94 Lightning
#22
My buddy bought a 93 new and it went 15.11 right off the showroom. Now it runs low 10's with the factory A/C blowing and still looks stock except for a cowl hood and chromed stock wheels. It is rare to find one running faster than 13's though.
PS When it was still stock we were at a muscle car shootout and got in on a dyno challenge. His truck made 224rwhp bone stock and my car at the time was a bone stock 89 turbo trans am and it made 230rwhp. I remember his disgust when I told him he was only a K and N away from making the same power as a stock V6 !!

A 4.8? Is that a transplant?

It's better to race and lose than to not race at all.
