<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: tom406</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I remember when they got their Turbo Buick T-type test car to run a 13.85 or so on street tires. That was a revelation. They were drag racers and got that car to perform properly, showing us that good times were here again in terms of factory performance. DeFeo's stripped black Mustang 5.0 also drove the point home that properly optioned and driven, these new cars were truly fast. This was really exciting to those of us coming of age in '86/'87, having grown up in the 70s and early 80s believing that 13 second cars were last made in 1970 and would not be returning in our lifetimes. </div></div>
