That has a good deal to do with other forums and other websites listing D80 as a surefire way to tell a real T/A. It's not. And my contention is that it's not exclusive to T/A based on allegorical reference, but I do not have proofs one way or the other. Tom Vaught and others have made a strong case for the existence of D80 cars but again, I haven't seen any hard evidence.
I did come across some other interesting tidbits. The first dealer bulletin announcing the T/A showed that it was to have the same Ram Air induction package as the Ram Air III, rather than the T/A hood which was eventually released on it. Is there a prototype out there with standard Ram Air hood?
