No sweat bro. Have fun back in 1987.

Jazz is gay? Dang I gotta quit listening to that stuff.

Who are you trying to fool? You know you're a die hard Winger fan.

87 was the last year of speed density. 88 MAF came out. That's when we started making them really fast. The camaros and vettes couldn't touch them. But the 4 cylinder cars were saved for body donors. Just letting you know what happened in 87.

Yes you were also a junior in high school. It was the third year of the four best years of your life

Mustang Freak

Well there was this car called the GNX...

btw, a little tidbit I haven't seen posted here when the old 5.0 is discussed... the reason the Mustang's pushrod V8 was rounded up to 5.0 is because 4.9L was already assigned to the 300 cu in I6 when they converted to liters.
So it wasn't so much that Ford fudged the 5.0, it was to avoid confusion between engines.

Hey wasn't that car a, you know, 6 cylinder? LMAO

AlsCobra

Nah I was high those four years and don't really remember them. I had fun after that though.

In 1987 I was 9th grade. And it was the year I first bought Hysteria on cassette.

At least it wasn't Winger

AlsCobra

Still a wonderful machine and bravo for bringing it up. Yes it was a turbo 6 but dang it was greatness.

Mustang Freak

I know I was kinda pissed how that beast made V8's look!!!

That I didn't know. I think five point o rolls of the lips easier too. One thing I know for sure is that the 300 was in fact a great motor. The one we rebuilt had a hole blown in one of the piston heads and it was still running fine. We had even toed a trailer with it like that. It wouldn't die. When we rebuilt it we bought some aftermarket intake / manifold setup to separate the two and added a 4 barrel carb to it. That motor generated monster torque. Hey, maybe they should have put one in the Mustang ay? lol

cdynaco

High school sucked!

AlsCobra

It still does. Along with the 3.8 turbo T.A.
And let's not forget the Cyclone and Typhoon. But all those proved to beat the corvette and GM wasn't having any of that for long.

Mustang Freak

I know freaking GM!!!

Let us not forget the 89 Trans Am that shared the turbo 3800 setup.

Nah, staying up for three days straight in the freezing cold and sleeping on the ground with a rifle as a pillow sucks. Praying to God that if you get attacked in the middle of the night while you're sleeping in the middle of the desert that you take one in the head so its over quick; that sucks. High school was a cake walk.

AlsCobra

GM will not let the flagship be beat for long. I'm surprised how well they let the Camaro perform recently. The ZL1 and Z28 has to be knocking on the door of the base Vette in performance. Maybe they just don't care about that anymore. That new Vette is just beautiful.

I way prefer adulthood. I have intelligence, wisdom, money, authority, respect, freedom of choice, and no sumbiches telling me what to do.
