my new playtoy

I bought a brand new 89 5.0 LX Notch stripper, bought it home, and within a few hrs: New mass air, pulley kit and headers was street racing it that night. The street racing was great back then, had IROCs, GNs, 5.0's, not fast cars but well matched at the stoplight. Wish I still had it

Nice score, I bought a 1988 white GT convert in 1990, same interior with every option. Was a fun car but going from my '69 Nova SS396, or my '76 Vw Bug and '76 C10. The interior of those were tight with the leather seats and I'm not overly big, 5' 10" 230.

I ended up BREAKING 11 T5 trans, 1 factory engine and a couple modified engine. Best stock I got out of it was 14.53 in the 1/4. Then with long tube headers, McCreary dirt stars and with nitrous was 11.70. Never used nitrous with the modified motors and went 11.30 best.

WAs a fun cat with a big stereo.......

Agreed! That was my brother and I’s era. If you had a 12 sec car, you were king chit back then.
