My friends 86GT, PI stallion converter 3.27 gears AOD, K&N Filter, no silencer, 14 deg. timing= 14.3@96 mph.

Could it be possible that the car youi raced might have been say an 82,83,84GT? Bone stock these things would be a high 15 (which wasa actually quick for a stock car back then).

NoSloPK the SVT Contour could have made that much power, was there traction. I think those G-Techs are off anyways aren't they. I know that the rice machines have a hard time finding traction.

I have a buddy with 320 hp (big turbo) at the wheels and with drag radials he barely dips into the 12.xx's with trap speeds of 114-115. He says the 60' times are HORRIBLE.

The stock 85-86 should be in the 14.40's with someone with fairly decent drag-strip experience. Even with the hi-way gears, the 60ft. times may be terrible, the top end should make up for a lot of it. The person driving should never see 4th gear at all. You shouldn't even tach. all the way out in third for that matter.

I'm sorry but I'll have to strongly disagree any decent driver could pull 14.40's in a stone stock 85 or 86 GT 5spd. It would take an excellent performance to coax those numbers out of those car's in bone stock condition. Obviously with free mods like timing, removing some weight, (icing the intake, removing the silencer on the 86) those numbers become more feasable when driven well, but not from the factory.

A good pass for the '87 GT would be 14.40's. With freebies and very good driving real low 14's.

[86GT]

I agree with Unit5302 on this one. The 85-86's wouldn't see 14.4 bone stock. They don't have that kind of power. At best 14.6 as I stated earlier my friend's car ran 14.7 and he's a very experienced driver. I remember trying to race my brother in his 88 LX and sure, out of the hole we'd side by side (while we were both spinning) but second gear came along, and he was gone...Stock vs. Stock that is...

Regarding my friend's SVT Contour, he got it back from the SHO Shop last week. After tuning and upping the boost to 10 lbs., it is reported to make 295 hp and 238 lbs of torque at the wheels. Of course, I'm always a little skeptical of claimed hp numbers.

Whether the hp numbers are real or not, well, the drag strip doesn't lie. We'll be testing it later this month.

My friend has an 85GT (carb). All I had done to my 87 GT (at the time) was BBK shorty headers, off-road H, and catback. We were dead even until about 45-50 then I started to walk past him. He whines that he had more gas than me, but I had a passenger.
