Those number are for striped down base models. The sticker on my car was over 6K more than what they have listed.
Edit.. Never mind I just saw the "Base Price" in parentheses. |

225Hp....grab it in 5.0LX and 5spd and you had a sweet ride. 225hp and 300lb torque in a sub 3000lb car was a lot of fun.

I had a 83 Z28 HO with a 5 spd and T-tops. Yes it was fun. Not fast as what I have experienced since but entertaining...

Reminds me of all the praise heaped on old muscle cars.
Once you actually drive a stock one....not so great compared to whats available now but back when they hit the scene they were a blast compared to what was available. Progress will do that.

The 88 had a couple of V8's available that year. 5.0 available in 170HP, 220HP (or 195 with auto) and the 5.7 with 230 (automatic only) It weighed a couple hundred pounds more than the Mustang.

Well you can argue 'claimed hp', maufacturer claims, and dyno numbers all day but it matters not. Mine wasnt stock as I am certain most ended up modded and the butt dyno says
NOT FAST. fun yes but not adrenaline rushing, eyeball bugging fast, at least not beside my 454 swbPU...

I love my '85 GT...210hp 302 and a 5 speed. She gets some new goodies this weekend and its time to rack up some mileage...and burn down a set of tires.
