Had a '91 Probe GT and a '90 626GT Touring. Both fast, great handlers, reliable, impossible to find now. Lots more gen2 Probe GTs available in comparison. Would love to find a 1st gen GT, but not holding my breath. Got three Supra Tubos later on in life, faster yes but not as much fun and had problems like head gaskets, overheat after shutoff, etc. Yes, metal head gaskets and turbo timers solved those particulars - never needed aftermarket fixes for Probe Gt cuz it didn't break, mine went for 150k miles until it lost a duel with a deer jumping in front of it. Walked away, not a scratch on me. If you find a turbo GT, grab it quick or let me know ...
Well, I grabbed mine at the speed of light. 200k km driven on it, but everything runs as smooth as butter. Yes, the paint is not in the best condition, but it drives like a dream and I'm proud to have such a rare car, in europe aswell.
Here in America we have shorter gears in our GTS first gen manual over there for some reason you guys have longer gears and you can get an extra 10 12 miles per hour out of them would love to have a European transmission in my American GT which tops out at around 1:31 miles per hour now that it's 30 something plus years of age I only hold it to about 125 127 mph
The Probes/MX6's in your part of the world must have higher 5th gear...mine tops out at 222km/h (around 138mph) as it hits the redline :( Can anyone confirm that cars in Europe have higher top gear..if so I want one!
Hello, so my has 5 courses, but I do not know how they are translated. The Europeans are full throttle were made for the German motorways. best regards
Yes, I think maybe the gear ratios might be longer, I wish I could find out for sure because I would if they are longer gears I would try to get one of those transmission :) Thanks for the replies.
I love how you're just casually flying along at 240kmh and lemmings in 80hp diesel shitboxes just wait for you to get close so they can pull out in front of you at 120km to pass someone going 5km slower
Hallo, es ist ein Auto und es macht das für was es gebaut wurde, Fahren. Und es soll nur zeigen das der Wagen von 1992 immer noch zu Höchstleistung im stande ist die zu bringen. Ist mir schon klar das man ein fast 30 Jahre altes Auto nicht so stressen sollte. Ich danke Dir für dein Kommentar. Liebe Grüße

Nice one, I have a 1st gen GT too... but it needs some work. Your model is stock?
Daniel Hello, ;-)
I've watched this video about 20 times since February. What kind of turbocharger are you using? It's so much better than the stock IHI RHB5-VJ11.
Hello, nice that you liked my video. I still have the original turbo in my car.

Sehr gut, nur für 's Video als Beweiß, sonst reichen auch 160-180km/h auf der Autobahn. 😀
