Default Question

Some guy at my work is trying to tell me someone he knew had a 89 5.0 and it ran 8.7 seconds on the 1/4. He said all the guy did was put a turbocharger on the engine and gears, he said he did nothing to the engine at all and the car wasnt stripped it had full interior. Is this possible? I tried to tell him how unlikely it was but hes a hardhead.

1st off, that much power (to run 8's in the 1/4) would twist a stock stang enough that you could put it in a tequila shot instead of a lime.... do I even need a 2nd point????[sm=bs.gif]
