Default Re: 80's factory lightweights?

My brother had an 88' LX 5.0 5speed, that was AC delete with crank up windows. It also had the optional 3.08 rear end. I still actively watch for one thats similar.

Back when we were younger and dumber, he was friends with a state trooper and wanted to find out the cars top speed. So the cop set up to gun him and after a 5 mile start to get up to speed he was clocked at 172. The motor was 30 over, had a chip but was still speed density, and had an off road H pipe. We never had that car at the track but based on my experience with our other 5 fox bodies, it probably would have run about 14 flat.
