14.17 stock!!

i picked up a 94 TA for like 1000 dollars (traded my snowmobile for it) car is an auto, stock everything beside a flowmaster muffler. car went 14.17@99 with a 2.1 60foot, i think im 800 foot above sea level where i was at. it realy suprised me expecialy with 121k on the clock! i just wanted to see what it could do expecting like a 14.6 i know its not like record breaking or anything but it sure impressed me for being stock. maybe i can get some 13's out of it stock with a little PCM tuning

Thats sweet...I dont know much about T/A's but it seems pretty quick for that many miles and it being stock...

I am curious what my 93 Z28 would run...110k small mods???

14.17 is pretty much normal.
EDIT: Just seen my timeslips, I guess 14.17 is pretty darn good, I thought I ran 14.2's stock, but it was 14.3's, nice times for a high milage car!

14.17 for an auto, 2.73 geared 121k mile trans am (heaviest f-body) is pretty good. you have a strong running car!

throw a cutout on it, cold air intake, PCM tuning, and some nitrous!

13s are very achievable!! Check the car for mods you just cant see as a car that old may have passed hands and few times and have more than meets the eye.

That sounds pretty good, that is almost exactly what my car ran when it was stock, I had 2.73's too, and only changed them out last year, but they took me into the 12's...

Definily a nice running car for the miles...

Ha Ha 121K miles is just breaking these cars. no "in" to it.

the sum i bought my car was no small amount and i've put an equal amount back in to the car just keeping it running. even then it STILL runs like a turd. i think i got a monday or a friday car.
