    could the 0-50 have to do with the 55mph speed limit for part of the time?... could have just been marketing... good question :)

    Ding ding ding, we have a winner, no more callers please! Pick up any 80's car magazine and you will see all of the cars and ads as 0-50.

    It happened before that my Midget ads that I have hanging up are 0-50.

    How is it I haven't seen that Xr4ti!!!! That is beautiful.

    I rode in one last month at an autox. I sure miss that old turbo pinto motor.

    What about these!!!!! God awful draw-thru carb'd turbo....but my FAVORITE fox body.

    I am really surprised no one mentioned the Turbo Regal or Grand National.

    The only time a Grand Nat is grassroots is if your DD rhymes with niclarin and ends in F1 and you buy a Bently for your 16 year old.
    Sweet car, but hardly GRM if you ask me.....but then again, you didn't haha.

    I just noticed the AFRs on that dyno graph. Speaking of 80s turbo goodness, how do we feel about 80s factory turbo car tuning? Nice, huh?

    Vane Airflow Meters suck ass.

    When you guys are saying that the Grand National is not Grassroots are you talking about a GN or a GNX? I know the GNX's are rare and not even sold in some areas but GN's were not that rare.

    The regular Grand Nationals are bringing a decent amount of money now.

    It's not about rarity, its about whether or not it's cheap. Any 80's E36 M3box that costs more than $1500 aint cheap (for a E36 M3box i.e. car from 80s).

    Speaking of '80s turbo goodness, one we didn't get in the US that I really want.

    MG Metro Turbo.
