Difference is, America back in the day had a special option system. So you could go a great big engine, by pretty much down grading your brakes... But yeah, fing fast. One dealer modded car they went so far as to say you will run a 10.x sec 1/4 or your money back.

It's just strange to see whats happening 30 years later.

They were monsters...something like 178mph top speed. Officialy 430-450hp, but years later it was revealed they had more like 600hp. They has 12.5:1 compression, cant recall if they required 103 or 106 octane fuel, and didnt come with heater or fan shroud to try and dicourage ppl from buying them as road cars. Basically they were the muscle car equivelant to the GT3 Porsche :D

1.9 seconds for a 0-60 MPH in a rear wheel drive? I'm a bit sceptical about that.

It'd have to have MASSIVE tyres (like 400mm wide), probably slicks, and perfect surface for traction. What do these things weigh? Less than 1000kg?

Lingenfelter claim their hottest 427 kit is good for 3.2 0-60 on "ET street tires", ie drag radials. This is beleivable. 1.9 is stupidly fast.

I think he means 60ft times at the drags

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
