That wouldn't have made the 85GT much to respect.

No. Since it took off like my LX (when stock), I'd imagine it was a 5 spd/holley combo. Hell, how do you know it wasn't modded some?
Believe it or don't, Car & Driver (or Motor Trend or R/T...can't recall) rated the top speed of the 850 T5 Wagon at 150+ mph. Most other magazines reported 144-145 as a top speed. With it, I've out-accelereated non-turbo 300Zs and hung close with mid 80's vettes. Makes 'em really pissed off. This is on the freeway of course.
