Glen [being the owner of a darn nice UrQ] sez before mods it stomped tar out of rustangs, etc. >>>off-the-line, 0-30, 0-60, 1/8 mile<<< I have re-learned the age old lesson of never arguing speed and "who would win if raced" unless you are standing at the track helmet in hand! My earlier observation was just that: My observations based on what I have seen happen. The 5.0 GT's, z-28's [and vettes, for that matter] while not my cup-o-tea, were money takers box stock--if driven ba*** out. If you say a stock '85 UrQ beat 'em up, then, being my Audi kin, I believe you. I have no idea what had been "modified" on the 5.0, nor do I know how he chose to leave the hole or what he chose as shift points. Those things make the difference between beating cars he shouldn't and losing to cars he shouldn't. But, lemme in your friends ride and, I do believe, YMWV :) Friendly banter, not a flame:) Bruce
