I guess I missed this before. It's a 87 Turbo T. Identical to a Grand National in every aspect except color. Most people call them T-Types, but they dropped the T-Type name in 86 and just called them Limit T or T package in 87. There were only 8,547 of them made. This one has T-Tops and a few power options. Currents mods are Walbro 340, 50# injectors, 15" K&N cone filter, and catback exhaust with test pipe. I always leave the test pipe uncapped. It makes a lot more noise that way, and you can really hear the turbo. It's best time so far is a 13.6@103. 2.2 60. Next mod will be a convertor and if everything works out it might run 12.8-12.9 with a good 60.

Nothing wrong with 3800lb sleds! I usually don't run until it gets late and most people have left. I just like to watch everybody acting a fool acting they are the greatest thing ever.

Re: So yeah, I signed up on another forum.

Man, I love those old grand nationals/Ttype cars. They are so understated, but so mean looking at the same time.

Oh, and welcome!
