How fast would one of these be with say 20 lbs of boost, upgraded turbo, built auto 85'?

Just wondering what these cars are capable of.

IIRC that GN had a v8 swapped into it.

A GN with that much boost and the mods to support it I would say high 11's being CONSERVITIVE. Just more boost than stock and tires can get them in the low 13's to high 12's.

i never get tired of seeing that dyno pull i love it i think its amazing that it couldn't get an accurate hp rating because it spun the dyno so its got more hp then that slip im sure.

sad to say but i would trade my stangs for one of those bad boys

They are not only quick, but they are fairly rare to find in decent shape/modified. I know that they are stolen quite often for that matter and that matter alone!!! But they are quick!!!

I couldn't afford a corvette and couldn't find a non-beat Grand National, so here I am, spewing my nonsense on stangnet.

86-87 are the fastest ones. I'm not too sure about the 85, it wasn't the same though. My uncle has a GNX that runs 10s and is plain scary.

Believe it or not guys. The design for the 232ci 3.8l in the V6 Mustangs from 94-04 is based off the Grand Nationals which had the 231ci 3.8l. Anything that you can do to a Grand National you can do to a 3.8 Pony with similar results. And actually has been. The current quickest mustang I believe runs low 11's. So yea that... Lets just say from owning my old 6 I gained a lot of knowledge on them. With some work they are not as slow as some might think.
