How fast were our cars bone stock?

[turbowrenchhead]

Just wondering what kind of times the stock hot-air cars put out. I personally have a t top one so it is a little heavier.

14.9@91 with 140,000 miles. This is a fully optioned car with t-tops. It weighs 3850 with my 160lbs frame in it.

I'v heard of them going 15 flat, but most publications could only pull off a 15.5 @ about88. I dont think that they power braked it.

Motortrend 1983 showed 15.88 @ 87.7! Which was still better than they showed for the '84 vette!

im thinking you worded the tread wrong think it should be how slow were our cars stock...

if i remember correctly my first pass ever with my car was a 15:10 then after getting use to getting it out the gate it got to like 14:60's and that was bone stock every thing but new timing chain and new fuel pump (both stock replacements)and 181,000 miles on it ....

Maybe they were "slow", but I'm pretty sure the '84 TR's were the fastest american cars made that year!

 

[REDS HOT AIR]

yep i agree ... so what do you call other cars of our years ?

(hint)
oink.oink...
