Default New toy...

Just picked up my new toy, dont know wether I will race or restore it. 85 Mustang GT, last of the carb cars and factory headers, has a .030 over 302 and 5 speed, the suspension is still tight but it needs a few cosmetic touch ups and the interior redone...this thing is quick, fast and fun.

Nice grab. Those are great cars when it comes to cheap speed.

Cool.
A friend of mine, years back, had a late 80's or early 90's LX Mustang set up for autocross.
That car was a trip to ride in.

It doesn't beat the 350 in the Camaro...I've raced many a 5.0 and they always lost.

Now a 305 Camaro..yes = dusted.

The same 350 that you could only get an automatic in? Lol........

Pretty easy for an automatic driver to beat a stick driver, if the stick driver didn't know you wanted to race and wasn't prepared for it. But at the track it might have been a different story.
