Did any of you happen to see the episode of Hot Rod Garage where they took a (basically) stock 85gt to the track and added parts to compare the increase in 1/4 mile times?
It was a valiant effort, but failed miserably, in my mind. It was still pretty entertaining. They rented a track for 2 days and spent both days wrenching on the car...adding a few parts, then making a few runs to compare times. I say it failed miserably because they spent some big money on Trickflow heads, aftermarket intake, cam, etc and only went from just under 15.x to 14.x seconds. A slipping clutch, tired engine, and not nearly enough time for dialing everything in was their downfall. But they had some fun and, in the end, that's what it's all about. If they could have stretched it out to 3 or 4 days, they probably could have seen some more impressive times.
