Whooped an '85 GT with my Wife's Volvo

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.
