It's funny to think that a car with 235hp that went 0-60 in 6.6 and did the 1/4 in 15 sec was a top performance car 20 years ago. Man, we've come a LONG way!

What a great video, nice find, thanks for sharing!

That teal sure did look good in the video.

Noticed the CD player?

First, get your foot off the bumper douche.

Second, it will chirp second? Heck every stock one I've had will spin 2nd and chirp 3rd lol.

Cool vid, but it's been posted before

15 flat? Must have had his aunt Edna driving it.

I've seen much faster than that published. Even that Motor Trend comparo vs the Z28 showed 6.2 and 14.4 seconds and I think I've seen faster elsewhere. Still Ford really started p*ssy footing around especially starting 94 and going forward while the competition was really stepping it up.

This very site claims 5.6 and 14.3 @98 via Car and Driver. Optimistic or realistic?

It all depends on driver skill. But those times in the video are definitely on the slower end and those C&D times are with a skilled driver in optimal conditions. IMO, realistic is probably 5.9-6.1 for 0-60 and 14.5 for 1/4 mile.

Of course, with a supercharger you get to enjoy 0-60 in the 4s and 1/4 miles in the 12s (or better). Now that's high performance!

^^^ What Z meant to say is, he needed to add a supercharger to keep up with the good stock 93 cobra drivers.

I was trying to respond DB, but my tears of laughter screwed up my keyboard!

Straight from the 90's!

Looks like it was a later model though, with the intake.
