What kind of times does a stock 1989 GT convertible with a manual run in the 1/4 mile and 0-60. My dillema here is that I have one stock and want to start modifying it lightly or enough to beat some of these guys around here racing around in civics, eclipses, and other import cars. I know that the convertible is considerably heavier that the hatchback and lx models so I need to know what I'm working with here in the beginning. So far I'm pretty much looking at the basics being headers, cat back, h pipe. Short throw shifter for control getting some lighter wheels. Eventually when I save up getting some differents heads and changing the intake but that will be at least two years before i can do that until then just the basics. I prefer to stay away from a supercharger I just don't have that cash at the moment. Basically I want to have a lightly modified car that is capable of winning some redlight to redlight races and to cruise around in. Help me out. Oh yeah and gears?
