Trans Am vs Mustang....who will win this race??

[Craig 94 TA GT]

I think the very general formula is to add 8.5 seconds to the 0-60 time.

That would give a 13.2...which sounds close. The stock GN was 4.9 0-60 in 86 and 87, 13.9 1/4, so its pretty close. Hey Joe, mind if I send you my GN to have some work done on it? lol j/k

I think those figures are a little off. The stock 0-60 times were in the mid 5s, very traction limited. The 87 GNX I thought was quoted as the 4.9 second 0-60. That had the torque arm rear suspension setup and a couple of motor tweaks. Seriously, if you ever did want a build up on yours, I could put together one heck of a package. Now as another comparison, after the new combo, a couple of 0-60 blasts on street radials was in the 3.2 second range and hard to keep it hooked up. It really didn't want to hook until mid second gear....... deceptively quick.

I've noticed some books/magazines quoting the GN at 4.9 0-60 and the GNX somewhere between 4.2-4.7. Might have been different testing conditions. Yeah, I've looked at doing the torque arm conversion from Kirban, but I'm not sure I really want to irreversably mod her. I think I've got a good idea to start with, what do you think? Here it is...

ATR 3" SS Exhaust System
ATR Turbo Bypass Valve (blowoff valve mounted on the I/C)
ATR Polished Intake and Upper Plenum Pipes (gotta look good too lol)
ATR CAI
ATR 160 Thermo
ATR Wastegate Control Hose (maint.)
ATR Radiator Pressurization Kit
ATR Intercooler Scope Extension
ATR Pinion Snubber
ATR Suspension Kit
ATR Aluminum Driveshaft and Safety Loop
ATR Intercooler Hoses and Straps (again, maint.)
ATR SS Braided Oil Feed Line
ATR Superpump and Wiring Kit
ATR Stage 3A Turbo and Bellmouth
ATR Stealth 7th Injector
ATR Headers with 3" Downpipe

Yes, I know, that's a lot from ATR lol. I know I need to add a good set of control arms for the rear...any recommendations? Anything I should add/take away? How did we get off the subject? lol
