the similar sketch of the TGP Pace Car in the 1990 Pontiac brochure, at the very end it has a painting or drawn picture with a bunch of different Pontiacs in racing...and the TGP was in there.
Sig is a screencap from Days of Thunder. I took a ton of screencaps of every part of the movie that showed the TGP(actually two of them, but they're shown together for only a brief amount of time) I might post some of them later...there's quite a bit of nice sig material among them. :icon_mrgreen:
No the picture I was asking about is the one you posted with the TTA...is that your own personal pic or one you found on the net?
In Days of Thunder, you only see the two TGP's together for like 6 seconds, and it's immediately after the first "Gentleman, start your engines!"...I just watched it last night again.
Ohhhhhh, I wasn't paying much attention when reading that reply. :laugh:
That picture was on a TTA website that a TTA owner started. He had a memorabilia section there and that's where I got the picture. The site is still around, but the memorabilia section no longer has anything listed. I think the guy listed the poster as being a very limited edition that Pontiac produced back then. There's another version with no writing at the bottom. I found old posts on a TTA board stating that "they pop up on ebay from time to time." That post was dated 2003 or 2004. I search for them every now and then on ebay, but haven't came across any.
