ACTdryice Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 Does the Grand Illusion still exist? Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 I have no idea what you are talking aboot... Quote
ACTdryice Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Posted February 8, 2014 Sorry, it is/was the pre production TGP, I guess the concept / test car. Like the pikes peak racer with the body kit of the production TGP. Quote
94 olds vert Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 I dunno, but this car here is a 1988 TGP with 5 speed. Quote
ACTdryice Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Posted February 8, 2014 Someone else for sure knows more then me,,but that might be it. Just wondering what ever happened to it. You can see the plenum is not what the production TGP's would become. Quote
intern8tion9l Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 I'm so glad they changed the plenum Quote
Turbo v-sick Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 Does the Grand Illusion still exist? It was reported to me that in 1996 Mclaren had a red Turbo Grand Prix with a tan leather wheel in their back lot. So there is a possibility it's in a collection somewhere. Quote
Heartbeat1991 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 That looks like the valence is not a separate part from the bumper cover. I like that much better. Quote
mfewtrail Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 That looks like the valence is not a separate part from the bumper cover. I like that much better. In multiple pictures it appears to have a seam where the valance meets the bumper cover. If it's two piece, it fits very well. One piece would suck if you damaged it with having to pull the whole bumper cover rather than the valance. Quote
Euro Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 That looks like the valence is not a separate part from the bumper cover. I like that much better. Like Matt said, I think it's just the lighting and angle of the picture. If you look at intern8tion9l's signature, his front bumper also appears to be 1 whole piece. Quote
Turbo v-sick Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 To me it looks one piece but lighting, angle and my tired eyes could be the problem. Quote
RareGMFan Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 Was the concept car featured in " The Grand Illusion" the same car that supposedly had 305hp, and ran 14 flat in the 1/2 mile? Quote

ACTdryice Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Posted February 16, 2014 It's in the GM collection. Took a bit of work to find that out. Quote
Euro Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 Really? That's cool, where'd you find that? Quote
