[edit] Near-death experience
Ford ProbeIn the mid 1980s, Mustang sales were slumping. Sales were over 100,000 units a year, but were nothing compared to previous Mustang's numbers, and Ford thought that the Mustang had lost its place in the market. Ford announced that they would replace the rear-wheel drive Mustang with a Japanese derived front-wheel drive version. Mustang fans quickly responded and sent Ford hundreds of thousands of angry letters, asking them to save the rear-wheel drive Mustang. Ford responded, and gave the rear-wheel drive Mustang one more chance. Ford then renamed the front-wheel drive version the Probe.[3]

i beat my buddys probe gt, V6 Auto with my 99 Silverado V6 5-speed. I ran a 16.7 and he ran like a 17.1. I ran his car and the best I could muster out of 3 runs was a 16.9x

Yeah, my 95 and 94 were both pretty quick. You can see them @ www.cardomain.com/id/dohctimes2

edit: Omfg, I just looked at my old cardomain page and on the 2nd page of my probe site I was laughing my *** off at myself right now. I was such a retard, those pics of me installing my old struts...they're like 3years old. Damn I was a retard!
