> [@Gl@re](#): > > the mark VIII LSC also ran a 7 sec 0-60 and high 14’s in the 1/4 🙂 it also has an IRS, and air ride suspenion. And your point? They also cost way more in their time… Also i could buy a stripper Mustang GT back then for less and kick the Mark VIII’s ass… ---

FYI back in '95 i owned a 1984 olds cutlass supreme,good for 13’s in the 1/4. I traded a 1989 Dodge Datona ES for it.The guy wanted a car that was better for his wife than his beefy Olds lol.I was quick to say “yeah i’ll trade”… That Old’s got like 13 mpg lol.It could pass anything but a gas station…On a good day i might get 15 mpg. ---

well…seems like a heavy mustang favor, which cannot be argued, I still love a good 5.0. Since price was never brought up, I will take a crack at the list myself… Skyline (obviously not something anyone would have easy access to) NSX Starion Shadow turbo Just wanted to throw a few out that hadn’t been mentioned, If I had to choose for myself id say GNX all the way. Hell even a 95 integra GSR would have been quick for those times id imagine. ---

> [@Danny\_Boy](#): > > FYI back in '95 i owned a 1984 olds cutlass supreme,good for 13’s in the 1/4. :tup: In 95 I bought my first car. An '84 Monte Carlo with a 305. Thing was sick. Could almost spin the inside tire if i floored it on wet pavement while turning. Probably ran about 20s in the 1/4. My vote would go for the Fox body in this instance. Hard to beat the performance for the price. GNs were faster but they were more $$ and a hell of a lot rarer. ---

> [@challengermike](#): > > this car does look familiar to me.Did a girl(blond hair)Maybe named lisa and her boyfriend maybe named mike own it?I used to hang out at mighty and industral park around 95 and it seems to me a girl and her boy friend had one that looked the same as this car. Dude I am sure I know you from back then, lol. That car was owned by an asian kid named Danny Lee, iirc. It had GT40 heads/intake and a B303 cam. That pic was from '91 or '92. I know the girl you are talking about though. Hers was an automatic and slow as balls. She was pretty hot though, she has a brother named Mike. Her boyfriend at the time was some guy named Todd who had a red 5.0 GT with chrome pony wheels. When you say “industrial park” i’m assuming you mean just east of NFB between Sweet Home. We used to meet back behind one of the buildings with like 20-30 of us, arrange races and then line up down one of the straights and come back to the building. My car in '95 looked exactly like this one: ---

I MAY have a pic of it if you ever took it to lancaster. What color was it? I remember a real nice green one that ran pretty good. ---

> [@Willybeen](#): > > NOT I! Not legally… in 1993-1996 that was when my friends and i hung out and street raced every weekend night.In that time there was only a few really fast cars around,A green mustang named (pony express),and friend of mines 67 chevelle.There were a bunch of ok performance cars around but nothing you would be afraid to run from a light and worry about getting your ass handed to you.Nitrous was rarley seen on the streets,there was a few running it but not many.As for the imports they were no threat.So if you had a car running in the low 14s high 13s you were doing ok out on the streets.This was just my experance,elsewhere im sure it was different. ---
