Non-Turbo 2.3 question.

RED you have a PM.

So what you're saying is that actually 60 MPH is pushing it, and it takes a long time to get there. It feels like it's being held back. Do ya think maybe a plugged converter?

As I read the thread I was going to make this exact post. I decided not to so I wouldn't waste space.

by the way...just for advice as kiddiccarus stated. I probably would leave a message back, quite that to the point if it says moderator in the profile.

stangers tend to stick together.

I guess its ok then, I think he's got a turbo coupe and thats not a stang.

I couldn't resist. The guy's post sounded like he started in the middle of an idea anyway, besides the fact that he posted the exact same thing twice

Also apparently he isn't coming back (on his own accord) so...no worries.

My 1990 2.3L Automatic topped out at 75MPH and took forever to get there. Actually, after 60MPH it was a slow crawl to 75MPH. A tailwind helped slightly.

my 90 2.3 was the most fun car i've ever had. She died 3 months after i got her, but it was great, I drove it all winter. I bought it for $400 running on 2 1/2 cylinders, and couldn't keep it over 50mph, but with a nice tune up and oil change, it was doing donughts all night long and cruising at 85 with no problem. It eventually threw a rod through the oil pan when i tried to keep up with a bmw up a hill, it didn't like hills. I have my other stang with a 340-360 hp motor and some donor parts from the 2.3. Unfortunately this car is no hunk of metal, so I have to be nice to it. But this winter I will be buying another 2.3 and giving it to my brother to make a show car at the end of the winter (he wants to do a crazy system, dvd, ps2, and whatever else). long live 2.3l
