I have had 5 of them (Turbocoupes).They make nice cruisers but are really too heavy
to be considered perfomance cars stock.
The 83-86s have T3s and the 87-88s have IHIs which are smaller.
The 87-88 have a hydroboost setup and adj suspension(costly) but
are nicer than the early models.
The autos were rated at 155 and the manuals at 195.
With some small mods(3 inch down elbow and 3 inch exhaust,timing bump,
cold air intake)you can pick up 25-35 hp.
Most of the drivetrains are being used in Mustang swaps(I have one that went 13.45
@ 107 bone stock except for the above mods).
Body and trim parts are hard to find but I would get another if it was in good shape.
26-30 hwy manual,24-28 auto(A4LD is a weak kneed sob).
