For a V8, its bad.. for a ford, its good...
I ran a 14.2 totally stock 4600lb car with 200,000mi on it. I would say that is pretty **** good. Considering I have yet to see a GN with that kind of mileage even on the road.
BTW...my car has the original engine and original ******. Never been modded or rebuilt.
Now if memory corrects me, the GN of 86-87 ran a 13.8 stock. Back in 86-87! I don't need a turbo to go fast. I don't need an exhaust to go fast. I have true duals from the factory.
Flame someone who has as many mods as you do for going 14 in the quarter, not someone who has taken a luxury barge down the track and turned a 14. Way to go Tbird! Good Time!

****, atleast someone knows.
some people will never understand....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
What are you running? Mark 8?
muhahahahaa...
u htink that's fast? and then ur dogging a car 12 years older that was quicker back then, with alot less technology??
i'll agree teh dohc 4.6 is an awesome motor for modding, but it begs for forced induction....and before u think i know not what i'm talking about, i happen to drive one every so often as my mominlaw owns a mkvIII, abouthe same vintage as urs, with less miles. great ride? yes...quick and responsive??? nope....not like the ls v8 in comparision...
low end and midrange punch on the na modular is lacking hard. especially when compared to other v8's found in that age range...but throw a blower on it, ie: cobra...adn the 4.6 comes alive...otherwise..dog...
but that's just my experience...

and i know of a few gn's that can eat most anything...
try ten second quarters and 25mpg getting to and from the track...and it's not the baddest gn they own....lol...
most cars can be built to achieve alot of things....it's all about brand preference and $$$$ to invest...jsut like audio....
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/peace.gif.2db28b618ed8d1964ebbe2f5021d2c39.gif

Oh yea, I've seen vids of GN's smoking Vipers, and others.
I've also seen a Supercoupe spank a Viper also.
I'm not bashing a GN, GN's are badass vehicles. Along with cutlasse's and all of those cars. 442 anyone?
I was just stating I've only removed things from the car to achevie the mid 14. Not bad for a Luxury vehicle. imo. Esp with 100k miles, bad valve seals, and a excessive EGR flow //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

Last time I checked, there wasnt 7 second Tbirds....
Dude, my car is like 9 years older than yours, less tech, and Im still faster stock.
If you knew anything about turbo cars, true dual is obsolete...
Your car is slow dude, thats fine, but dont think 14 sec is amazing... Hell the LT1's did low 14's stock,and we consider them slow, so regardless if you are in the fam or not, 14 sec stock or not, is slow.
Although, I highly doubt you can have a 10 sec Tbird that you can drive to and from the track, and still get over 20+mpg... Hell,theres a 9.0 TR that looks completely stock, and is streetable.
As for high mileage GN's...you really dont know much about GN's do you? Theres a 170,000mile 12.1 car, mine has 150,000 on it and its a mid 12 car, a 200,000mile car that runs low 11's...and thats just in our local club...
Stock block,and some stock ******. Run 11's on your stock block with 200,000 miles and get back to me.
