I wonder what my Buick would run with $60,000 invested. Only $35,000 more to go.
I wonder what a nice 87 Mustang would run with 35K worth of a 600+ BBF and a monster turbo!
Its reality. The numbers dont lie. Dont hate.

LOL but does it have a cup holder and bluetooth?
If I remember back in the day a new GN off the show room floor with an off road pipe tune and air cleaner would run 12's, no comparison to 10's!!!.
Lets not forget these cars where close to $20k back in the day not exactly cheap in 1987 by any means.
The new GT500 is simply bad ass and I would love to have one!!

There is no food or beverage in my car, and it is so loud, bluetooth is useless.
I have alot of respect for these new factory muscle cars, especially the Mustang. The Ford Mustang has finally managed to beat The Camaro after trying for 40+ years. I am glad there are fast cars other than the Vette or Viper. If I had to pick a new muscle car, it would be either the Challenger or Mustang. I love the look of the SRT8, but it can't compete with the new GT500. The new Camaro is a joke, not a big fan. The only new GM vehicles I like are the trucks. And that's because living in the rust belt, the GM's hold out longer than the others.
I guess the Mustangs can get to me because every cruise in I go to looks like a Ford dealer, most of the owners think they have the fastest car on Earth, driving around in 1st, and revving. Most Mustang owners are more attention hungry than the average douche Harley owner (and I own Harleys, mine can idle though).
How about that 10.00 at a tick under 140? On a month old car. Unopened motor.......
You do realize that your 20K GN back in 1987 is a 41k car in todays dollars!
Yep just not a ford fan I had a procharged tang did nothing for me at all i had a ss turbo charged camaro it was ok but truly the t type,s and gn,s is were my passion is i had no buicks for a while now i have 3 again love them all.2 t,s and a gn. no disrespect in tended.
None taken, as the challenge of making what was considered your grandmothers 6 cyl. back in the 80's, blow the doors off some v8 Mustang, or better yet a 454 Corvette was what it was all about. I just have to give credit to Ford for making one really nasty pony car that makes 10 second passes look easy, and I remember how many years and motors I went through to get my first 10 second GN pass. Technology is the key, and money is the lock that it opens. Can't wait to see the first STREET Shelby with a 4.o Lit. Whipple, and 105 injectors run 8's and drive back home after doing 160+ at ATCO! Also hard to believe that the Shelby comes from Ford with a tune that only let's the throttle open 80% of the way! Guys are picking up 80HP with a tune to open it 100%, a CJ TB, and some straight pipes!

As a GM fan this makes me a little upset. But you cant lie the car looks so good and is fast as sh!t. I'd hate to see it with 20k thrown at it. My generation is lucky (me 24) you can go drop 60k and run circles off of %80 of the cars on the street. I'm behind the 8-ball i have very little mechanical knowledge with a 25 year old car. But i like it that way. It's good when you work on things yourself. When one of you guys spanks one of these new Stang's you can think to yourself my time and patience paid off and i didnt have to spend 60k to do it.
Magazine articles and videos are produced to sell parts.Two of the Mustang shops are notorious for not disclosing all the work performed on their "banner" rides.Press cars are the same.They have little changes to sell the product.Stone stock cars (properly run in) won't run the number.I'm not a believer in a lot of these tests when a beaten up press car may be one of the contestants. Show me a test where both store bought cars (properly run in) and unmodified by an owner or performance shop face off. I have not seen a new untouched coyote (for example) run the number (12.7 ish) yet. Nor have I seen a stock Shelby run the number.I'll bet that a proper race between Shelby and ZL1 would be surprising.
ROTFLMFAO........and we see that you've kept your car completely STOCK!!!!!!.... Should run mid 14's on a cool day!!!!!
