Well I traded cars with a friend of mine for a few weeks, so I've been driving his 85GT. Its got a 88 motor, intake, 600 carb, full exhaust and 3.73s. The car runs really hard. I never thought stock heads could run so good. The car pulls hard from right off idle till the valves float. It ran against my cousins 68 mustang w/ heads/cam/intake etc, and beat it by about 2 cars, it goes 105mph in the 1/4....

Anyways I pulled up at a light w/ a LS1 Z28 and two guys in it. It was an A4. He got me about 3/4 of a car off the start, but I pulled back on him about a 1/4 car through first and another 1/4 car on the 1-2 shift. By the time I hit 3rd I was just a nose ahead of him and held it till 4th gear. We pulled upto the next light and he wouldn't even look over. I got on the freeway and was going slow waiting for him to catch up and go again. But he comes flying up my *** and then swerves around me at about 90mph doing a ricer fly by. I didnt even bother chasing. But I now believe a stock headed, stock cammed 5.0 can beat a LS1, cuz I did it.
