Nope. Never considered NOS on my car though as I indicated some guys toyed with it. Something about a fogger nozzle mounted on the inlet pipe.

I am pretty sure it was considerably more than a 1989 GT/LX 5.0, and I bet it is still more after you add about $3500 for H/C/I, exhaust, etc. To me, it doesn't really matter what it runs stock, it really matters how much total $ you have to spend to be safe+fast+reliable.
Not trying to be a jerk, I just don't think your remark that "all those mods, just to get into the 12's" is very valid.

The TTA stickered for $30,784 in 1989 which equates to somewhere around $50,000 in today's dollars. I didn't make enough $ at the time, nor would I have been fool enough to spend that much in the 1st place. You can find a nice low mileage example today for around $15,000. Or if you can spare having a few miles on it you can get'em somewhat cheaper. Not a bad deal for a rare car that runs like a raped ape, handles like a Porsche and the mileage of a Mustang.
