Default Turbo Probe VS LT1.

Well since my rear end is broken I have been riding with my buddy in his 95 Camaro A4. A couple younger guys at work ride together and they have a 91 ish Turbo Probe and thought it would be fun to play with the LT1 on the way home.
From a dig we ran once and put about4 cars on them in in a short sprint maybe 300 FT. So we get on the E-way and we are just entering and they try to go around us get some momentum and try to pass well when my friend nailed it we ran to about 120 and they were buslenghts behind us. All in all I was pretty impressed with his car because we ran before and I raped him something horrible, Well he told me that he knew he would lose so he didn't give it all it had.
BTW I wouldn't mind having one of these turbo Probes. They said they were running 8-10 PSI.

Probe Turbo's are the same as the MX6 turbos. Pretty quick little cars and can be made pretty fast.

I used to have a 89 turbo probe, they can be made fairly quick, but they top out in the 13's short of dropping in a FE3 turbo or something

With a Thunderbird Hybrid turbo, a boost controler, exhaust and atune they are easily into the low 14's high 13's for around 500 dollars....

Oh and 8-10 PSI if I remember correctly is around stock, I think they mostly run mid low 15's stock
