i say thunder bird any day, unless the grand prix was forced induced. then it might stand a chance. i dont think the regal has much to offer from that era <but leave it to someone to prove me wrong>.

Regals and GP's weren't supercharged until 1997, so I assume we're not comparing them?

those 4 banger turbo t-birds went that slow with a few turbos mods they could be made decently quick and a 302 almost drops right in. i know cuz my friend did the same thing and he is currently selling due to his brother smashing it.

Yea, no SC cars of that era

I dont want anything less then a six, especially a V6 bird, I heard those things were put together like caca

So this includes Grand Nationals right?

If not the thunderbird would be my guess.

Twister97 05-12-2005 06:46 PM

No grand nationals, just the three i listed. there was a regal t type or something like that i remember seeing one day, i swore it said 3800 Turbo. It was called the grand sport or something like that
