Ok slight change of plans, since they had a mineral gray on the lot I was able to get the premium package for 22,200 drive away. They also had the windows tinted a $279 retail. So not as good as I would like but a good bang for the buck. Now like in 87 I'll wait for the people to figure out the right setup. This board reminds me of when the fuel inj/roller cams in 86 came out every one was trashing them for the carb GT of 85.

After getting rid of the salesman i wraped it to 100mph and it feels like my 87 after the mods it comes on strong around 3k all the way up to ?, didn't want to wrap it to much shifted at 4.8k.

I can tell you my 87 had a lot more torque, but I had a hard time not breaking the wheel loose. Wish I had these 17" wheels on it unless you can put the power to the ground it takes a lot of hp to overcome wheel spin.

Think I'll be happy all my racing is over 100.....I drive 100 miles a day on the Xpressway, so this power band will do just fine.

Thanks

any thoughts or tips let me know
